Post Partum Hairloss - Telogen Effluvium 🤍 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ▫️What is postpartum hair loss? Postpartum hair loss is the excessive shedding of hair a few months after you give birth. It's caused by hormone changes that occur during and after pregnancy. 🙌🏽 ▫️How does hair grow? Hair grows from small pores in the skin on your scalp called follicles. Your hair is continuously growing and shedding. This cycle of hair growth has three phases that repeat throughout your lifetime: 🌱Anagen phase is the phase of active hair growth. It can last between two and six years. Most of your hair (85% to 90%) is in this phase at any given time. 🌱Catagen phase is a short, transitional phase where the hair follicles shrink. 🌱Telogen phase is a resting phase that lasts about three months. After, the follicle releases the hair and the hair falls out. ▫️How does postpartum hair loss occur? Pregnancy hormones cause many hairs in the growing phase (anagen) to suddenly enter the resting phase (telogen). A few months later, you lose that hair. 🙌🏽🤍 You typically have 80,000 to 120,000 hairs on your scalp and shed up to 100 hairs per day. In postpartum hair loss, you lose more than 100 hairs daily.🙌🏽 ▫️How long does postpartum hair loss last? Though it may be distressing to lose hair, postpartum hair loss is only temporary❕ The shedding should last less than six months. Your hair should regain its fullness by the time your child turns one.🙌🏽 ▫️How common is postpartum hair loss? It is a VERY common type of hair loss in women. Most people notice some hair loss after childbirth.🙌🏽 Mamas , it’s important to know that you are NOT alone & there is light at the end of the tunnel! You know what they say , the real hair loss actually starts when those little fingers learn to grip ! 😊🙈🤍 ——— FOR MORE INFO: 📞- (044) 533 - 0518 📩[email protected] 🌐 www.huttonmedical.co.za ——— • • • #postpartumhairloss #hairloss #alopecia #hairlosssolution #hairlosstreatment #thinninghair #hairgrowth #hairlosshelp #femalehairloss #womenshairloss #hairlosssolutions #postpartum #plettenbergbay #huttonmedical #wellness #health

Profhilo for post-pregnancy/post-weight loss skin laxity. 🙌🏽✨ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After giving birth or losing weight, the stretched, damaged skin may be unable to return to its original state. 🙌🏽 This often leads to a loose "flab" of skin around the tummy and waist area. Profhilo, primarily used to treat signs of ageing on the face and neck, can address loose skin around the body caused by physical stretching as well. ✔️ At Hutton Medical, we offer Profhilo treatment to for sagging skin around different parts of the body like the arms, legs and torso. This includes skin laxity due to: 🌱Loss of skin collagen from ageing, or other similar processes 🌱Stretched skin around the tummy and waist due to pregnancy 🌱Weight loss Because this treatment works by bio-remodelling of collagen and elastin structures in the skin, it is effective in these cases as well.✔️✨ 🔹The Profhilo treatment has minimal to no downtime. The initial results are typically seen about 1 month after the first treatment session, where the skin around your arms, legs or tummy will start to tighten and sag less. 🙌🏽 This tightening will continually improve over the next 2 to 3 months. Some patients report seeing slight results within 1 week of the first session.✔️ However, depending on the size of the treatment area and extend to skin laxity, more sessions may be required before the results can be seen. For post-pregnancy skin laxity which can affect the entire waist, at least 3 initial sessions may be needed.😊🙌🏽 We recommend that you start with 2 sessions about a month apart. Subsequently, one session is recommended every 6 months for the for the most optimal results.✔️ Mamas , come and book your treatment with us today! 😊🤍 ——— FOR BOOKINGS: 📞- (044) 533 - 0518 📩[email protected] 🌐 www.huttonmedical.co.za ——— • • • #plettenbergbay #huttonmedical #wellness #health #aesthetic #aestheticmedicine #love #motivation #lifestyle #healthyliving #building #wellbeing #life #instagood #inspirational
