    Glossary Pressure Alopecia

    hair loss caused by prolonged pressure on the scalp

    Pressure Alopecia, also known as Pressure-Induced Alopecia or Postoperative Alopecia, is a type of hair loss that occurs due to prolonged pressure on a specific area of the scalp. This condition is often seen in patients who have undergone lengthy surgical procedures where the head remains in a fixed position for an extended period, leading to restricted blood flow and subsequent hair follicle damage in the affected area.
