Is Hair Transplantation Necessary for Postpartum Hair Loss?

For women who have given birth, being exhausted from childcare is hard enough, and what can make it even more difficult is postpartum hair loss.
Today, at Dana Plastic Surgery, we will talk about postpartum hair loss and whether treatment is necessary.

Should postpartum hair loss really be treated with surgery?
How exactly is it treated?
How long should you wait?
After giving birth, many people who experience postpartum hair loss worry that their hair may not grow back because of the sudden shedding.

In fact, during pregnancy, many people think hair will fall out more because nutrients go to the baby, but during pregnancy, estrogen levels increase,
which lengthens the hair growth cycle and ultimately reduces the amount of hair that falls out compared to usual.
However, after childbirth, hormones return to normal and hair begins to fall out rapidly.
This period can last as long as 6 to 12 months.

In most cases after childbirth, hair loss progresses in the form of many fine hairs falling out around the M-shaped hairline area.
There are various treatment methods for postpartum hair loss, such as mesotherapy and laser therapy.
However, since it usually recovers within 1 to 2 years,
treatment is generally not recommended.

However, if the degree of hair loss remains severe even after 1 to 2 years and does not recover, please consider more active treatment.
Also, excessive stress and extreme dieting after childbirth can have a negative effect on hair loss, so please be careful.
