Hair loss is one of the possible side effects of Axotret (isotretinoin), which can cause the scalp to dry out and the hair to weaken. This is usually a temporary effect, and after the end of the therapy, the hair usually grows back.
To alleviate hair loss during the treatment, it is worth using gentle, moisturizing shampoos and avoiding alcohol-based rubs, which can further dry out the scalp. Trichological peels with a mild enzymatic effect, which cleanse the scalp and improve microcirculation, can also be helpful, e.g.:
Bioderma Nodé – a mild moisturizing shampoo designed for sensitive and dry skin.
La Roche-Posay Kerium Extra Gentle – a gentle shampoo for sensitive skin, moisturizing and soothing irritations.
Vichy Dercos Ultra Soothing – a shampoo that soothes, moisturizes and strengthens the hair.
Additionally, biotin supplementation at a dose of about 10 mg per day can reduce hair loss and improve hair condition during isotretinoin therapy. In the case of severe symptoms, it is worth consulting the dermatologist in charge of the treatment, who can advise further treatment, e.g.:
