Telogen Effluvium

Welcome to The House of Skin

At The House of Skin, we understand the distress and concern that hair loss can bring. Telogen Effluvium is a common cause of temporary hair loss, and we’re here to provide you with the knowledge and support you need to address it effectively.

Understanding Telogen Effluvium

Telogen Effluvium is a type of hair loss characterized by excessive shedding of hair, typically resulting from a disruption to the normal hair growth cycle. Normally, hair grows in a cycle with three phases: anagen (growth phase), catagen (transitional phase), and telogen (resting phase). Telogen Effluvium occurs when a significant number of hair follicles suddenly shift into the telogen phase prematurely, leading to increased shedding and noticeable thinning of the hair.

Causes of Telogen Effluvium

Various factors can trigger Telogen Effluvium, including:

1. Physical or Emotional Stress: Traumatic events, surgery, severe illness, childbirth, or emotional stress can disrupt the hair growth cycle, leading to Telogen Effluvium.

2. Nutritional Deficiencies: Inadequate intake of essential nutrients like iron, protein, or vitamins can affect hair health and contribute to Telogen Effluvium.

3. Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as those experienced during pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid disorders, may lead to hair loss.

4. Medications: Certain medications, such as antidepressants, beta-blockers, retinoids, and anticoagulants, can induce Telogen Effluvium as a side effect.
