Hair loss is often a sign of an underlying issue and stress is a common but sometimes overlooked cause. At City Clinics, we help identify stress-related hair loss including telogen effluvium and provide personalised treatments to restore healthy hair growth.

Stress can disrupt the natural hair growth cycle, causing noticeable shedding. Understanding this connection can help you manage and restore healthy hair growth.
Telogen effluvium, the most common stress-induced hair loss, occurs when stress pushes more follicles into the resting phase, causing increased shedding. This condition is usually temporary, and with proper treatment, hair can return to its normal growth cycle.
Stress raises cortisol levels, disrupting hormone balance and leading to hormonal hair loss. This imbalance can cause thinning hair and hinder regrowth.
Telogen effluvium is the most common form of stress-induced hair loss. It occurs when physical or emotional stress causes hair follicles to enter the resting phase, resulting in noticeable hair shedding. This type of hair loss is usually temporary, and hair regrowth is possible with the right approach.
Stress elevates cortisol levels, which can disrupt the balance of other hormones. This hormonal imbalance may lead to thinning hair and hinder healthy regrowth. Addressing stress and hormonal issues is key to restoring hair health.
Hair begins to retreat around the frontal hairline and temple zones, often forming a sharper angle or a pronounced “V” shape commonly referred to as a widow’s peak.
Hair density decreases in the crown or vertex area. This can occur in isolation or alongside frontal recession, creating a combined pattern of loss.
Hair may shed in isolated spots that follow a recognisable pattern, gradually merging as the condition progresses. In some cases, this is accompanied by diffuse thinning—where overall scalp coverage diminishes, with certain areas appearing more affected.
Significant thinning is visible across the top of the scalp, including the crown. Remaining strands tend to be sparse and fine, offering minimal coverage.
The majority of hair across the top of the head is absent, typically leaving a horseshoe-shaped band of hair around the sides and back. These follicles are generally more resistant to hormonal changes.
Hair is completely absent from the crown and upper scalp. The remaining fringe around the sides and back may also appear thin and reduced in volume.

It is a condition where stress causes a significant number of hair follicles to enter the resting phase at once, leading to diffuse hair shedding.
In most cases, stress-related hair loss is temporary. However, stress can sometimes trigger
conditions like alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks
hair follicles. This can lead to patchy hair loss and, in severe cases, more extensive hair loss.
While there’s no cure, some treatments aim to modulate the immune response and promote hair regrowth.
If your hair loss began after a stressful event and involves noticeable shedding, stress may be the cause. A consultation at City Clinics can confirm this and guide your treatment.
We offer FUE hair transplants, scalp care solutions, and stress management strategies to
address both the cause and the symptoms of hair loss.
You can expect to see initial hair regrowth within 3-4 months, with full results typically
visible between 9 and 12 months.
