Anagen is the most intense hair growth stage (stands for cell division in the hair follicle). This is one of the three phases of hair growth - thus The longer it lasts, the longer the hair is. Observing the anagen phase is important in terms of laser depilation. The procedure to remove unwanted hair is most effective when the hair is in this growth phase.

Anagen - the active phase of hair growth

Anagen is the first and most important hair growth phase - is the active phase of hair growth. During this period, the hair is permanently attached to the follicle, so that it is nourished and grows in length. On the head, as much as 85-90% of hair is in the anagen phase - this lasts between 2 and 6 years. The duration of anagen depends on the particular site on the body and the individual conditions of the patient.

Anagen phase versus anagen hair loss

Anagen alopecia (anagen effluvium) is closely linked to the anagen phase. It involves the intensive loss of hair that is in the anagen phase due to various factors. Anagen alopecia manifests itself by sudden (partial or total) hair loss. This scalp disease is usually of a reversible nature.
