Advice on androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium together?

Question

We know that miniaturization happens in the anagen phase,and te shortens, that anagen phase by kicking the hair prematurely into telogen, so if miniaturization without having telogen effluvium and only in people with aga leys say it should have taken 1 year to finish a miniaturization process in a 1 year of anagen phase ,but what if someone had te while they also have aga will shortening that anagen phase by telogen effluvium prematurely by pushing the hair into telogen prematurely will that speed the miniaturization process since miniaturization happens in anagen?

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

The process you're describing involves the miniaturization of hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Telogen effluvium (TE) is a condition where more hair follicles than usual enter the telogen (resting) phase, leading to increased shedding.

In AGA, miniaturization primarily occurs during the anagen (growth) phase. If TE occurs simultaneously, it could theoretically expedite the miniaturization process by prematurely pushing hairs into telogen. However, the relationship between AGA and TE can vary among individuals, and it's a complex interaction influenced by multiple factors.

Best of luck !
