Take Control of Your Hair Health
Hair Loss from Weight Loss Medication – How MHR Clinic Can Help
Losing weight should boost your confidence, not cause you to lose your hair.
At MHR Clinic, we help men and women across the UK who are experiencing hair loss from weight loss medications such as Wegovy, Mounjaro, Rybelsus, Ozempic, Tirzepatide, and Retatrutide.
These breakthrough medications can help transform your health — but for many users, they can also cause unexpected hair shedding and thinning. MHR Clinic provides proven treatments to restore your hair and confidence.
Why Hair Loss Happens on Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Similar Medications
When you take GLP-1 and GIP weight loss medications such as Wegovy (semaglutide), Mounjaro (tirzepatide), or Rybelsus, your body undergoes rapid metabolic changes. These changes, along with reduced calorie and nutrient intake, can lead to temporary hair loss, medically known as telogen effluvium.
Rapid or extreme weight loss
Endocrine changes
Reduced protein and vitamin intake
Iron, zinc, biotin, or vitamin D deficiency
Hormonal fluctuations and stress

How MHR Clinic Restores Hair Affected by Weight Loss Medication
At MHR Clinic, our experts combine advanced medical science with tailored, non-surgical and surgical treatments to help you recover from hair loss related to Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, and other weight loss drugs.
Specialist Hair Loss Medication
We offer proven treatments such as Finasteride and Minoxidil, designed to stabilise shedding and encourage regrowth — safely used alongside most weight loss medications under clinical supervision.
Nutritional and Vitamin Support
Weight loss can deplete essential nutrients. MHR specialists can identify and correct deficiencies in biotin, iron, vitamin D, and other vital elements to promote hair health and strength.
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
This light-based therapy stimulates follicles, boosts blood flow, and supports healthy regrowth. It’s ideal for medication-induced shedding.
Hair Transplant Surgery (FUE & FUT)
For more permanent thinning, our FUE and FUT transplant procedures performed by expert UK surgeons can restore natural, lasting density.
Hair Loss in Women Using Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Rybelsus
Women using weight loss injections or oral medications often report diffuse hair thinning due to hormonal and nutritional shifts.
At MHR Clinic, we design discreet, holistic plans that target female hair loss at every level — from scalp health to internal balance — helping restore volume and strength.
Hair Loss in Men Taking Ozempic, Tirzepatide, or Retatrutide
For men, these medications can accelerate androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) or trigger sudden shedding.
Our men’s hair restoration specialists use diagnostic analysis to identify the cause and implement the most effective combination of medication, PRP, or transplantation to maintain hairline and coverage.
Why Rapid Weight Loss Can Trigger Hair Shedding
Rapid or significant weight loss — especially when induced by weight-loss medications — often acts as a trigger for a form of hair loss called Telogen Effluvium (TE).
-
Hair growth cycles get disrupted. Normally, hair follicles move through growth (anagen), rest (telogen) and shedding phases in a balanced way. When the body undergoes stress — nutritional, hormonal or metabolic — a disproportionate number of follicles can prematurely shift into the telogen (resting) phase. Weeks or months later, this results in noticeable shedding.
-
Nutritional deficits play a key role. In many cases, weight-loss medication reduces appetite or caloric intake, which can lead to lower intake of proteins, iron, zinc, biotin and other micronutrients essential for healthy hair. Hair follicles are among the most rapidly dividing cells in the body — when nutrition drops, hair health often suffers first.
-
Hormonal and metabolic shifts. Losing weight quickly can alter hormone levels, insulin sensitivity and metabolic balance. Such fluctuations may disturb the hair-growth cycle, particularly if someone is genetically predisposed to pattern hair loss.
-
Stress on the body. Rapid weight loss — plus lifestyle changes that often accompany it — can be stressful physically and mentally. Stress, in turn, is one of the best-documented triggers for hair shedding.
