When Stress Is Not Only in Your Head – But Also On Your Head
Life in Israel is full of challenges. The fast-paced lifestyle, changing security situations, work pressure, and the unique Israeli reality often bring with them significant stress. For many of us, this stress doesn’t just affect our mood. Stress leaves a physical mark – in the form of hair loss.
Why Does Stress Cause Hair Loss?
When the body is under stress, it enters a “survival” mode that alters hormonal balance, raises cortisol levels, and reduces blood flow to hair follicles. This process can lead to a condition called Telogen Effluvium – a temporary state where hair follicles enter a resting phase earlier than usual, leading to increased hair shedding.
A Personal Story – A Nova Survivor and the Battle for Her Hair
Liron (a pseudonym), 26, was at the Nova event on that fateful morning. She survived the physical and mental horrors, but two months later, she started noticing a massive amount of hair on her pillow and in the shower. “That was my second shock after everything I went through,” she says. “It was as if my body was reacting belatedly to everything I had experienced.” After consulting with the experienced doctors at PRPclinic, she underwent a series of PRP treatments that helped restore her hair volume and repair what was lost.
Another Story – The Soldier Who Came Home and Found He Was Almost Bald
Itai, 32, returned from a long reserve duty in the North. Between sleepless nights and operational pressures, he didn’t notice anything happening to his hair until his friends began commenting on the receding hairline. “It was a tough moment. I returned from the front, and suddenly, I saw someone else in the mirror.” After extensive research, Itai sought PRGF treatment, which restored growth to the thinning areas of his scalp, bringing back not just his hair – but also his self-confidence.
Hair Loss After Childbirth – A Temporary Phenomenon or a Permanent Change?
Many women experience increased hair loss after childbirth, a phenomenon known as Postpartum Hair Loss. The dramatic hormonal changes after childbirth, combined with the fatigue and stress of caring for a newborn, can lead to significant hair loss. The good news is that in most cases, the hair grows back after a few months. However, for some women, recovery is slower, and here treatments like PRP and PRGF come into play. These treatments can accelerate regeneration and restore the healthy appearance of the hair.
The Impact of Chronic Stress on Hair – And What You Can Do
Chronic stress not only causes hair loss but can also lead to thinning, making hair finer and more brittle, and even premature graying. In many cases, people don’t connect the stressful events they’ve experienced with changes in their hair until the situation is visibly noticeable.
The good news is that advanced treatments can help not only slow down the process but also encourage new hair growth. The advancements in aesthetic medicine today allow us to repair the damage caused by stress and restore vitality to the scalp.

Fortunately, science and medical innovation offer a range of solutions:
- PRP Treatments (Platelet-Rich Plasma) – Injecting platelet-rich plasma into the scalp stimulates new hair growth.
