Hair Loss in Women

Hair loss in women can occur based on several reasons such as age, genetics, hormone imbalances, medical conditions, stress, eating disorders or hair care practices. Also, in the phases of pregnancy or menopause, it is likely for women to have hair loss. It is important to consult a dermatologist to determine the main reason for hair loss.

It is a frustrating situation but especially in recent years, this problem is solved on a large scale. Also, there are multiple ways of solving this problem. Besides medical treatments, there are also surgical and herbal options.

Treatment of Hair Loss in Women

Generally, medications are preferred for hair loss treatment in women and these include minoxidil, anti-androgens, iron supplement or, not a medication but as a way of treatment, hair transplantation. Minoxidil is a drug for high blood pressure but when applied directly to the scalp, it could promote hair growth.

However, the results are not as satisfactory as other solutions. Anti-androgen is another drug used to treat androgenic alopecia. Another medication option is getting iron supplements as iron deficiency may cause hair loss in some women.

Hair Mesotherapy or PRP Hair Treatment are also other treatments for hair loss in women.

In addition to those medications, hair transplantation promotes hair growth with the more demanding method but with more certain results. During this treatment process, hair follicles are collected and according to the dept and size of the area, hair is transplanted to the desired area. We are using special techniques in hair transplant for women.

Precautions for Hair Loss in Women

Although most of the reasons for hair loss seem hereditary, there is still a number of things you can do to prevent hair loss. Examples of taking precautions for hair loss in women can be avoiding too tight hairstyles such as braids, buns or ponytails.

Also, treating your hair gently while washing, brushing or shaping will work but hair stylers such as straighteners, curling irons, hot oil treatments will damage your hair badly. Protecting your hair from sunlight and other sources of ultraviolet light will be beneficial for you in terms of not having hair loss.

Also, taking care of your diet, eating nutritional foods will promote hair growth as well as using some herbal oils topically on the skull.
