  • Can severe dandruff cause hair loss?

    Dandruff itself does not directly cause hair loss, but the inflammatory scalp environment that causes dandruff may accelerate hair loss. Due to seborrheic dermatitis, oxygen and nutrient supply to the hair follicles decrease, and growth-phase hair sheds prematurely. If dandruff and hair loss appear together, simply changing shampoo is often not enough, and a precision diagnosis of the scalp inflammation condition should come first.

  • My hair loss became worse after dyeing or bleaching. What is the cause?

    Chemical ingredients used in dyeing and bleaching (such as ammonia and hydrogen peroxide) can destroy the scalp’s acidic protective barrier and directly damage hair follicle cells. In particular, bleaching contains high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, causing strong scalp irritation, and damage accumulates with repeated procedures. If your scalp became sensitive and hair loss increased after treatment, a precision diagnosis to check for follicle damage is necessary. The earlier treatment begins during the recoverable stage, the better the results.

  • Can scalp inflammation cause hair loss?

    Yes, if scalp inflammation becomes chronic, it can lead to hair loss. Metabolites from Malassezia yeast that proliferate in seborrheic dermatitis cause scalp inflammation, and when this inflammation repeats, tissue around the hair follicles becomes damaged. If inflammation continues for a long time, the follicles may shrink or become fibrotic, resulting in a condition where hair can no longer grow.

  • How much does treatment cost?

    Because treatment methods vary depending on the cause of hair loss and follicle condition, exact costs can only be provided after an in-person diagnosis at HairON Clinic. Generally, customized programs are designed based on a 3–6 month treatment period, minimizing burden through reasonable pricing and various program options.

  • How can diet-related hair loss be prevented?

    Avoid rapid weight loss and maintain protein intake of 1 g per kg of body weight. Iron and zinc intake should also be considered. If necessary, consult a medical professional to establish a safe diet plan.

  • Can a low-carb diet cause hair loss?

    Carbohydrate restriction itself can contribute to hair loss, but the main issue is overall calorie and protein deficiency. Extreme diets may also cause micronutrient deficiencies, so a balanced diet is important.

  • How long does recovery take?

    It varies by individual, but generally takes 3–6 months or more. Time is needed for hair to re-enter the growth phase. Early nutritional correction and treatment may speed recovery.

  • Do I need hair loss medication for diet-related hair loss?

    Medication is not required in all cases. For telogen effluvium, nutritional correction is the priority. If genetic hair loss is also present, medication may be considered.

  • Is iron deficiency related to hair loss?

    Low ferritin levels reduce oxygen supply to follicles. Iron deficiency is commonly found in female hair loss patients. Blood testing is important.

  • Does protein deficiency really cause hair loss?

    Hair is a protein structure, so deficiency directly affects it. Low protein intake makes it difficult to maintain the growth phase, especially when overall food intake is reduced.

  • Can diet-related hair loss recover naturally?

    If nutritional status is restored, improvement is possible. However, prolonged deficiency may delay recovery. If genetic hair loss is also present, long-term progression is possible.

  • When does diet-related hair loss start?

    Usually 2–3 months after weight loss. This is due to the delayed response of the hair cycle.

  • Does dieting cause hair loss?

    Extreme low-calorie dieting can trigger telogen effluvium. Protein and iron deficiency in particular shorten the growth phase. Hair loss often begins 2–3 months after dieting.

  • How much does it cost?

    Because treatment methods differ depending on the cause of hair loss and the condition of the hair follicles, exact costs can only be provided after an in-person diagnosis at HairON Clinic. In general, customized programs are designed based on a 3–6 month treatment period, minimizing burden through reasonable pricing and various program options. From precision diagnosis to treatment and recurrence prevention, each stage is systematically designed to focus on what is necessary.

  • Do hair follicle strengthening injections help with postpartum hair loss?

    Most postpartum hair loss is recoverable, and hair follicle strengthening injections may help accelerate recovery speed through improved blood circulation and nutrient supply.

  • Does postpartum dieting affect hair loss?

    If nutritional imbalance occurs due to dieting, deficiencies in iron and protein may worsen hair loss.

  • Can thyroid disorders cause hair loss?

    Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause telogen effluvium. When thyroid symptoms improve, hair loss symptoms often naturally improve as well.

  • Is hair loss after menopause also caused by hormones?

    Yes. Reduced estrogen and relatively increased androgen influence are the main causes.

  • How can postpartum hair loss be distinguished from female pattern hair loss?

    Postpartum hair loss usually appears as sudden overall shedding 2–3 months after childbirth, while female pattern hair loss tends to progress gradually around the part line and crown.

  • Do I need to take hair loss medication for postpartum hair loss?

    Medication options are limited during breastfeeding. You must consult with a specialist before taking any medication.

  • How long does postpartum hair loss last?

    On average, it lasts about 3–6 months, but if it continues longer than 6 months, a detailed examination is recommended. Leaving it untreated while assuming “time will solve it” may allow it to progress long-term into female pattern hair loss.

  • When does postpartum hair loss usually begin?

    It typically begins 2–4 months after childbirth and is caused by the rapid decrease in estrogen hormones.

  • How can Hair Transplant Re-Progression Hair Loss be prevented?

    Prevention requires medication, scalp care, and lifestyle improvements to maintain follicle health and protect existing hair.

  • Is a second transplant sometimes necessary after a hair transplant?

    If sufficient density is not achieved or new gaps appear due to Re-Progression Hair Loss, additional treatment and possibly a second transplant may be considered.

  • Can transplanted hair also fall out again?

    Transplanted hair is relatively resistant to hair loss, but some shedding may occur depending on scalp condition, inflammation, or blood flow issues. In most cases, the main issue is loss of existing hair.
