GLP-1s have grown in popularity but an unfortunate side effect seen in both women and men is heavy hair loss.
Why? Two reasons.
First: GLP-1s cause rapid weight loss. This triggers telogen effluvium (TE): stress-related shedding as hair follicles shift from active growth to a resting state. Essentially, the combination of increased body stress and nutrient deficiencies temporarily halts normal hair production. Eventually your hair loss might stabilize and regrow, but this isn’t always the case, and most women prefer to stop hair loss in its tracks rather than watch their hair fall out.
Second: GLP-1s cause rapid skin aging. Your scalp is skin too. Because it’s thinner—similar to the hands and neck—it ages faster than your face. As your scalp thins, it can no longer produce healthy hair, leading to a loss of density and eventual hair loss.
So how do you prevent rapid hair loss? With B5 Dexpanthenol injections.
