What is telogen effluvium?
Telogen effluvium is a condition characterized by diffuse hair shedding triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes.
Unlike androgenetic alopecia (AGA), telogen effluvium typically involves an abrupt shift of hair follicles from the growth phase into the resting phase, leading to shedding.
Red light therapy may help stabilize the follicular environment during telogen effluvium by improving cellular metabolism, supporting mitochondrial function, and encouraging a faster return to the active anagen phase.
