Is this normal, or should I be concerned?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seasonal hair loss is a phenomenon that is often discussed, but its nature is not always fully understood. Let\u2019s take a closer look at what is really happening\u2014and when it\u2019s time to see a specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The body\u2019s natural biorhythm<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hair growth follows natural renewal cycles. In summer, hair follicles are more active: there is more sunlight, more vitamin D, and improved blood circulation to the scalp. Closer to autumn, some hair enters the resting phase (telogen), which leads to increased shedding\u2014usually 2\u20133 months after peak sun exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is considered normal if hair loss is moderate and not accompanied by other symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Research confirms:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>peak hair shedding occurs between <strong>September and November<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>peak hair growth happens in <strong>spring and early summer<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, a slight increase in hair loss during autumn is a real, physiological process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When \u201cseasonal\u201d hair loss becomes a concern<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to understand that seasonality is only a trigger, not the root cause of the problem. If hair follicles are weakened due to stress, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances, autumn is often when the issue becomes more noticeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Warning signs include:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>hair loss lasting longer than 6\u20138 weeks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>hair falling out in clumps or noticeable thinning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the appearance of receding areas or a widening part<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>itching, flaking, or inflammation of the scalp<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>chronic stress, restrictive diets, illnesses, or hormonal disorders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In such cases, this is no longer simple seasonal shedding, but an underlying condition that requires proper diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to do?<a href=\"https:\/\/www.medest.am\/en\/services\/scalp-treatment\/\"> Diagnosis is the most important step<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Without understanding the cause, treatment should not be started. Similar hair loss symptoms can be caused by androgenetic alopecia, reactive telogen effluvium, iron deficiency, thyroid disorders, stress, or improper hair care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Medest<\/strong>, the first step is <strong>trichoscopy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This diagnostic method allows the doctor to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>assess the condition of hair follicles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>determine hair density<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>detect micro-inflammation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>identify the type and severity of alopecia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Only after this evaluation does the doctor create a personalized hair restoration plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does Medest treat seasonal and reactive hair loss?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medest.am\/en\/services\/plasmatherapy\/\">PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma)<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most effective methods for stimulating hair growth, based on the patient\u2019s own growth factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PRP therapy helps to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>activate \u201cdormant\u201d follicles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>strengthen hair roots<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>reduce hair loss<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>improve hair quality and density after 3\u20134 sessions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At Medest, PRP is performed according to protocols that ensure a high concentration of platelets, significantly increasing treatment effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medest.am\/en\/products-devices\/device\/heleo-pro-led\/\">HELEO4 LED Therapy<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Another effective option is LED therapy using the <strong>HELEO4<\/strong> device.
