Treatments for Telogen Effluvium

Since TE is a result of a past traumatic event on the system, it typically reverses itself as that particular event no longer exists.

It may take several months before the hair grows back in. Consequently, there are no treatments, per se, for TE. One can focus on products that have been proven to stimulate growth, such as Rogaine , Tricomin Therapy Spray, or Nizoral Shampoo, but if the cause of the condition is gone, these simply speed up the turnaround time for regrowth. This could be considered a "treatment".

Ruling Out Other Causes: It is important that you rule out other potential causes of your rapid thinning. Whether you are a man or a woman, there are a handful of potential causes, and you should educate yourself on the various forms of Alopecia before assuming you're experiencing telogen effluvium.

Recommendation: Please be advised that these treatments are only recommended after complete bloodwork has been done, and with the consent of your physician.

For men and women, Tricomin Therapy Spray is recommended
Rogaine for Women, and Rogaine 5% for men may also be helpful, however it is important to note that both of these treatments can cause a temporary shedding period of their own.

Also, making sure you have a balanced and nutritious diet is optimal for healthy hair growth! Read here about how diet and vitamins and supplements can help complement hair loss treatments.
