Results, Female Hair Loss Treatment and Check Ins
Client concerns were hair loss and hair thinning as well as dry scalp, hair breakage and hair that would not grow past a short length. There was a stressful FIFO job that was also shift work and when she could sleep, the hair loss concerns were causing broken sleep and anxiety. Diet and exercise were good but had a habit of being an overthinker.
Bloods showed reasonable nutritional levels, there were some lows but not enough to be causing the hair loss, but we could see the thyroid was moving around a lot and there was a family history. Trichology consultation uncovered the use of medications to sleep which had been stopped 3 months earlier contributing to current hair loss. Nutritional lows and moving thyroid on top of consistent unrelenting stress resulting in the hair thinning. Was also interesting to note she reported sugar cravings.
We introduced a topical routine incorporated into normal hair washing along with some nutritional support to help with cellular correction. Diet was also discussed as we were trying to support low end ferritin and vitamin D. They were not deficiencies, but low enough to be contributing to the symptoms. We also had to incorporate essential fatty acids to help with the scalp situation.
This is where we choose very individual treatments based on current circumstances, money was not a problem, but she was time poor and did not have much choice of food when working away. We did not catch up to check results as often as we would like, every 4 months, but when we did, things were improving, but could always be better. At our most recent catch up, treatment was on track, she was no longer doing the stressful job and had time to focus on food.
The changes in the hair were dramatic and all the blood test markers were also improving. This shows how important happiness and reducing stress can impact health in general, sleep had also improved and there was a general feeling of wellbeing, I had never seen this client so happy. We have now provided a basic maintenance program to keep the hair cycle on track as we need to keep watching the blood tests. Sometimes we can get a great result with the hair using topical treatment, diet, and nutritional supplementation, but we always need to keep watching for underlying causes, in this case moving iron studies, vitamin D drops without supplement support and moving thyroid.
This is where our check ins are super important to maintain results and prevent hair loss from occurring again. We are here for you. Check ins can be a Trichology Consultation 30-45 minutes including blood test review and digital comparison, or full-service microscopic tracking with our signature Scope Sessions. Both services can be done in clinic or online and they prove time and time again how helpful it is to keep things on track. When was the last time you checked in with Absolique Trichologist?
