Is my TE resolving? Is it possible that I still have TE and that all of my hair is still getting pushed into telogen phase?

Question

Struggling with TE since February 2023. Ever since losing about 300-600 hairs a day continuously. Possible trigger: stopping birth control. I have lots of new hair and my hair grows fast. However, I noticed that I'm shedding my new growth. Lots of hairs between 3 and 10 cm. Trichoscopy showed no sign atm for AGA. Hair that sheds is thick. Even though I'm shedding still about the same amount, does it mean that it is resolving? Or is my hair still being pushed into telogen phase?

Hello Straightforward909657! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Shah Facial Plastics. I am sorry to hear this! Based on your concerns, I recommend trying treatments with Exosomes injections in order to stimulate the hair follicles to grow and thicken the hair. I highly recommend scheduling an in-person consultation in order to better assess the areas of concern and discuss an appropriate treatment plan to help achieve your aesthetic goals.

If you are shedding the same amount, then no a TE would not be resolving yet. Be sure to see a dermatology specialist for a proper review. You are wise ti keep track of evolution of AGA. TE may take 6-9 months to resolve (assuming you found the trigger). If you have not found the trigger it will keep going. A TE resolves when shedding returns to normal 50-70 hairs per day.
