    GlossaryRetrograde Alopecia

    Retrograde alopecia is a form of hair loss characterized by the thinning or receding of hair at the temples and the frontal hairline, often leading to a more pronounced appearance of the forehead. This condition is particularly relevant in the context of androgenetic alopecia, where hormonal factors contribute to hair follicle miniaturization. Key distinguishing characteristics include the specific pattern of hair loss, which typically does not affect the crown of the head, and its potential association with other types of hair loss, such as male or female pattern baldness.
