GlossaryTelogen Effluvium (telogen hair loss)

temporary hair shedding due to stress or hormonal changes

Telogen Effluvium (TE) is a condition characterized by temporary hair shedding, often triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes. It occurs when a significant number of hair follicles enter the telogen (resting) phase prematurely, leading to noticeable hair loss. This condition is usually reversible, with hair growth typically resuming once the underlying cause is addressed.
