Female Hair Loss

For women, hair is closely tied to their overall appearance, which is why they take great care of it through various methods, such as salon visits, specialized shampoos, oils, etc.

However, hair loss can occur and pose a problem for women. This happens when a woman loses more than 150 hairs in a single day.

Certain periods in a woman’s life, such as adolescence, the postpartum period, and menopause, can cause more significant hair loss, so diagnosis must be made carefully by a dermatologist-dermatosurgeon.

  • Causes of Female Hair Loss

    • Genetic predisposition

  • Treatment Options for Female Hair Loss:

    Every woman is different, so the skin along with the hair follicles may react differently to each treatment. Combined with the various hormones related to female hair loss, the treatment becomes fully personalized.

    Today, there are medical treatments that can delay, prevent, and address female hair loss, especially when it is in the early stages.

    • 2% Minoxidil: Helps in hair regrowth with quick results.
    • Spironolactone, Cimetidine, Cyproterone acetate, and Ethinylestradiol: Treatments that women can choose to inhibit hair loss and stimulate the regrowth of new hair.
    • Laser – Hair Regeneration: Whether the hair loss is diffuse or patchy, blood flow to the scalp increases with the use of laser.
      It is based on the philosophy of photobiotherapy, resulting in increased hair length and diameter. Results will begin to show in less than two months after completing the treatment.
    • Mesotherapy: Once the type of hair loss is identified, the appropriate multivitamin medications are selected and injected into the problem areas. Results are visible after 8 months, with no side effects.
