What telogen effluvium?

Telogen effluvium refers to a reduction in hair density due to many follicles entering the resting phase.

It’s important to keep in mind that the telogen phase of hair on the scalp typically lasts three months, while the growth, called anagen phase lasts about three years. If we consider that we have approximately 100,000 hairs, we can deduce that approximately 100 hairs should fall out each day and another 100 should grow in their place.

Causes

There are many reasons why Telogen Effluvium can develop, such as a lack of certain foods or key nutrients or vitamins, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, or simply aging.
Causes that lead hair to enter the resting phase, or telogen phase, include traumatic physical or psychological events, such as a serious illness, hospitalization, or the loss of a job or a loved one.
The exact cause of telogen effluvium in most patients is usually unknown.

Clinical Signs

The patient perceives that the amount of hair falling out when combing or after washing is larger than normal. Because the hair loss is diffuse and affects the entire scalp, the patient perceives a decreased hair density. However, when examined by trichoscopy, the hair thickness remains normal and no inflammatory signs or anisotrichosis are present.

Diagnosis

The diagnosis is clinical and is established based on the patient’s description and by observing that the hair is normal under the trichoscope. The Pull Test may be positive. The Rebora Test is usually positive.

Biopsies or blood tests do not provide relevant data and are usually normal.

Frequently asked questions

The most frequently asked questions about Telogen Effluvium can be found here:

The main symptom of telogen effluvium is hair thinning without a specific defined pattern. This is due to an alteration in the phases of the follicular cycle.
The follicular cycle is divided into two phases: the telogen phase, which includes the period of hair loss, and the anagen phase, which corresponds to the growth phase.
Telogen effluvium is due to a reduction in the anagen phase and, consequently, an increase in the telogen phase, resulting in hair loss of up to 300 hairs per day.

Telogen effluvium is a temporary hair loss or thinning condition due to various causes such as stress, iron, zinc, or biotin deficiency, endocrine causes, among others.
To achieve this, it is important to understand the cause in order to treat it effectively and reduce the period of hair loss while stimulating hair growth.

There is no specific timeframe for hair loss.
It’s common for hair to begin recovering after the fourth month of treatment, but it can take longer in some cases.
