One of the most common causes of hair loss, for both men and women, is telogen effluvium. Alopecia is caused by extending the resting phase of the hair. The cause of telogen effluvium is a disorder of the body’s balance, e.g. hormonal disorders, inadequate diet, stress or concomitant diseases.

The implementation of an effective treatment means hair regeneration and disappearance of the thinning, within a few months.
