Is your hair loss permanent? Learn about female-pattern hair loss and the different types of treatment options available.
Hair Loss in Women
Women face a special type of hair loss, so it’s no wonder a unique solution is needed. Unlike male pattern baldness, female hair loss occurs in a more diffuse manner that is sometimes harder to detect. With an estimated 20-30 million women affected by hair loss in the United States alone, physicians are increasingly developing technologies and treatment protocols exclusively designed to help women overcome the personal, social, and professional setbacks caused by this traumatic condition.
We’re here to help. Capillus® connects hair loss sufferers to the top hair restoration specialists in the world for evaluation and treatment. Connect to a Capillus physician here. Our network of physicians offers the best and most viable options for women to address their thinning hair. Low-level light therapy (LLLT) provides an alternative for women battling hair thinning that is non-invasive, relatively inexpensive, and efficient to use.
Explore the resources below to learn more about female hair loss, treatment options, and how to choose a treatment protocol that will help you achieve a more youthful, beautiful, and natural head of hair.
Understanding Hair Loss in Women
Hair loss in women can begin at any age, even in teenage years. It may begin slowly and can thin gradually over the scalp at an unnoticeable rate. At times it may be temporary due to a hormonal changes or stress, but other times it could be more permanent, as in cases of hereditary baldness.
In order to effectively restore your hair, it is vital to first understand why hair loss is occurring. Causes of hair loss in women range from genetics to stress, thyroid problems, hormonal changes, traction alopecia, and chemical processing. We urge women to consult with a physician specializing in hair restoration for evaluation and diagnosis. Once an underlying illness is ruled out, in many cases, hair restoration physicians will recommend low-level light therapy as a favorable option for women.
Treatment Options for Female Hair Loss
Traditionally, women have had few viable options to reverse the signs of hair loss. The most popular include the following:
Minoxidil (Rogaine®) is a topical solution that has been prescribed for application twice a day. This is not a very favorable option for many because it only aims to treat the part, and is a messy application process, akin to dying hair at the roots.
Finasteride (generic name for Propecia®), which is a treatment option for men, is not approved for use by women as it has been shown to cause birth defects in children.
Hair transplant surgery is a more expensive but often permanent treatment for female hair loss. If the idea of surgery makes you feel uneasy, you are not alone. Many women hesitate to engage in hair transplant surgery due to the nature of the procedure and the post-operative healing process it entails.
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a sound science that has long been used in various medical fields. Today, devices like Capillus® caps are available to help treat hair loss.
Hair Loss Patterns in Women: Ludwig - Savin Classification
Female pattern baldness progresses in a pattern that is very different from men. Balding or thinning hair in women usually occurs over the entire top of the head whereas men lose their hair in isolated areas like the crown and temple. Genetics play a key role in male hair loss. Other precipitating factors such as hormones can be responsible for the loss of hair in women.
The most common cause of hair loss in women is androgenetic alopecia, which is a hereditary condition. Unlike androgenetic alopecia in men, female pattern baldness rarely results in complete hair loss. Patterns of androgenetic alopecia hair loss in women can vary widely but usually include a diffuse thinning over the entire scalp with variations of areas of more noticeable thinning towards the back, front, and frontal hairline.
