Female Hair Loss Examined

Are you a female with hair loss? Wonder what the problem is and what are your options? Learn about female alopecia and treatment.

Hair loss in women can be troubling and often more difficult to deal with than in men. Male hair loss often is often well defined as male pattern baldness. Unfortunately, in females, hair loss is not only difficult to deal with but due to many different reasons. Female baldness, while at times a natural part of aging, is often due to medical conditions. It is important in female hair loss to determine if the cause is a medical condition as treating the problem can often improve the hair loss or at least prevent further loss.

If you are experiencing female hair loss, be sure to see a physician who is experienced in treating people with the condition. Often, a visit to a dermatologist is necessary to rule out medical conditions before simply performing a hair transplant.

In female hair loss, the pattern of alopecia is often difficult to determine so treating the loss is more difficult and must be handled by a surgeon with expertise in treating female baldness.  Female pattern baldness as well as other causes can be treated with hair transplants. Using microfollicular grafting techniques, hair can be harvested from areas with full density and transferred to areas that have less than full density. Caution should be taken though as some causes of loss may continue to produce alopecia even after transplantation. Female pattern baldness, similar to male pattern baldness, can be treated in the exact same way with the same expected results.
