Postpartum alopecia

How long does postpartum alopecia last?

During pregnancy, women become radiant and their hair looks extremely healthy. Unfortunately, the nourishing state ends with childbirth and goes to the extreme of postpartum alopecia. Baldness combined with the bodily side effects of pregnancy is a cause of great complexes for many women, through which they stop accepting how they look. The first symptoms of post-partum baldness appear in women between the first day and three months after the end of pregnancy. The hair becomes brittle and fragile and loses its natural volume and shine. Clearances across the scalp are also one of the symptoms.

Why do women go bald after childbirth?

Baldness Postnatal hair is dependent on the hormonal economy, which changes with the birth of the baby. During pregnancy, the body produces oestrogens, which are responsible for, among other things, healthy and shiny hair. After childbirth, estrogen levels drop and are replaced by prolactin (responsible for the breast glands), which has no beneficial effect on hair.

How to combat excessive hair loss?

Postpartum alopecia is very difficult to combat with home methods or drugstore cosmetics. Hormones are stronger than conditioners and are unable to balance their condition. For the wellbeing of all mums, our practice offers treatments that effectively combat postpartum baldness.

Treatments for postpartum alopecia

At our Wellclinic medical practice, we offer effective treatment of postpartum alopecia by laser therapy. The treatment is performed with a device Fotona Dynamis Sp Pro. The laser platform stops hair loss and covers hair loss, regardless of the origin of the problem. The method does not interfere directly with the body, but women can only undertake it after they have stopped breastfeeding their children. The treatment guarantees an effective return to healthy-looking hair, even if hair has been falling out by the handful for a long time. The action of the Fotona device stimulates dead hair follicles and invigorates their growth, which is why its effects are 300% better than in the case of traditional hair transplantation.

What does a treatment to combat postpartum baldness look like?

The laser treatment for postpartum alopecia at our clinic in Warsaw is combined with tissue biostimulator technology. As such, it consists of two stages. The first is performed with the Fotona Dynamis Sp PRO laser, during which long laser pulses act directly on the hair follicles that have been dormant after childbirth and stimulate their growth. The treatment is performed using a special head, which precisely applies the laser energy to the areas requiring restoration.

The second stage is Nucleofill Hair, a biostimulation method. Mesotherapy of the scalp is performed with a preparation containing polynucleotides. The substance has a strong effect on hair restoration and, according to doctors, is more effective than platelet-rich plasma.

The treatment offered by Wellclinic does not interfere directly with the patients' skin and does not cause damage to their health. The recovery period is negligible and the effect can be seen after the first visit.
