How to manage my postpartum hair loss and dry skin?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

I completely understand your situation. Postpartum hair loss, known as telogen effluvium, is a common condition. During pregnancy, hormonal changes cause most hair to remain in the growth phase (anagen phase).

After delivery, when pregnancy hormones decline, usually around three months postpartum, a significant number of hairs shift simultaneously from the growth phase to the shedding phase (telogen phase).

This abrupt transition can lead to noticeable and sometimes alarming hair loss. The good news is that this condition is completely reversible and manageable, so there is no need to worry.

Now, let me guide you through a step-by-step management plan for both your hair and facial concerns. For your hair, use the anagen grow spray, applying five puffs at night and leaving it on overnight. You can wash your hair every other day, or sooner if your scalp feels greasy.

It is very important to take nutritional supplements regularly, especially a complete vitamin supplement like Perfectil (biotin, zinc, and antioxidants), once daily.

Additionally, I recommend getting your serum iron levels checked, as low iron can significantly contribute to hair loss. Managing stress is also an essential part of recovery.

Now, moving on to facial care, here is a simple step-by-step routine:

1. Cleanse your face with a gentle, non-foaming cleanser.
2. Apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer.
3. In the evening, use Azelaic acid 20% cream. Apply only a pea-sized amount to your entire face twice a week at night.

You may apply a moisturizer afterwards. In the morning, do not forget to use a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen to maintain skin health and prevent pigmentation.

I hope this explanation and treatment plan help address your concerns. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask.

Thank you.
