Some people using Ozempic have reported hair loss. But is hair loss really a side effect of Ozempic?
Ozempic, also known as Semaglutide, was first made to treat type 2 diabetes. It’s now also used for weight loss. Common side effects include nausea and digestive issues, but some users have noticed hair loss.
Ozempic itself does not directly cause hair loss. Instead, rapid weight loss and reduced calorie intake might lead to hair loss, known as telogen effluvium.
Telogen effluvium can also be triggered by stress, hormonal changes, certain medications, vitamin deficiencies, physical trauma, and exposure to toxins. This phase is usually temporary, lasting between 3-6 months and the hair generally grows back.
1. Take Supplements and Vitamins: Vitamins A, B, C, D, E, zinc, and iron are crucial for hair health.
2. Manage Stress: Find ways to reduce stress and get plenty of quality sleep.
3. Avoid Extreme Diets: Maintain a balanced diet without severe calorie restrictions.
4. Use Minoxidil: This topical treatment can stimulate hair growth.
5. Try Hair Styling Techniques: Gentle styling can minimize hair breakage.
1. Topical and Oral Minoxidil: Helps prolong the growth phase of hair follicles.
2. Nutritional Support: Ensure you get enough protein and essential vitamins, especially D and B12. Consulting with a nutritionist might help.
3. Fatty Acids and Fish Oil: These nutrients are important for hair health.
4. Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF): This treatment uses your own platelets, fibrin, white blood cells, growth factors, and stem cells to promote hair growth.
