Hi and welcome to the site. Sorry, I don't use this machine so I am not much help but hopefully someone else will see your query and be able to give you an answer.

I have been using mine for over a year and im not getting hair loss from it .

Maybe have a chat with your gp to see if there is something else going on thats causing it

Hi. Are your straps very tight?. Nurse told me it works like a hovercraft so you shouldn't need it so tight it I pulling your hair out (I was told after complaining it was cutting my ear off!). I am wondering if your mask is the right size. Mine is better since I changed to a smaller one. Have a word with the clinic - they must have come across this problem before. All the best.
