Weight loss injections have become one of the biggest trends in health and aesthetics. They promise rapid results, slimmer waistlines, and newfound confidence. But many patients notice something unexpected along the way: increased hair shedding.
Is it the jab itself, or is something else at play? Let’s break down the science, the myths, and the options available if hair loss becomes part of your journey.
Why Hair Loss Happens During Rapid Weight Loss
Hair health depends on balanced nutrition, steady hormones, and healthy circulation. When the body experiences sudden changes, like rapid weight loss, hair follicles can enter a “resting” phase known as telogen effluvium. This condition is temporary but can cause noticeable shedding.
Weight loss jabs often accelerate this process because:
-
Nutrient Deficiency: Appetite suppression may mean fewer vitamins and minerals, especially iron, zinc, and biotin – all essential for hair growth.
-
Stress on the Body: Rapid metabolic changes can temporarily shock hair follicles.
-
Hormonal Shifts: Weight loss alters hormone balance, which can influence hair density.
Is It Permanent?
The good news is that hair shedding linked to weight loss jabs is usually temporary. Once the body adapts and nutrition is stabilized, hair often regrows. However, if shedding reveals underlying thinning or genetic hair loss, the process may be more noticeable and that’s where advanced treatments come in.
