    GlossaryMicroinflammation

    low-grade, chronic inflammation occurring at a microscopic level

    Microinflammation refers to a low-grade, chronic inflammatory response that occurs at a microscopic level within tissues. It is often characterized by the presence of immune cells and inflammatory markers, but without the overt symptoms of acute inflammation. This subtle, ongoing inflammation can contribute to various conditions, including hair loss (alopecia), by disrupting normal cellular functions and tissue health.
