How to Protect Your Hair While Losing Weight: Expert Tips for Healthy Hair During Weight Loss
I know my patients’ wellness journey is about more than just the number on the scale – it’s about their confidence, vitality, and overall well-being. Some of my patients using GLP-1 or GIP medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound have noticed a frustrating side effect: hair loss. I want to reassure you that if you, too, are experiencing hair loss due to using semaglutide or tirzepatide injectable medications to manage type 2 diabetes and for weight loss, you are not alone. But don’t worry – there are solutions to help address this issue.
Why Hair Loss Happens During Weight Loss
Medications that suppress appetite can lead to nutrient deficiencies, hormonal shifts, and metabolic changes that can contribute to hair thinning or shedding. While high-quality commercial hair support vitamin and mineral supplements are helpful, they’re not always strong enough to restore lost hair by themselves. Hair loss is often the result of multiple factors, making a thoughtful, personalized approach to treatment necessary.
A Personalized Approach to Hair Wellness
At Novel U Wellness, we offer personalized hair restoration plans tailored to meet the unique needs of our patients. Hair serum treatments are often paired with specialized laser technology to stimulate angiogenesis (new capillary growth) and enhance blood flow to the scalp, creating an ideal environment for stronger, thicker hair growth. Combined microneedling treatment stimulates hair follicles and promotes regrowth.
DE|RIVE Hair Wellness Serums
The DE|RIVE Hair Wellness Serums are a popular part of the Novel U Wellness hair restoration process. DE|RIVE Hair Wellness Serums are specifically designed to target the scalp and hair follicles. This addresses the impact of stressful environmental factors and delivers the essential nutrients that the scalp needs. The proprietary plant-based secretory factors in the system support the production of Cytokeratin-15, a key protein integral to hair growth.
