Hair Loss in Women: Causes and Treatment Options

Hair loss isn’t just a men’s issue—millions of women experience it too. In fact, nearly 40% of women notice visible hair thinning by the time they reach age 50. Whether it’s a few strands on the pillow or a widening part, hair loss can deeply impact self-confidence and emotional well-being. At KALON Cosmetic Clinics, we believe that understanding the root causes and exploring advanced treatment options can empower women to reclaim their confidence.

What Causes Hair Loss in Women?

Hair loss in women can occur for a variety of reasons. Unlike male-pattern baldness, which usually follows a specific pattern, female hair loss often appears as diffuse thinning across the scalp. Here are some common causes:

1. Hormonal Imbalances

• Thyroid disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and menopause can lead to hormonal shifts that impact the hair cycle.
• Post-pregnancy hair loss (telogen effluvium) is common due to rapid hormonal changes.

2. Stress and Emotional Trauma

• Physical or emotional stress can push hair follicles into a resting phase, causing excessive shedding.

3. Nutritional Deficiencies

• Lack of iron, vitamin D, biotin, and protein can weaken hair roots and slow growth.

4. Genetics

• Female pattern hair loss (FPHL), also called androgenetic alopecia, can be inherited and usually worsens with age.

5. Medical Conditions and Medications

• Autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata, or side effects from medications like chemotherapy, can lead to hair loss.

6. Hairstyling Practices

• Frequent use of tight hairstyles, heat styling, and chemical treatments may cause traction alopecia and damage hair follicles over time.

Treatment Options Available at KALON Cosmetic Clinics

Thanks to advances in medical aesthetics, women now have access to a range of non-surgical and minimally invasive solutions for hair restoration.

1. PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

PRP involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting it into the scalp.
✅ Stimulates hair follicles
✅ Improves thickness and density
✅ Natural and safe treatment with minimal downtime

Ideal For: Women experiencing thinning hair or early-stage hair loss.

2. Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

Also known as red light therapy, this non-invasive treatment uses laser light energy to improve cellular activity in the scalp.
✅ Enhances blood flow to hair follicles
✅ Helps reduce inflammation and prolong hair growth phase
✅ Painless and can be done in multiple sessions

Ideal For: Women with diffuse hair thinning or in combination with other therapies.

3. Hair Transplants (FUE or FUT)

Hair transplant surgery can be a long-term solution for women with significant thinning or bald patches.
✅ FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Extracts individual follicles for natural placement.
✅ FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant): Transplants a strip of scalp with healthy follicles.
✅ Permanent results with fuller hair in targeted areas

Ideal For: Women with stable hair loss patterns and good donor hair availability.

4. Scalp Microneedling + Growth Serums

Microneedling creates micro-injuries on the scalp to stimulate collagen and boost absorption of serums.
✅ Stimulates follicle regeneration
✅ Pairs well with topical or PRP treatments
✅ Improves scalp health

Holistic Tips to Support Hair Health

Alongside treatments, simple lifestyle changes can also support healthy hair:

• Eat a nutrient-rich diet with iron, protein, and healthy fats
• Use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos
• Avoid excessive heat styling and harsh chemicals
• Practice stress-reducing techniques like yoga or meditation

When to Seek Professional Help?

If you’re experiencing:

• Sudden or patchy hair loss
• Increased shedding for more than 3 months
• Noticeable thinning at the crown or temples

It’s time to consult a specialist. Early diagnosis improves the success rate of treatments.
