Many people are effraid to start the treatment because they think that they will lose their hairs because of that.
Fortunaletly it's not the case.
Accutane (the stronger) causes temporary hair shedding (effluvium telogene BUT never MPB) because :
- Too much A vitamin in your body as it's oral treatment
- It also makes your scalp dry so it disturbs your scalp balance
However it doesn't happen with topical Tretinoin. Your body won't absorb A vitamin like it does with oral treatment, it will be a lot less.
One of my friend (and his mother) use tretinoin for 2 years and I can tell you that my friend uses A LOT of product. He litteraly finishs a Tretinoin tube in 2 weeks. He got a gorgeous skin and still has thick hairs. Absolutely no hairloss or shedding happened. Same for his mother.
There's reddit people who claim that they lose their hairs during the treatment. Yes, however it doesn't mean that Tretinoin is the factor : many factors are possibles. A post pregnant woman will shed a lot of hairs no mater if she takes Tretinoin or not.
