telogen effluvium treatment

[Janekoman12]

Does telogen effluvium go away with time ?

 

[Thespain]

Depends if it's chronic or brought on by something.

 

[Janekoman12]

How do you mean with chronic

I may be suffering from this, will be posting pics soon to get help from the forums.

I'd like to know that answer to this as well!

From what I read from sources it actually goes away with time.... Correct me if I'm wrong.

c'mon guys... GOOGLE!! Telogen Effluvium can occur when there is a significant physiological trauma. Excessive hair loss is noticeable about 3-4 months after this trauma, and can last for about 4-7 months. What causes this hair loss, is your body sending a larger than normal number of follicles into the state of telogen (resting). IF the factor that caused the trauma IS NOT removed, it can become chronic. If you're experiencing Telogen Effluvium from a certain medication, for example, and you DO NOT cease to take this medication, then you may experience it again. Some chronic Telogen Effluvium is unexplainable. This is rare however. Some people are more sensitive to experiencing Telogen Effluvium than others, and in certain people, once you experience the first time, it can become easier to trigger.

Googlay. So is hair loss from chemo therapy basically Telogen Effluvium?

Nope it's Anagen Effluvium = AE

So if my hair thinned because of keratin straightening treatment, in which category does that fall into? *confused*

Vincent... I seriously, seriously, doubt you could possible have Telogen Effluvium from this my friend. I doubt it with every bone in my RU-riddled body. You would have to do some SERIOUS scalp damage, and you would have had OTHER, more noticeable symptoms.

I agree with buckthorn completely. Telogen Effluvium is usually triggered by some internal shock to the system, and it has to be pretty significant. This would include a major surgery, for example, or a vitamin/mineral deficiency. Iron deficiency, for example, is allegedly a major contributor to hair loss. Maybe have yours checked. AE is very rare and usually reserved to children and people undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment.

Ok. But read this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jessica-misener/keratin-hair-fall-out_b_1492467.html

You're right. I should probably learn what a Brazilian keratin treatment is before I make assumptions... I didn't read this whole thing. She could just be full of sh*t. What is this treatment?
