Acute telogen effluvium becomes noticeable around two months after the body’s been exposed to a shock or trigger. It can last multiple months — but usually less than three months.
Telogen effluvium is a scalp disorder characterized by the thinning or shedding of hair resulting from the early entry of hair in the telogen phase (the resting phase of the hair follicle). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is in this phase that telogen hairs begin to shed at an increased rate, where normally the approximate rate of hair loss (having no ...
This drug has been shown to decrease telogen and increase anagen phase of hair follicles, increase VEGF expression, and have indirect vasodilation effects. [11] FDA has approved this drug for use in androgenetic alopecia, but frequent offlabel uses include alopecia areata, chemotherapy induced alopecia, telogen effluvium, and traction alopecia ...
Dietary supplements are not typically recommended. [70] Many people use unproven treatments, [15] but there is little evidence of the effectiveness of vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements regrowing hair or retaining hair. [14] There is no evidence for biotin (vitamin B7). [70]

This process is known as trichomalacia. The main causes of anagen effluvium are an infection, a drug, a toxin, radiation or an autoimmune disease. [3] Toxins that can interrupt hair growth include: Chemotherapy agents, usually prescribed to treat cancer, especially when multiple drugs are used or they are in high dose.
The cause of male-pattern hair loss is a combination of genetics and male hormones; the cause of female pattern hair loss is unclear; the cause of alopecia areata is autoimmune; and the cause of telogen effluvium is typically a physically or psychologically stressful event. [4] Telogen effluvium is very common following pregnancy. [4]
The telogen phase is the resting phase of the hair follicle, about three months. [19] When the body is subjected to extreme stress, as much as 70 percent of hair can prematurely enter the telogen phase and begin to fall, causing a noticeable loss of hair. This condition is called telogen effluvium. [20]
