Telogen Effluvium Treatment

Gentle, Effective Hair Restoration with Dr. Sonal Ahuja at Skin Aesthete Clinic

Are you noticing more hair than usual on your pillow, in the shower drain, or on your hairbrush? If your hair is thinning all over your scalp and you don’t know why, you might be experiencing telogen effluvium, a temporary form of hair loss that’s more common than you think.

What Is Telogen Effluvium?

Telogen effluvium is a temporary hair loss condition where more hair follicles than usual enter the "telogen" or resting phase of the hair growth cycle. Normally, 10% of your hair is in this resting phase, but during telogen effluvium, this number increases significantly, causing noticeable shedding.

This condition can be triggered by several internal and external factors, such as:

  • Physical or emotional stress

  • Hormonal fluctuations (e.g., post-pregnancy, thyroid issues)

  • Nutritional deficiencies (iron, zinc, Vitamin D, B12)

  • Chronic illnesses or infections

  • Surgery or trauma

  • Medications or sudden diet changes

The good news? It’s almost always reversible with the right diagnosis and timely intervention.

Symptoms to Look Out For

  • Excessive Hair Shedding: More than 100 strands falling per day, especially while shampooing or brushing.

  • Diffuse Thinning: Overall reduction in hair density rather than patchy bald spots.

  • Visible Scalp: Especially around the crown or front hairline when tying your hair.

  • Changes in Texture: Hair may feel finer, drier, or more brittle.

  • Shorter Growth Cycles: New growth appears but falls out sooner than expected.

It’s important to note that, unlike conditions such as alopecia areata, telogen effluvium does not usually cause bald spots,

How We Treat Telogen Effluvium at Skin Aesthete Clinic

At Skin Aesthete Clinic, we don’t believe in guesswork or quick fixes. Dr. Sonal Ahuja’s treatment plans are grounded in medical precision and patient-centered care.

1. Detailed Diagnosis

We begin with a comprehensive consultation and scalp analysis, including:

  • Your medical history and lifestyle habits

  • Blood tests to detect vitamin or hormone imbalances

  • Scalp and hair root evaluation

  • In rare cases, a scalp biopsy for accurate diagnosis

2. Addressing the Root Cause

Once the trigger is identified, we build a custom recovery plan, which could include:

  • Stress management techniques such as guided meditation or counseling

  • Dietary corrections and meal plans for balanced nutrition

  • Hormonal therapy, if needed, for thyroid or postnatal imbalances

  • Supplements like biotin, iron, Vitamin D3, B12, or zinc

3. Topical & Prescription Treatments

To stimulate hair growth from the outside in, Dr. Ahuja may recommend:

  • Topical medication or hair serums enriched with peptides and growth factors

  • Scalp treatments for improving blood flow and follicle strength

  • Medicated shampoos and conditioners tailored to your scalp type

4. PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

A favorite among our patients, PRP therapy is a regenerative technique where your own blood is used to boost scalp health. After extracting and enriching platelets, they are injected into the scalp to stimulate follicles and improve hair density.

5. Maintenance & Follow-Up

Recovery takes time, and we’re with you every step of the way. Dr. Sonal Ahuja

  • Tracks your progress through scheduled reviews

  • Makes adjustments if needed

  • Educates you on hair care routines for long-term wellness

Lifestyle Changes That Help

Telogen effluvium recovery is faster when combined with daily care and awareness. Here are some key practices we recommend:

  • Eat a Hair-Friendly Diet: Focus on iron-rich leafy greens, lean proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, and whole grains.

  • Manage Stress Naturally: Try yoga, journaling, or mindfulness to reduce daily cortisol levels.

  • Stay Hydrated: Maintaining good water intake improves skin and scalp health.

  • Avoid Heat & Harsh Chemicals: Limit the use of hot tools and chemical treatments during recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • Q1: Is telogen effluvium permanent?
    No, telogen effluvium is a temporary hair loss condition. Once the underlying cause is addressed, hair usually starts to regrow within 3–6 months.
  • Q2: Can I treat this at home with oils or shampoos?
    While basic scalp care is helpful, proper diagnosis and medical intervention are essential for effective recovery. Over-the-counter products alone may not treat the root cause.
  • Q3: Will all my hair grow back?
    In most cases, yes. However, full regrowth depends on early diagnosis, consistent treatment, and lifestyle changes.
  • Q4: How do I know it’s not permanent hair loss like androgenetic alopecia?
    Dr. Ahuja differentiates between telogen effluvium and other types of hair loss through scalp exams, trichoscopy, and lab reports to ensure correct diagnosis.
  • Q5: Can stress alone cause this condition?
    Yes. Emotional or physical stress can disrupt your hair growth cycle. The good news is, once stress is managed, hair usually returns to its normal growth pattern.
