HAIR LOSS AFTER PREGNANCY<\/h1>\n

How can post-partum hair loss be treated ?<\/h2>\n

Pregnancy brings major changes to a woman's body, often continuing after childbirth. Changes affecting the hair are particularly noticeable. Hormonal fluctuations before, during and after pregnancy can significantly affect hair health.
Aesthetic medicine treatments address and improve this condition.<\/p>\n

Qu’est-ce que la chute de cheveux post-partum ?<\/h2>\n

The post-partum period involves significant hair changes that can be surprising and worrying. Contrary to a common belief, hair loss after childbirth is not abnormal. It is a physiological response to hormonal changes. The shedding can be striking, but it does not indicate permanent loss. Hair follicles remain active and gradually resume their normal cycle, generally within six to twelve months after childbirth.<\/p>\n

Is post-partum hair loss common ?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Hair loss after childbirth is extremely common and affects most women regardless of hair type. It generally appears two to three months after birth and is a form of telogen effluvium, shedding caused by the rapid decline in hormones that kept hair in its growth phase during pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Why does hair fall out after childbirth ?<\/h2>\n

Post-partum shedding follows a well-established mechanism. High oestrogen levels during pregnancy keep much of the hair in the anagen, or growth, phase. Hair stays in place longer, explaining its full appearance during those nine months. After birth, oestrogen levels fall, causing many hairs to enter the telogen, or shedding, phase together. This simultaneous shift of many follicles explains the impression of sudden loss.
Other factors can amplify this naturally temporary process. Tiredness, lack of sleep, nutritional deficiencies, stress or mineral loss associated with breastfeeding can weaken hair fibres and slow regrowth. In some cases, previously latent androgenetic alopecia becomes more visible during this period, making shedding more pronounced.<\/p>\n

How can post-partum hair loss be identified ?<\/h2>\n

Post-partum shedding is usually diffuse, giving the impression of gradually thinning hair. More hair is generally noticed in the brush, shower or on the pillow. Shedding affects the whole scalp but is often more visible at the temples, which are particularly sensitive to hormonal changes.
Unlike other forms of alopecia, post-partum shedding does not cause bald patches. If loss seems excessive, rapid or concentrated in one area, consult a doctor to exclude another cause of alopecia<\/p>\n
