Question

Can 4 years of hair loss due to vitamin D deficiency be reversed once treated ? My dermatologist says it is reversible and all my hair will grow back but I've been reading on some of these questions that it may not be reversible?

Emrah Cinik, MD · Answer

it matters how much hair you lost beacuse of the missing vitamin D. İf the ratio of the lost hair is on the high degrees, than even if you have a treatment the wole hair might not come back.

John Peter Cole, MD · Answer

It is highly unlikely that Vitamin D intake at this point will restore your hair. However you should take a high quality supplement if you have a vitamin D deficiency.

Hi, Vitamin D acts on the hair follicle to regulate gene expression to influence hair growth extending anagen phase and inhibiting catagen phase you can certainly take vitamin d to prevent further loss, you would need to get your blood drawn to see your level to determine how much vitamin d supplementation is needed typically 50,000 units once a week for 8 weeks then maintenance. Speak to your doctor first to see if you qualify. As if we could reverse hair loss only time will tell.

The deficiency of vitamin D has been known to cause hair loss. In case, you are still suffering from active hair loss, you should take it to prevent further hair loss along with other medical treatments. Now how many hair will come back because of the previous hair loss, only time will tell.

William Woessner, MD · Answer

Damage from Vitamin D deficiency is often proportional to the deprived deficiency. Make sure your Vitamin D is normal, not too high or not too low. Keep it within normal limits (30-100). Potentially your hair should grow back within 6-8 months, all other factors being normal. Also you could try minoxidil with could be helpful as well.
