Telogen Effluvium

Telogen Effluvium is a common form of temporary hair loss that occurs when a significant number of hair follicles enter the resting (telogen) phase prematurely. This condition is often triggered by stress, illness, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, childbirth, surgery, or certain medications. At Skin World Clinic, our specialists identify the root cause and provide personalized treatments to reduce excessive shedding and restore healthy hair growth.

Diagnosis & Evaluation

Accurate diagnosis is essential for successful treatment. Our specialists perform a thorough scalp examination, review your medical history, lifestyle factors, dietary habits, and conduct necessary laboratory investigations to identify the underlying trigger causing excessive hair shedding.

  • Hair Fall Assessment: Evaluates severity and pattern of hair shedding.
  • Nutritional Screening: Identifies vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
  • Hormonal Evaluation: Detects thyroid, hormonal, or metabolic imbalances.
  • Personalized Treatment Plan: Tailored to your specific condition and triggers.

Benefits of Telogen Effluvium Treatment

With timely intervention and proper management, most patients experience a reduction in hair fall, improved scalp health, and gradual restoration of hair density.

  • Treats Root Cause

    Addresses underlying medical, hormonal, or nutritional triggers.

  • Reduces Excessive Hair Fall

    Helps control ongoing shedding and promotes follicle recovery.

  • Promotes Hair Regrowth

    Supports healthier, stronger, and fuller hair growth.

Telogen Effluvium can be triggered by physical or emotional stress, illness, childbirth, surgery, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, rapid weight loss, or certain medications.

No, Telogen Effluvium is usually temporary. Once the underlying cause is treated, hair growth typically resumes and shedding gradually decreases.

Most patients notice reduced shedding within 2–3 months, while visible improvement in hair density and regrowth may take 6–12 months depending on the underlying cause.
