Summary
Telogen effluvium (TE) is common hair shedding. Experts recommend a unified approach for diagnosis, trigger identification, and patient education, plus accessible topical treatments for better hair loss management in Canada.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Trichology
Background:
- Telogen effluvium (TE) is a common, nonscarring alopecia causing generalized hair thinning.
- It results from stressors shifting hair follicles from anagen to telogen phase.
- Women are more frequently affected and seek help due to psychological impact.
Purpose of the Study:
- To consolidate expert opinions on TE management in Canada.
- To identify and address gaps in current TE care.
- To propose a unified assessment and management strategy.
Main Methods:
- Consensus-building among Canadian hair-expert dermatologists.
- Review of current TE diagnosis and treatment protocols.
- Development of recommendations for clinical practice.
Main Results:
- Identified a care gap for TE patients in Canada.
- Proposed a unified method for TE assessment and management.
- Recommendations include proper diagnosis, trigger identification (e.g., nutritional deficiencies), and patient education.
Conclusions:
- A standardized approach to TE management is needed in Canada.
- Identifying and treating triggers is key.
- Providing patients with safe, accessible topical treatments is beneficial.

Hair growth begins with the production of keratinocytes by the basal cells of the hair bulb. As new cells are deposited at the hair bulb, the hair shaft is pushed through the follicle toward the surface. Keratinization is completed as the cells are pushed to the skin surface to form the shaft of hair that is externally visible. The external hair is completely dead and composed entirely of keratin. Hair can be cut or shaven without damaging the hair structure because the cut is superficial. Most...
