Recently, trichologists have noticed another problem - after coronavirus, many people have experienced itching, burning, tingling in the scalp, and as a result, hair loss. “This is primarily faced by those who have suffered a coronavirus infection with a high temperature reaction, patients with severe forms of pneumonia, as well as those who have required hospitalization. There are several explanations here: there is a theory according to which increased hair loss occurs directly from the action of the virus, since at this time the immune system is very reactive and reacts with a hyperresponse, releasing a large number of pro-inflammatory mediators, this turns out to be stressful for the hair and such hair ends up in the resting phase ahead of time. Thus, many hairs are in the resting phase at the same time. This phase usually lasts several months. The second theory is that coronavirus infection leads to the formation of microthrombi. They can be in the microchannel of the hair follicle. This is why hair does not receive enough blood supply, oxygen and nutrients, which leads to hair loss. A third reason may be medications with a powerful immunosuppressive effect, which can contribute to increased hair loss. It is possible to check whether the patient really suffers from excessive hair loss only by consulting a trichologist. For these purposes, two tests are carried out: the first is trichoscopy to determine the condition of the hair and scalp at the moment, the second is a phototrichogram, which consists of two stages that allow you to assess the ratio of hair in the growth phase and the loss phase,” explains Vladimir Vavilov, trichologist, dermatovenerologist, oncologist GMS Clinic.
Active components:
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
is responsible for the tone of capillaries, so when there is not enough vitamin C, blood microcirculation is disrupted, and hair that lacks nutrition may begin to fall out.
Vitamin E (tocopherol)
affects the nutrition of hair follicles. It keeps the skin healthy and is responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood. With a lack of vitamin E, hair begins to fall out.
Magnesium
participates in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, promotes the expansion of blood vessels, improving hair nutrition, restores elasticity, and gives the hair noticeably more volume.
Iron
The main biological function of iron is participation in oxidative processes and oxygen transport. Due to a lack of iron, hair begins to split, fade and fall out. Iron deficiency is the most common cause of hair loss in women.
Beta-carotene (vitamin A)
prevents the formation of dandruff, regulates the function of the sebaceous glands of the scalp, promotes growth, prevents hair fragility and loss. Therefore, a lack of vitamin A causes dry and flaky skin, brittle and dull hair.
B1 (thiamine)
plays an important role in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. For hair, a lack of thiamine in the body results in particularly brittle hair and a dull, unattractive color.
B9 (folic acid)
is an important factor in cell reproduction, thereby promoting hair growth. The combined administration of folic acid with iron ions improves hematopoietic processes.
Selenium
This is one of the most unique elements.
For example, for rapid hair growth, which slows down in winter, “building material” is needed and its rapid delivery to the places where it is needed. It is selenium (together with calcium) that ensures this process. Cystine
is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is part of the keratin protein, the main component of hair. Improves the condition of the scalp, activates regeneration processes.
Zinc
controls the secretion of male sex hormones, an excess of which provokes hair loss. Zinc also regulates the activity of the sebaceous glands. Therefore, this trace element is very important for hair health.
B2 (riboflavin)
participates in metabolic processes and plays an important role in redox reactions. With a lack of vitamin B2, the hair quickly becomes oily at the roots, and the ends of the hair become dry.
B6 (pyridoxine)
promotes the absorption of protein and fat, the proper synthesis of nucleic acids that prevent aging. Its deficiency can be expressed in the form of itching, a feeling of dry scalp, and, as a result, dandruff.
Silicon (found in nettle extract)
an important biogenic element that promotes the production of elastin and collagen, which give hair elasticity and strength; promote hair growth.
Vitamin D3
promotes calcium absorption, protects against skin infections, ultraviolet radiation and improves hair condition, making it smooth and shiny.
Biotin,
This substance is called the beauty vitamin: thanks to the presence of sulfur in it, the skin becomes smooth, the hair is lush, and the nails are transparent. A lack of biotin can cause dandruff, seborrhea, and impaired nail growth.
Chromium
one of the minerals necessary for healthy hair growth. Maintains normal blood sugar levels. Reduces blood cholesterol levels. Provides bone strength. Increases the body's energy capabilities.
B12 (cyanocobalamin)
directly involved in cell division. Its deficiency not only leads to brittle hair, itching, dry scalp, and dandruff, but can also cause alopecia areata (hair loss).
Result: the components of the complex provide hair follicles with the necessary elements for healthy growth and development, reduce hair loss, fragility and electrification, and have an antioxidant and general strengthening effect on the body.
When should you go to a trichologist?
You should contact a trichologist if you had problems with your hair before the coronavirus and if your hair loss lasted for several months. “If we talk about seasonal hair loss, it does not require special treatment. This is a natural process that regresses on its own. As for post-Covid hair loss, we are trying to stabilize the condition and help patients. It is clear that “acute” hair loss, as a rule, goes away on its own, but this is a huge stress for our hair. Therefore, recovery may take 6–8 months. The doctor will select the appropriate treatment, these could be vitamin complexes, and it is also possible to prescribe mild growth stimulants externally,” notes Vavilov.
Alerana®
Do not apply the drug to other parts of the body.
If you applied the product using your fingertips, wash your hands thoroughly after treating your scalp. Apply ALERANA® only to dry scalp. There is no need to wash your hair before applying the drug. If you wash your hair before using the drug, you must dry your hair and scalp. Hair washing is allowed no less than 4 hours after applying the drug.
Hairspray and other hair care products can be used while using ALERANA®. Before applying hair care products, you must first apply ALERANA® and wait until the treated area of skin is completely dry. There is no evidence that hair coloring, perming or using hair softeners can in any way reduce the effectiveness of the drug. However, to prevent possible scalp irritation, you must ensure that the product is completely rinsed from the hair and scalp before using these chemicals. You should not apply the drug within 24 hours after using any chemicals (after perm and/or dyeing, including dyeing with natural dyes - henna/basma, etc.). The drug will not be effective when used: with a hair dryer after applying the drug to the scalp; hair care products that can cause scarring and deep burns to the scalp; hair care techniques that require pulling hair firmly away from the scalp (such as tight braids (braiding) or ponytails).
ALERANA® should only be applied to healthy scalp. It should not be used for inflammation, infection, irritation, soreness of the skin, or simultaneously with other medications applied to the scalp.
You should not use the drug ALERANA® in cases of sudden hair loss, focal alopecia, when alopecia develops after childbirth, in case of baldness caused by taking medications, poor diet (iron deficiency, vitamin A), as a result of styling hair in “tight” hairstyles , and also in cases where the cause of hair loss is unknown.
Accidental ingestion of the drug may result in serious adverse cardiac events. Therefore, this drug should be stored out of the reach of children.
Before starting treatment with ALERANA®, patients should undergo a general examination, including the collection and study of a medical history. The doctor must make sure that the scalp is healthy.
Minoxidil in small quantities can be absorbed through the skin, and therefore there is a risk of developing systemic side effects, such as water and salt retention, generalized and local edema, pericardial effusion, pericarditis, pericardial tamponade, tachycardia, angina pectoris, increased orthostatic hypotension, caused by certain antihypertensive drugs, such as guanethidine and its derivatives. The use of ALERANA® by patients with arterial hypertension receiving treatment with guanethidine, or guanethidine derivatives, or minoxidil is possible only under medical supervision. Patients should undergo periodic examinations to identify possible signs of systemic side effects of minoxidil. If systemic side effects occur, such as decreased blood pressure or chest pain, rapid heartbeat, weakness or dizziness, sudden unexplained weight gain, swelling of the hands or feet, or severe skin reactions, stop using ALERANA® and consult a doctor . To treat edema and fluid retention in the body, diuretics can be prescribed if necessary. To eliminate tachycardia and angina pectoris, beta-blockers can be prescribed. Patients with a history of cardiovascular disease should be warned that treatment with ALERANA® may cause an exacerbation of these diseases.
ALERANA® contains ethyl alcohol, which can cause inflammation and irritation of the eyes. If the drug gets on sensitive surfaces (eyes, irritated skin, mucous membranes), it is necessary to rinse the area with plenty of cold water.
Home care
It is important to understand that it is impossible to stop the loss of hair that has entered the dormant phase. And the main task is to stimulate the growth of new hair. In order to return the hair follicles to the active phase, choose shampoos, lotions and balms that stimulate hair growth. Many experts advise using scalp scrubs several times a week, before shampooing - they stimulate blood circulation and have an exfoliating effect.

Vitamins against hair loss and various food supplements should not be prescribed for yourself - it is better to contact a specialist and select the necessary microelements and minerals. Also pay attention to your diet - include olive oil, nuts, avocados, fish, turmeric and ginger.
Avoid hairstyles that are too tight—while a high bun always looks cool, it can put extra stress on your strands. But a scalp massage, on the contrary, will help increase blood circulation and activate metabolic processes.
Salon and medical procedures
There are cases when home treatments and remedies against hair loss no longer help. Then there is a reason to turn to professionals. Among salon procedures, the most famous are mesotherapy, plasma therapy and micrografting.
With mesotherapy, minerals, amino acids and vitamins necessary for the health of the hair roots are introduced into the scalp using injections. This procedure not only prevents hair loss, but also stimulates new hair growth and strengthens it. During plasma therapy, platelet mass or plasma is isolated from the patient’s own venous blood and injected into the affected area, which helps to launch the body’s reserves and regeneration. Micrografting is a procedure in which healthy hair is transplanted into problem areas.
