    gradual deterioration of structures producing hair, leading to thinning

    Hair Follicle Degeneration refers to the process where hair follicles, the tiny structures in the skin that produce hair, gradually deteriorate and lose their ability to function properly. This can lead to thinning hair or baldness and is often associated with conditions like alopecia or aging. For professionals, it involves changes at the cellular level, including reduced stem cell activity and alterations in the follicle's microenvironment.
