Ozempic & Hair Loss: What You Should Know – and How LUX ~ A Medical Spa Can Help

With the rise of medications like Ozempic® (semaglutide) for weight loss and diabetes management, many patients are seeing dramatic transformations. But alongside the benefits, some are reporting unexpected side effects – including hair loss.

If you’re experiencing thinning or shedding while taking Ozempic, you’re not imagining things – and you’re not alone. At LUX ~ A Medical Spa, we offer GetHairMD™, a physician-directed solution designed to address hair loss at the root. Here’s what you need to know.

Can Ozempic Really Cause Hair Loss?

While Ozempic isn’t directly linked to hair loss in its FDA-approved labeling, many users have reported noticeable shedding. Why?

• Rapid weight loss: Fast and significant weight changes can shock the body, triggering a condition called telogen effluvium, where more hair than usual enters the shedding phase.
• Nutritional deficiencies: Calorie reduction can lead to lower intake of vital nutrients like iron, zinc, and protein-essentials for healthy hair growth.
• Stress on the body: Both emotional and physical stress (including the metabolic shift from weight loss or new medications) can disrupt the hair growth cycle.

According to dermatologists and anecdotal reports, the hair loss is typically temporary, but it can still be distressing-especially when paired with other changes in appearance and energy levels.

What Is Telogen Effluvium?

Telogen effluvium is a common type of hair loss that occurs when a stressor causes hair follicles to prematurely enter the resting (telogen) phase. After a few months, these hairs shed all at once, leading to noticeable thinning or hair falling out in clumps.

Although the condition usually resolves on its own, regrowth can be slow-and not everyone sees a full return to their pre-loss volume. That’s where GetHairMD™ comes in.

How LUX ~ A Medical Spa Can Help with GetHairMD™

LUX ~ A Medical Spa offers GetHairMD™, a non-invasive, science-backed hair restoration system that supports healthy hair regrowth using low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and personalized medical guidance.

How It Works:

LLLT stimulates blood flow and cellular activity in the scalp, “waking up” dormant hair follicles and encouraging natural regrowth. It’s FDA-cleared and clinically proven to be effective for both male and female hair loss-including cases related to stress, hormones, or medications like Ozempic.
