verb

to promote hair growth; to regrow hair; trichogenesis

Specifically refers to the growth or regrowth of hair on the human head. Often used in medical, cosmetic, and health care contexts. Pronounced with fourth tone (fà) to distinguish from the general 'growth' meaning in some contexts, though first tone is also heard.
