Hair loss due to chemotherapy

The cytostatic drugs administered during chemotherapy lead to a (usually reversible) loss of scalp hair, depending on the active substances used, dosage and duration of application.

Medication can severely impair the growth of the hair root.

Cytostatic drugs are a group of drugs that inhibit cell growth or cell division and have the side effect of affecting the activity of the hair follicles.

Normally, the hair that has fallen out (usually balding) grows back on its own around 3 months after chemotherapy has been completed. More and more frequently, however, there is a persistent hair growth disorder.

Hair roots are attacked

Today, however, stronger chemotherapies are predominantly used, so that hair loss often cannot be avoided. As a result, growth disorders occur more and more frequently. The hair grows back irregularly, only in patches or diffusely. Many sufferers continue to suffer from growth disorders for years after chemotherapy.

The use of Thymuskin accelerates the regeneration process and supports sustainable, even and natural hair growth.

Typical course

In most cases, the hair falls out completely around 3-5 weeks after the first chemotherapy. In milder cases, hair loss ideally remains moderate.
