    GlossaryShock Loss

    temporary hair shedding after scalp trauma or stress

    Shock loss refers to the temporary shedding of hair that can occur after a hair transplant or other significant stress to the scalp. This phenomenon happens when the trauma from the procedure or stress causes the hair follicles to enter a resting phase, leading to hair falling out. While it can be alarming, shock loss is usually temporary, and the hair typically regrows within a few months.
