Sue’s Story: Early Menopause Hair Loss and Telogen Effluvium Recovery

Sue’s hair loss issues: Menopausal Hair Loss

Sue, a woman in her late 30s, came to us distressed about her rapidly thinning hair. Diagnosed with female pattern hair loss due to early-onset menopause and compounded by telogen effluvium. At the time of diagnosis, she had lost approximately 60% of her hair density. Although her scalp was healthy, the combined impact of hormonal changes and stress-induced shedding made her hair appear noticeably thin and fragile, affecting her confidence and self-image.

Sue’s hair loss treatment plan

We developed an intensive 12-month treatment plan for Sue using 20% Vitastim and 20% Biostim, applied twice daily. Additionally, we included the Puls Follicle Builder treatment three times a week to further stimulate follicle activity, promote new growth, and strengthen the hair. This comprehensive approach was designed to counteract the dual impact of Telogen effluvium and hormonal hair loss, aiming to restore density, slow the progression, and rejuvenate her hair.

Sue’s outcome

After a year of consistent treatment, Sue’s hair made a dramatic turnaround. The excessive shedding slowed significantly, and her hair density and volume improved noticeably, filling in the thinning areas and giving her a fuller, healthier appearance. The success of the treatment not only rejuvenated her hair but also helped restore her confidence and sense of self.

What is Telogen Effluvium?

Telogen Effluvium occurs when the hair’s growing phase is interrupted prematurely, causing the hair follicles to enter the telogen (resting) phase of the hair cycle earlier than expected. Following the regular cyclic pattern, diffuse shedding of the hair begins two to four months later.
