Hair loss and skin changes after pregnancy are extremely common. Hormonal shifts, stress, sleep deprivation, and nutritional changes all affect how your hair and skin behave in the months after giving birth.
At Dr MT Clinic, we regularly see women concerned about postpartum hair shedding, thinning, acne, dull skin, and pigmentation and help guide recovery safely and realistically.
Postpartum Hair Loss
Postpartum hair loss (telogen effluvium) usually begins 2–4 months after delivery and is caused by falling oestrogen levels. Shedding can be dramatic but is usually temporary.
We assess whether factors such as iron levels, thyroid function, or scalp health may be contributing, and offer doctor-led treatments such as PRP, polynucleotides and microneedling-based scalp therapies where appropriate to support regrowth.
Postpartum Skin Changes
Common concerns include acne, sensitivity, dryness, pigmentation, and tired-looking skin. Postpartum skin is often depleted rather than “aged”.
We focus on skin barrier repair, hydration, and skin quality, using treatments such as skin boosters, microneedling, and tailored medical-grade skincare when appropriate.
Breastfeeding and Safety
Treatment plans are always adapted for women who are breastfeeding, with safety as the guiding priority.
Final Note
Postpartum hair and skin changes usually improve with time, but supportive treatment can help recovery and confidence.
If you’re concerned about postpartum hair loss or skin changes, Dr MT Clinic offers medical assessment and evidence-based treatment options.
