Conditions We Investigate
Excessive Shedding (Telogen Effluvium)
A period of noticeably increased shedding that commonly follows a physical or emotional stressor several weeks or months earlier.
What patients often notice
- Handfuls of hair in the shower or brush
- Diffuse thinning rather than patches
- A clear before-and-after point in time
When to schedule an evaluation
When shedding continues beyond a few months, or when you cannot identify what changed.
