Understanding Hair Loss in Women
Unlike men, who typically experience localized receding hairlines, female hair loss often presents as diffuse thinning all over the scalp, a widening parting, or sudden, severe shedding in the shower or on the pillow.
At DermaTales, we recognize that female hair loss is rarely just cosmetic; it is often an indicator of internal imbalances. From hormonal fluctuations and thyroid issues to nutritional deficiencies and stress, accurate diagnosis is the critical first step to successful treatment.
Common Types & Causes
Telogen Effluvium
Sudden, diffuse shedding triggered by physical or emotional stress, illness (like post-COVID), crash diets, or childbirth. Hair shifts prematurely into the resting phase.
Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL)
Also known as Androgenetic Alopecia. Characterized by a widening central part and thinning at the crown, often linked to genetics and hormonal sensitivity.
Hormonal & Nutritional
Conditions like PCOS, thyroid disorders, menopause, and deficiencies in Iron, Vitamin D, or B12 drastically impact hair health and density.
Our Diagnostic & Treatment Approach
Comprehensive Blood Panel
We test for thyroid function, iron/ferritin levels, Vitamin D, B12, and specific hormones to uncover internal root causes.
Trichoscopy
A digital microscopic examination of the scalp to look for inflammation, miniaturized hairs, or structural hair shaft defects.
Medical & Supplemental Therapy
Correcting deficiencies with targeted supplements and prescribing medical topicals (like Minoxidil or peptides) to halt shedding.
Clinical Rejuvenation
Advanced therapies like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or GFC are incredibly effective in women for thickening existing hair and stimulating new growth.
