Telogen effluvium, a type of hair loss, occurs when large numbers of follicles on the scalp enter the resting phase of the hair growth cycle, called telogen, but the next growth phase doesn’t begin. Women between the ages of 30 to 60 are most affected. It is often secondary to a medical event or condition such as post-pregnancy, illness recovery, or high-stress levels that increase the body’s cortisol level. A stressor event may or may not be present, usually occurring 2–4 months before the onset of hair shedding.

Red light promotes hair growth and inhibits hair follicles from entering the catagen phase, which signals the end of active hair growth. LED therapy works by emitting energy-producing packets of red light deep into the scalp skin's layers. The light creates cellular energy, which strengthens both the cells and the surrounding area creating a perfect scenario for hair growth. LED light therapy is a non-invasive, painless treatment.
This treatment of causing “micro-injuries” allows for an increased blood flow to the scalp inducing hair growth and thickness. This is because derma rolling triggers our body’s natural capacity of regeneration to rebuild collagen and elastin in the skin. It provides an oxygen supply to the roots for nourishment, prevents hair thinning and delays progression to the catagen phase (shedding phase).
Alopecia areata (hair loss caused by autoimmune disease) can be managed with corticosteroids.
PRP which stands for platelet-rich plasma, is a series of superficial injections using a patient’s blood to accelerate tissue and cell repair. The treatment assists with hair loss by injecting growth factors directly into areas of the scalp that need it the most.
A variety of FDA-approved topical and oral treatments for hair loss are available. A GP or dermatologist can determine which is the best option for you. The medication is designed to stimulate growth by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles themselves or correcting hormonal imbalances.
