Anagen Effluvium – Trichology Consultation

Anagen effluvium (or Cancer Treatment Hair Loss) is a diffuse hair loss similar to telogen effluvium, which develops much quicker and that can cause a complete hair loss. It corresponds to the shedding of hair that arises during the anagen phase (growth stage) of the hair cycle. It is mostly seen in people taking drugs. In the case of a chemorethapy, the hair loss occurs as a result of chemicals or radiation,

Anagen Effluvium can present abrupt shredding of much or all the hair on the scalp. It can affect other areas of such as eyebrows, eyelashes and hair body. Hair loss is usually sudden and in some cases occurs 1 to 3 weeks after being exposed to chemicals or radiations. Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation treatments are the most common causes of anagen effluvium.

The main causes of anagen effluvium are infections, drugs, toxins, radiation and autoimmune diseases. Anagen effluvium is considered synomymous with chemotherapy related hair loss and other causes rarely considered. Exposure to toxic chemicals such as Thallium and Arsenic may also produce a sudden loss of hair.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”text-image-in-container grey-bg”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”3003″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
