Common Causes of Hair Loss in Women:
Heredity
Women can experience hereditary hair loss. Androgenic alopecia, often referred to as female pattern baldness, typically manifests as diffuse thinning on the crown of the head.
Hormonal Changes
Fluctuations in hormones can play a significant role in hair loss. Events such as pregnancy, childbirth and menopause can lead to hormonal imbalances that affect hair growth.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Poor diet, crash diets, or inadequate intake of essential nutrients can contribute to hair thinning and loss. Nutrients like iron, biotin, and zinc are crucial for healthy hair growth.
Medical Conditions
Certain medical conditions, such as thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases, and scalp infections, can cause hair loss in women. Managing these underlying health issues is essential for addressing hair loss.
Stress
Emotional stress or trauma can lead to a condition called telogen effluvium, where hair follicles enter a resting phase, resulting in noticeable hair shedding.
Hairstyles & Treatments
Frequent use of tight hairstyles (like braids or ponytails) and harsh hair treatments (such as perms or chemical straighteners) can damage hair follicles, leading to hair loss over time.
Hair Loss Treatment Options for Women
Medical Therapy
The medical treatments to stop hair loss and promote hair growth with the highest level of clinical evidence are minoxidil and finasteride. Both are accessible topically or orally when seeing Dr. Steffes.
Hair Supplements
Clinically proven hair supplements fight hair thinning. In 2-3 months, daily use may decrease hair loss. For recommendations and allergy concerns, consult a dermatologist; certain products include fish proteins.
Platelet-Rich Plasma
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) stimulates hair follicles with growth factors from platelets in the blood to encourage thicker, healthier hair. Results are visible in 2-3 months following a series of treatments.
