Post-Illness

Post-COVID & Post-Illness Shedding
Investigated.

Severe illness — including COVID-19 — commonly triggers heavy shedding a couple of months later. The shedding is dramatic, but the follicle is almost always still alive.

What this usually looks like

  • Dramatic shedding a few months after illness
  • Fatigue and slow overall recovery
  • Loss of taste or smell in your history
  • Diffuse thinning across the whole scalp

Post-COVID & Post-Illness Shedding looks like several other suspects from the outside — which is why so many people treat the wrong one for years. Your Hair Investigation™ settles it, in private, with Dr. Leola.
