About Women’s Hair Loss

Many people mistakenly believe that hair loss is a strictly male disease. In fact, around 40% of women experience hair loss significant enough to be noticably visible. It can be devastating, affecting their self-esteem, self-image, and emotional well-being. Those negative effects can, in turn, affect other aspects of their lives, from their interpersonal relationships to their performance at work.

Women face different societal challenges than men when it comes to hair loss. Society has almost forced women to suffer from this harmful condition in silence, ignoring their complaints about their hair loss and how it affects their lives. Because hair loss is not a life-threatening condition, many women are told that they will simply have to deal with hair loss and live with its negative consequences.

The idea that hair loss is not a serious condition is untrue. Because society places such a high value on physical appearance, hair loss is a serious condition with serious consequences. The psychological damage caused by hair loss in women is real and lasting. In fact, it can be as devastating as a disease and can take an emotional toll that in turn affects physical health.

Having a full head of hair is incredibly important to women. And now that we understand that hair loss is not something to be ignored, it is evident that something must be done about it. And something can be done about it. There are treatment options available for women who are suffering from moderate to severe hair loss. The treatments can permanently solve the problem and help women regain their hair and their confidence.

When it comes to treatment options, there are two approaches: surgical or non-surgical. In either case, your hair will begin to regrow quickly, with little recovery time. The treatment methods we offer include:

Non-Surgical

• Propecia, an FDA approved tablet that is taken orally. It stabilizes hair follicles and allows for re-growth of hairs for women with hair loss.
• Rogaine, a topical application that should be applied to the problem area(s) each night.
• Ducray hair products help you maintain a healthy scalp and keep your full head of hair. From dietary supplements to topical treatments, Ducray products are suitable for any hair type and do well to promote hair growth in women.
• Low-level light therapy has been marketed for hair growth. The Hairmax Lasercomb is FDA approved and is part of the treatment process we use to help women regain a full head of hair.

Surgical

Surgical treatment is a great option for people who want to find a permanent solution for hair loss. All of the surgeries we perform are in our office under the direction of experts and a local anesthetic. The length of the surgery will depend on what results you want to achieve and the number of grafts you decide to have transplanted. The two surgical procedures we use are:

• Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) is often referred to as the “strip technique” because it uses follicles from a strip of scalp harvested from the back of your head to supplement the follicles that are not working correctly.
• Follicular unit extraction is a process where follicles are individually harvested from the back and sides of the scalp and implant them into the desired areas (typically the front and top of the scalp).
