Do Q Sera And Hairbless Tablets Cause Paradoxical Reactions In Some People?

Hi! I am 20 and am having bad hair fall. My scalp is starting to show so I got it checked by a derma, who prescribed Qsera lotion along with hairbless tablets, and the hair fall got worse. I have no idea whether the increase in hair fall is due to hairbless or Qsera. It is scary to even comb my hair. Please help.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
hi. i have read your question and understand your concern.

there are 3 phases in hair cycle. when a hair dies it enters telogen phase, but it doesn't fall off immediately. telogen hairs stay in the follicle and fall off after approximately 2-3 months.

so when you start a treatment for hair regrowth, new hairs emerge from the roots. these new hairs displace the already dead telogen hairs which are just lying there. this leads to increased hair shedding that patients observe.

it is actually a good prognostic sign. this means that new hairs are growing. this is just a transitory phase. you should continue with your treatment. once all the telogen hairs fall off you will find a steady improvement in your hair density.

hope this was helpful. for any further queries please get back to us. thanks.
