Hair transplant surgery has been heavily publicised in the media with male celebrities such as footballer Wayne Rooney. However, demand female hair loss treatment has become increasingly popular with women in the UK, taking up around a third of hair transplant patients: numbers are steadily rising. This increase in demand has been partly driven by growing publicity but also by the number of women experiencing hair loss. At Your Hair Doc, we understand that hair loss in women can be extremely upsetting and offer several non-surgical and surgical treatments to address this issue; we are pleased to offer female hair loss treatment.
Female hair loss can occur due to several reasons. Escalating stress levels which can trigger female alopecia (an immunological condition), errant hormones (often unbalanced by continued use of the contraceptive pill), extreme weight loss, anaemia (iron deficiency) and physical damage to the hair and scalp with hair dye, hair extensions, braids and hot irons and straighteners.
Female Hair Loss Treatment – Your Options
Prior to any treatment being advised, you’ll be asked to attend a no obligation consultation with our clinical director and globally renowned hair transplant surgeon Dr. Munir Somji, so that he can assess your condition, medical history and any contributing factors to your hair loss. He will also provide blood tests as well as scalp biopsies if necessary to make his diagnosis. Depending on the results, a non-surgical solution may be available to help to restore the lost hair. If this is not possible, stabilising the hair loss to prepare for possible hair transplant surgery could also be an option.
Female pattern hair loss tends to appear differently than it does for men. Male pattern baldness usually appears along the frontal hairline, temples and the crown of the head, whereas in women, the condition will be spread more diffusely throughout the centre of the scalp behind the hairline. Therefore, treatment must be bespoke and tailor-made to the individual to be successful.
