Telogen Effluvium is a condition marked by noticeable hair thinning, often triggered by significant physical or emotional stress, hormonal shifts, nutritional deficiencies, certain illnesses, the postpartum period, medication use, and various other systemic factors. It occurs when a larger-than-usual number of hair follicles prematurely enter the telogen (resting) phase of the hair growth cycle. Importantly, this condition is typically reversible once the underlying cause is identified and addressed. Diagnosis at a dermatology clinic like Dermanation often involves reviewing your health history, a physical examination, blood tests if indicated, and sometimes a scalp examination to pinpoint the cause, followed by a tailored treatment plan focused on resolving the trigger and promoting healthy hair regrowth.

Accurate Diagnosis: At Dermanation Clinic, we begin with a thorough investigation of your hair loss. This includes a detailed examination of your scalp, a review of your medical history, and potentially blood tests to assess for hormonal imbalances or deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals that can contribute to hair shedding.
Targeting Root Causes: Our treatment strategies are highly personalized, designed to address the specific triggers of your Telogen Effluvium. This may involve guidance on stress management techniques, dietary recommendations, hormonal therapies, or supplementation to correct any identified nutritional deficiencies.
Topical Solutions: Dr. Rachna Singh may prescribe specialized topical treatments, such as minoxidil solutions or other formulations containing vitamins, minerals, or peptides. These are designed to stimulate hair growth and maintain a healthy scalp environment, encouraging hair follicle revitalization and increased hair density.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: Dermanation Clinic offers PRP therapy as an advanced treatment option for Telogen Effluvium. This involves carefully extracting and concentrating platelets from your own blood, which are then strategically injected into the scalp to promote hair growth and improve overall hair density.
Ongoing Support and Maintenance: Following the initiation of treatment, Dermanation Clinic provides regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, adjust the treatment plan as needed, and ensure optimal outcomes. We also offer guidance on long-term hair care practices to maintain hair health and prevent future episodes of hair loss.
Telogen Effluvium, characterized by increased hair shedding due to disruptions in the hair growth cycle, requires a tailored approach to management. Here are some key treatment strategies we employ at Dermanation Clinic:
Identifying and Managing Triggers: Telogen Effluvium can be triggered by various factors, including stress, hormonal fluctuations, nutritional imbalances, illnesses, certain medications, and the postpartum period. Our first step is to identify these potential triggers and develop strategies to manage or mitigate their impact.
Nutritional Support: Ensuring adequate intake of essential vitamins and minerals is vital for healthy hair growth. We may recommend supplements such as iron, vitamin D, B-complex vitamins, or zinc based on your individual needs and any identified deficiencies.
Promoting a Healthy Lifestyle: A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains contributes significantly to overall health, including hair health.
Stress Reduction Techniques: Since stress is a common trigger for Telogen Effluvium, incorporating stress-reducing practices like meditation, yoga, deep breathing exercises, or counseling can be beneficial in managing and preventing hair shedding.
Gentle Hair Care Practices: Avoiding harsh styling techniques and excessive heat application can prevent further damage to the hair and support its natural growth cycle.
Telogen Effluvium is characterized by increased hair loss. Being aware of the common symptoms can help in seeking timely evaluation and management:
Increased Hair Shedding: A primary sign is a noticeable increase in the amount of hair that falls out during washing, brushing, or even throughout the day.
Generalized Thinning: Hair may appear thinner all over the scalp, although it's often more noticeable at the temples and along the hairline.
More Visible Scalp: You might notice that your scalp is more visible, especially when parting your hair or pulling it back, due to the overall decrease in hair density.
Changes in Hair Texture: Some individuals may observe that their hair feels thinner or more brittle than usual, and there might be changes in its overall texture or condition.
Shorter Hair Growth Cycle: In Telogen Effluvium, a larger number of hair follicles enter the resting (telogen) phase prematurely, leading to increased shedding and a disruption of the normal hair growth cycle.
Absence of Bald Patches: Unlike some other forms of hair loss, Telogen Effluvium typically does not result in distinct bald patches or significant areas of complete hair loss on the scalp.
