Hair Restoration for Women

Changes in the levels of hormones affect hair growth and regeneration in women. After menopause, the estrogen (female hormone) level becomes low and hair follicles become more susceptible to the destructive effect of DHT (dihydro testosterone, the male hormone) leading to increased hair loss. The follicles remain alive but contain only miniaturized hair, but there is always a possibility of re-growth and hair loss restoration for women. This is the reason that female hair loss restoration is usually possible. There are many drugs which are available for female hair loss treatment.

In female balding thinning of hair is seen all over the head, but the frontal hairline is maintained. Widening of the natural part is very much evident. There may be a moderate loss of hair on the crown, but this rarely progresses to total or near baldness as it is seen in men.

Though the typical pattern of female pattern baldness is different from that of male pattern baldness, hair restoration for women is possible through surgical hair restoration in the same way as for men.
