Stress-induced hair loss can be the result of excessive hair shedding, a condition called telogen effluvium. Stress can increase levels of cortisol in the body, disrupting hair growth. Telogen effluvium can develop as a response to chronic everyday stress or after a traumatic event such as recovery from COVID-19.
Most of the over-the-counter remedies for alopecia or baldness do not treat the root cause of hair loss. New nanozyme-based microneedle patches help improve hair growth in bald spots.
