Women’s Enemy; Hair Loss

A woman’s best friend, her hair, and her enemy when it falls, hair loss. It’s not surprising to see many women annoyed by their hair falling off nowadays. With the more common causes like aging, illness, stress, and certain medications, the lifestyle involving over-styling, use of chemicals, and pollution adds to the increasing hair loss in women. Female baldness is the most common type of hair loss in women. Hair thinning is different in females than that of male pattern baldness. Symptoms seen in female pattern baldness:

• Hair mostly thins on the top and crown area of the scalp and starts with the widening through the center part of the hair.
• Hair loss progresses to near or total baldness like in men.

Though hair fall mild or extensive becomes a matter of embarrassment due to visible baldness, however, no skin sores or itching is seen on the scalp.

Female Hair Loss Treatment

Medication

The only medicine approved by the US FDA to treat pattern baldness in females as well as males is minoxidil. The medicine may stimulate the growth of hair in some but can control hair loss in most men and women.

Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a procedure wherein a cocktail of essential vitamins is boosted in the treatment area to stimulate blood circulation which leads to hair regrowth. It works for most of the patients but may not work for all.

Hair transplant

Hair transplanting using the latest FUE technique can extensively help natural hair regrowth by transplanting each follicular unit and uprooting new healthy hair extracted from the rear scalp or areas on the body like the beard, chest, etc. At Dermalife we only use high-precision instruments and the latest techniques for an efficient hair transplant in Delhi.
