    Glossary Occlusion

    covering skin or scalp to retain moisture and enhance treatment

    Occlusion in the context of dermatology and hair care refers to the process of covering the skin or scalp with a substance to create a barrier. This barrier can help to retain moisture, enhance the absorption of topical treatments, and protect the area from external irritants. For example, using an occlusive agent like petroleum jelly can help to lock in moisture and improve the efficacy of treatments for conditions like alopecia.
