Telogen Effluvium Treatment focuses on identifying and managing the underlying causes of excessive hair shedding. Telogen Effluvium is a temporary hair loss condition that occurs when a large number of hair follicles enter the resting (telogen) phase of the hair growth cycle. It often develops after physical or emotional stress, illness, hormonal changes, or nutritional deficiencies. At Elegance Clinic in Adajan, Surat, Dr. Ashutosh Shah provides a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan to help reduce hair shedding and promote healthy hair regrowth.
Early diagnosis can help identify the trigger and support faster recovery.
What Is Telogen Effluvium?
Telogen Effluvium Treatment is a form of temporary hair loss that causes diffuse hair shedding across the scalp rather than localized bald patches. It usually appears a few months after a triggering event and can affect both men and women.
At Elegance Clinic, every patient undergoes a detailed hair and scalp assessment to determine the cause of hair shedding and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
What Causes Telogen Effluvium?
Several factors can trigger this condition, including:
- Physical or emotional stress
- High fever or severe illness
- Surgery
- Childbirth
- Hormonal changes
- Thyroid disorders
- Iron deficiency
- Vitamin deficiencies
- Rapid weight loss
- Poor nutrition
- Certain medications
- Chronic illness
Identifying the underlying cause is essential for effective treatment.
