    Glossary Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia

    scarring hair loss at the front hairline, often in postmenopausal women

    Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA) is a type of scarring hair loss that primarily affects postmenopausal women, though it can occur in men and younger women. It is characterized by a progressive recession of the frontal hairline and often includes loss of eyebrows and other body hair. The condition is thought to be an autoimmune disorder, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to inflammation and permanent hair loss.
