    GlossaryAnagen Induction

    process of stimulating hair follicles to start growing

    Anagen induction refers to the process of stimulating hair follicles to enter the anagen phase, which is the active growth phase of the hair cycle. This can be achieved through various treatments or medications aimed at promoting hair growth and is particularly relevant in addressing conditions like alopecia, where hair growth is impaired.
