Telogen Effluvium

Telogen Effluvium is a temporary hair loss condition that occurs when a large number of hair follicles enter the resting (telogen) phase prematurely, leading to excessive shedding. It is often triggered by physical or emotional stress, illness, hormonal changes, or nutritional deficiencies. Unlike permanent hair loss, Telogen Effluvium results in diffuse hair thinning rather than bald patches and can typically be reversed once the underlying cause is addressed. At our clinic, we focus on identifying the triggers and providing targeted treatments to restore the hair growth cycle for healthy regrowth.

FAQs
