PATHOLOGY
The Science of Sudden Shedding
Telogen Effluvium occurs when a sudden, severe shock or systemic
change forces an abnormally large number of hair follicles out of the
growing phase (Anagen) and prematurely into the resting phase
(Telogen).
Unlike genetic thinning, this process typically involves a notable delay.
You may not experience the dramatic increase in shedding until 4
weeks to 3 months after the triggering event, making it difficult to
pinpoint the cause without expert guidance.
OUR PROTOCOL
Clinical Solutions
A multi-phase clinical approach to stabilize shedding and restore hair density.
Diagnostic Clarity
We begin with a comprehensive
review of your recent medical history and utilize 200x magnification to assess the current phase of your follicles and determine the shedding
ratio.
ASSESSMENT
Scalp Detox & Spa Therapy
To combat inflammation and
physical stress, our deeply relaxing Scalp Spa treatments cleanse buildup, soothe irritated tissues, and improve microcirculation.
STABILIZATION
Active Regrowth Stimulation
Once the shed stabilizes, we utilize advanced protocols like Alma TED alongside targeted nutritional support to awaken dormant follicles and accelerate the return to the Anagen phase.
RESTORATION
THE INVESTIGATION
Understanding the Triggers
Identifying the underlying systemic shock is the crucial first step toward halting the shedding process. We investigate three
primary categories of triggers:
Physical & Emotional Stress
Severe illness, high fevers, major surgery, sudden weight loss, or
periods of intense emotional trauma can disrupt the natural hair cycle, forcing follicles into premature rest.
Postpartum & Hormonal
Rapid hormonal shifts following childbirth, ceasing oral
contraceptives, or sudden thyroid imbalances frequently induce
Telogen Effluvium as the body recalibrates.
Scrap & Health
Nutritional deficiencies (like iron or Vitamin D), severe scalp
inflammation, or chronic underlying health conditions can
manifest as sudden, diffuse hair loss.
OUR COMMITMENT

You don’t have to navigate sudden hair loss alone or wait in uncertainty. Encore Hair Center

your hair loss without judgment. Let us help you get to the root of your hair’s health, so you can

Frequently Asked Questions
Detailed answers for informed decisions
It is triggered by a significant physiological or emotional stressor-such as major surgery, severe
illness (like COVID-19), rapid weight loss, or profound psychological trauma-that prematurely forces actively growing hair into the resting phase.
While dandruff itself doesn't cause Telogen Effluvium, severe scalp inflammation, seborrheic dermatitis, or intense scratching can traumatize follicles and contribute to shedding or
exacerbate an existing condition.
Yes. The dramatic drop in estrogen levels following childbirth causes a large percentage of hair to shift from the prolonged growth phase of pregnancy into the shedding phase simultaneously.
The key is identifying and resolving the underlying trigger. Once the stressor is removed or managed, clinical treatments can help stabilize the scalp environment and stimulate new growth faster.
Absolutely. A trichologist can differentiate Telogen Effluvium from other types of hair loss using magnification, rule out underlying deficiencies, and create a targeted recovery plan rather than relying on guesswork.
