What is Female Pattern Baldness?

Hair loss in women can be a distressing issue, with a range of factors that can contribute to the problem. These factors include genetic predisposition, stress, medical conditions, and even hair extensions. It is essential to seek professional advice from our hair loss experts who can provide the correct diagnosis and therefore, the correct treatment.

One of the most common causes of hair loss in women is Androgenetic Alopecia, which presents as diffuse thinning across the top of the scalp, progressing downwards. Women typically experience this type of hair loss from their thirties onwards, although it can sometimes start in the early twenties.

Hormonal changes can also cause female hair loss and can occur after pregnancy or due to prolonged hormonal birth control use. In these cases, thinning of the hair is usually temporary, and the hair should return to its normal thickness over time.

What are the Different Types of Hair Loss for Women?

The effects of hair loss in women varies depending on the individual, and can range from barely noticeable to significant, caused by many different factors. Below are some of the main types of hair loss in women to help you identify what type of hair loss you have.

Severe Stress (Telogen Effluvium)

Telogen Effluvium, a common cause of hair loss in women, is typically a temporary condition that results in hair thinning throughout the scalp. This condition is usually triggered by a specific event, such as giving birth, that shocks certain hair follicles and causes them to shift from the growth phase to the resting phase.

This shift typically occurs approximately three months after the event and can also be caused by starting or stopping the use of contraceptives, pregnancy termination, and the use of diet pills or other medications. If you require expert advice on this condition, book your consultation today!

Diffuse Hair Loss (Chronic Telogen Effluvium)

Prolonged hair loss - also known as diffuse hair loss - has several potential causes, some of which include stress, medication side-effects, anaemia, and thyroid problems. To effectively treat this condition, it is important to focus on addressing the underlying causes of hair loss.

Failure to address the root of the problem may result in worsening conditions. Therefore, it is vital to examine and treat any medical issues that potentially lead to this type of hair loss.

Alopecia Areata

Alopecia is a condition characterised by patchy hair loss that can emerge suddenly, causing bald circular patches. Usually triggered by an autoimmune disease, alopecia occurs when the immune system wrongly identifies healthy cells as foreign substances, causing it to attack hair follicles.

While patches of hair loss can surface anywhere on the head, they can quickly advance to more severe cases that can cause total hair loss of the scalp and body. As a result, seeking treatment earlier is crucial for hair growth success.

Traction Alopecia:

Traction Alopecia is a type of hair loss that occurs due to continuous and excessive tension being applied to the hair roots, such as the overuse of tight braids, hair extensions and weaves. The consistent pressure on the hair follicles ultimately leads to damage that manifests in hair loss around the hairline and temples, with only “fluffy” hairs remaining on the scalp.

Consistent use of a heavy hairpiece on the same area of the head could also possibly result in this form of female hair loss. While the condition is predominantly seen in women, it can affect men as well.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects up to between 4% and 20% of women globally. This condition causes hormonal imbalances in the body, specifically affecting the endocrine levels.

Women with PCOS typically have increased levels of androgens, including testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Elevated levels of DHT can cause hair growth to stop completely as it attaches to hair follicles, leading to female pattern baldness.

What are the Signs of Female Pattern Baldness to Look Out For?

If you think you might be experiencing female hair loss, there are a few different signs that indicate the problem to help you identify whether you may need hair loss treatment, including:

Thinning hair particularly on the crown or hairline
Hair shedding after shock, like childbirth
Widening hair parting
Hair falling out in patches or clumps
Hair loss on other areas of the body such as the eyelashes or eyebrows

In order for hair loss treatment to offer the best results, it is important to act fast. Este Medical Group offers a variety of treatments to help you start your journey towards thick and healthy hair growth.

Here at Este Medical, we offer a variety of revolutionary hair loss treatments in Kenya that is clinically proven to help restore strong and healthy hair.

Our FUE Hair Transplant procedure is a truly innovative hair loss treatment that utilises a state-of-the-art technique to restore natural-looking hair with minimal downtime. The treatment works by precisely and painlessly extracting the hairs from the donor area of the scalp and transferring them to the thinning or balding areas for thicker and fuller hair.

We also offer non-surgical hair loss treatment, such as our Laser Hair Regrowth Therapy, which helps to stimulate hair growth using low-level laser therapy (LLLT). The treatment is both FDA-approved and non-invasive and works to increase blood flow to the hair follicles to encourage healthier, thicker and fuller hair.

Is my hair falling out due to lack of blood flow to the scalp?

If you are experiencing female hair loss, it is possible that it is due to lack of blood flow to the scalp, as this is what helps to stimulate hair follicles. Increasing blood flow to this area has been proven to help improve hair thickness and growth rate.
