Anagen Effluvium

Anagen Effluvium refers to hair shedding that commences during the growth stage of the hair growth cycle. Anagen effluvium has shown to cause diffuse non-scarring alopecia. This is in stark contrast to telogen effluvium where hair shedding onsets during the resting phase of the hair growth cycle.

Symptoms

Sudden and diffuse hair loss affecting the scalp and potentially eyebrows, eyelashes, and body hair.

Tapered, irregular, or broken hair shafts at the ends.

Causes of Anagen Effluvium

Infections

Toxins

Autoimmune diseases

Medications (such as chemotherapy drugs)

Radiation therapy

Treatment Approaches:

While a complete cure may not always be achievable, various methods can help manage hair loss due to anagen effluvium:

  • Minoxidil topical solutions: These stimulate hair growth and may promote some regrowth.

  • Cosmetic options: Hair thickening products or wigs can offer temporary solutions for cosmetic concerns.

  • Scalp cooling: Used during chemotherapy, this technique helps reduce blood flow to the scalp, minimizing hair follicle exposure to chemotherapy drugs and potentially limiting hair loss.

While hair transplants may be advertised as a solution, it’s important to consult with a dermatologist to explore all options and determine the most suitable treatment for your specific case. Hairfree and Hairgrow will provide you with the best solution in the least amount of time.
