Post-COVID hair loss
Many people after "escape from F0 life" complain about persistent hair loss, especially women. About 25% of post-Covid-19 patients have hair loss problems after 3-6 months of recovery. Cells with AEC2 receptors on the surface such as in the lungs, bones, nerves, heart, adipose tissue and especially hair germ cells (located deep below the scalp) are "delicious prey" to attract the SARS virus. CoV-2. When attacked by a virus, the hair germ cells will quickly be damaged and weakened, making the resting phase - waiting for shedding and shedding to come faster. When infected with Covid-19, many people still experience typical symptoms of fever. According to the AAD (American Association of Dermatology), fever is also a cause that causes many hairs to transition to a waiting period for shedding (this phase lasts about 3 months on average), then many hairs will fall out at the same time. a moment. This form of hair loss is called telogen effluvium.
In addition, a lot of hair loss during the epidemic can also be caused by other health problems such as stress, prolonged anxiety, poor nutrition... These are all leading risk factors for hair loss. that many people encounter. Statistical results in the US show that the rate of people with hair loss increased by more than 400% during the epidemic outbreak (from July to August 2020).
However, the good news is that hair loss after Covid-19 infection is likely to recover on its own if the patient is less worried and takes proper care of their hair - Dr. Le Thuy Tuoi said.
First of all, each person needs to relieve stress and psychological pressure after Covid-19, spend a lot of time resting, exercise regularly but don't overdo it, keep an optimistic spirit by avoiding negative information. pole. The diet needs to be diverse and full of essential nutrients for hair such as protein (found in meat, fish, eggs, milk...), B vitamins (found in eggs, milk, chicken, plants, etc.) legumes...), vitamin H (found in peanuts, whole grains, cauliflower, broccoli...), omega-3s (mackerel, salmon, herring, tuna...) .
At the same time, to protect hair from the outside, it is recommended to use shampoo suitable for hair and scalp, protect hair when exposed to sunlight and harmful substances, especially limit styling. These notes are not only for the group of F0 who have recovered from the disease, but also for those who are healthy but affected by the pandemic.
In particular, in addition to external care measures, each person should supplement with specialized nutrients to promote hair germ cells to grow from the inside. When the hair germ cells are healthy, the ability to resist harmful factors is also better, the hair will fall less and soon grow back stronger - Dr. Le Thuy Tuoi said.
Through a long time of research, American scientists have discovered that Cynatine and many other precious essences have the ability to affect hair germ cells of both sexes. Specifically:
CLI-β formula (combination of Cynatine and Black Cohosh, Horsetail ...) helps to balance female endocrine nerves, nourish hair germ cells, supplement necessary nutrients, thereby reducing hair loss, helping new hair grow strong, thick and smooth for women.
CLI-α formula (combination of Cynatine and Saw Palmetto, Eurycoma Longifolia…) helps to balance male neuroendocrine, promotes hair growth, helps hair grow back for men.
The nutritional ingredients in the above two formulas are derived from nature, have been proven to be highly safe and effective in helping to reduce hair loss - increase hair growth for both men and women. Consistently supplementing these nutrients and combining external care measures, hair will grow back faster, stronger.
