How long does hair loss typically last when taking weight loss injections?

Hair loss from weight loss injections typically starts 2-3 months after beginning treatment and lasts a few weeks to several months. It is usually temporary, with regrowth occurring as the body stabilises after weight loss. In cases linked to telogen effluvium, resolution often happens within 3-4 months.

Key points:

  • Hair loss is typically temporary and reversible.
  • It often begins 2-3 months after starting injections.
  • Shedding lasts several weeks to a few months.
  • Regrowth starts once the body adapts to weight changes.
