Doreen’s hair loss issues: Female Pattern Balding and Telogen Effluvium

Doreen, a vibrant woman in her mid-70s, came to us distressed about her thinning hair. Diagnosed with female pattern hair loss and Telogen effluvium (TE), she had experienced a 40% reduction in hair density. Although her scalp was healthy, these conditions were causing excessive shedding and visible thinning, making her feel much older and affecting her confidence.

Doreen's hair loss treatment plan

We created a 12-month regimen using 15% Vitastim and 15% Biostim, applied twice daily in the morning and evening. The focus was to reduce the shedding caused by Telogen effluvium, stimulate hair follicles, and boost overall density to counteract the impact of female pattern hair loss.

Doreen's outcome

After a year of dedicated treatment, Doreen’s hair made a remarkable recovery. The excessive shedding was brought under control, and her hair density improved significantly, restoring her hair’s thickness and vitality. Doreen was thrilled with the outcome, feeling more youthful and confident than ever before.

"I thought thinning hair was just something I had to accept at my age. Gary showed me that wasn't the case at all. The treatment worked brilliantly — my hair has so much more thickness now and I feel so much better for it."

— Doreen, Telogen Effluvium client

What is Telogen Effluvium?

Telogen Effluvium is a form of diffuse, temporary hair loss caused by a disruption to the normal hair growth cycle. A significant physical or emotional trigger — such as illness, surgery, major stress, nutritional deficiency, or hormonal change — causes a large proportion of hairs to simultaneously enter the resting (telogen) phase, leading to widespread shedding two to three months later. In most cases, Telogen Effluvium is reversible once the underlying trigger is addressed.

“Telogen Effluvium is one of the most misunderstood forms of hair loss. It looks alarming, but in the vast majority of cases it's completely reversible with the right approach.”
