What is Female Hair Loss?

For women, it is characterized as significant hair loss beyond the average 50-100 hair strands daily. Some hairs fall out of the hair follicles entirely while others grow, but when the balance is tipped towards the former, this is considered a health issue.

Thinning hair is widely thought of as something that happens to men, but it also affects more than 50% of women. Losing hair usually affects women who have just given birth, are older than age 40, have had chemotherapy, are in menopause, suffer from hereditary hair loss in women, or typically have hairstyles that pull on their hair. Hereditary factors or stress have been shown to contribute to hair loss.

What is Alopecia?

Alopecia is a condition characterized by hair loss, which can affect people of all ages. There are three main types of alopecia, each with distinct characteristics and causes. The first type is Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to patchy bald spots on the scalp or other areas of the body. The second type is Androgenetic Alopecia, often referred to as male or female-pattern baldness. It is a hereditary condition where hair gradually thins and is the most common cause of hair loss among both men and women. Lastly, there’s Cicatricial Alopecia, also known as scarring alopecia, which results in permanent hair loss due to inflammation that damages and scars the hair follicles.

What Causes Female Hair Loss

There are a number of reasons why women experience hair loss, including genetic female pattern hair loss, aging, hormonal changes, iron deficiency, medications, thyroid disease, weight loss, and menopause. Female pattern balding is what brings many women to The Woodlands office in North Houston office for hair-replacement services.

Determining the cause of hair loss for women will help us determine whether your hair will continue to grow thin or fall out quickly or gradually. It will also help us decide how to treat hair loss to help it grow again, whether it will regrow on its own, or if it will require immediate attention to stop permanent hair loss.

Female pattern baldness is characterized by a progression of hair loss or thinning from the middle of the scalp outwards. Dr. Rivela can restore your hair density and volume using NeoGraft FUE method.

Symptoms of Female Hair Loss

The most common signs of hair loss for women include:

  • Noticeable increase in the amount of hair falling on the floor, collecting in a hairbrush, or gathering on pillows, in the sink, or in the shower
  • Expanding patches of missing hair, usually at the top of the head
  • More strands of hair breaking off
  • Noticeable signs of scalp skin showing through hair
  • Thinning hair
  • Slowed hair growth
  • Hair feeling finer than usual

Diagnosing Female Hair Loss

When you visit us at Rivela Plastic Surgery, we will ensure your experience is as comfortable and rewarding as possible. Dr. Rivela and his nursing staff will conduct a thorough evaluation to diagnose your cause of female hair loss as well as listen to your desired goals.

We can then recommend the best treatment solution using follicular unit grafting, which remains the most advanced technique of hair transplantation available. We offer automated FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) with NeoGraft. You can expect outstanding results if you have stable donor hair in the back, yet suffer from localized thinning in the front or top of your scalp.

NeoGraft Hair Transplant for Female Hair Loss

During the NeoGraft process, patients can use Pro-Nox analgesia to ensure a comfortable and pain-free experience. Pro-Nox is a 50/50 mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen gas. Because it takes effect quickly and the patient can safely control its release, they can easily address any pain, discomfort, or anxiety as it comes up. Recovery from its effects is also much quicker than recovery from the effects of general anesthesia.

Women and men both love the natural and aesthetically pleasing results that follicular unit grafting can deliver. Because each individual follicular unit is grafted to your thinning areas in their natural state, the hair follicle can continue to grow in a normal, healthy pattern for a lifetime. This revolutionary technique makes your female hair transplant unnoticeable to others and gives you the freedom to choose your hairstyle.

Other Female Hair Loss Treatment Options

At Rivela Plastic Surgery in The Woodlands, we understand that each woman’s hair loss journey is unique. That’s why we offer a range of non-surgical options designed to stimulate hair growth and improve scalp health. Whether you are just starting to notice signs of thinning or you are looking for additional ways to maintain your hair restoration results, our advanced treatment options like PRP, PRF, and HydraFacial Keravive can help you restore your hair.

PRP & PRF

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapies utilize the power of your body’s natural healing factors to rejuvenate the scalp and stimulate hair follicles. These treatments involve drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate growth factors, and then injecting it into areas of thinning hair. PRF is slightly more advanced than PRP, offering a slower release of growth factors for longer-lasting stimulation. Both options are ideal for women seeking a natural way to boost hair density in the early stages of hair loss.

HydraFacial Keravive

HydraFacial Keravive is a non-invasive treatment designed to deeply cleanse and nourish the scalp, creating an optimal environment for hair growth. Using a gentle vortex suction combined with a blend of peptides, Keravive removes impurities like buildup and dead skin cells that can block follicles. It also infuses the scalp with hydration and nutrients, helping to revive thinning hair.

How Much Does Hair Loss Treatment Cost

The cost of this treatment for women will depend on several factors. The price can be affected by body type, type of technique performed, medications, and even allergies. Find out more by scheduling a consultation regarding your hair-thinning problems.

Female Pattern Hair Loss FAQs

What are the three types of Alopecia?

Alopecia is a condition characterized by hair loss, which can affect people of all ages. There are three main types of alopecia, each with distinct characteristics and causes. The first type is Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to patchy bald spots on the scalp or other areas of the body. The second type is Androgenetic Alopecia, often referred to as male or female-pattern baldness. It is a hereditary condition where hair gradually thins and is the most common cause of hair loss among both men and women. Lastly, there's Cicatricial Alopecia, also known as scarring alopecia, which results in permanent hair loss due to inflammation that damages and scars the hair follicles.

What causes female alopecia?

Female alopecia, commonly referred to as female pattern hair loss, can be attributed to a combination of genetic and hormonal factors. One of the most prevalent contributors is androgenetic alopecia, which is a hereditary form of hair loss linked to the presence of androgens, male hormones that are also present in females. Hormonal changes, particularly those involving estrogen and progesterone, commonly seen during menopause, pregnancy, or conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can also exacerbate hair thinning.

Can stress cause receding hairline?

Yes, stress can indeed contribute to a receding hairline. When the body encounters stress, it can cause hair to abruptly shift from the growing phase into the resting phase. This can cause noticeable hair thinning or hair loss, including a receding hairline.

At what age does womens hair start to thin?

Women's hair thinning often begins as they age, with many experiencing noticeable changes in their 40s and 50s. However, this can vary widely depending on genetic factors, hormonal changes, and overall health. Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during and after menopause, can lead to a decrease in hair density. Genetics also play a crucial role, with a family history of hair thinning possibly affecting the age at which it occurs.

Can a womans hairline recede?

Yes, a woman's hairline can recede, although it is less common in women than in men. Understanding the underlying cause of a receding hairline is important for determining appropriate hair loss treatments and solutions.

Can Estrogen cause hair loss?

Yes, estrogen can contribute to hair loss, although the relationship varies among individuals. During periods of high estrogen levels, such as pregnancy, many women experience thick and abundant hair. However, fluctuations in estrogen levels can have the opposite effect. For example, during menopause, the decrease in estrogen can lead to hair thinning or hair loss in some women.

When should I see a doctor about hair loss?

Hair loss can be a natural part of aging, but there are certain situations when seeing a doctor could be beneficial. If you notice sudden or patchy hair loss, or if you're losing hair more rapidly than usual, this might be an indicator of an underlying health condition, such as an autoimmune disorder or a nutritional deficiency. Seeking a doctor's advice can help in diagnosing the root cause of the problem and in discussing potential treatment options.

Why does older womens hair fall out?

Hair loss in older women is a common phenomenon influenced by a variety of factors. One of the primary reasons for hair thinning and loss in older women is hormonal changes, particularly the decrease in estrogen levels that occurs during and after menopause. This hormonal shift can lead to a condition known as androgenetic alopecia, which is characterized by a gradual thinning of hair on the scalp. In addition to hormonal changes, age-related factors such as reduced blood circulation, changes in nutritional needs, and the natural aging process of hair follicles also contribute to hair loss.

How does Neograft work for female pattern hair loss

Neograft is a minimally invasive procedure uses the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method, where individual hair follicles are harvested from a donor area, typically at the back or sides of the scalp, and then transplanted to thinning or balding areas. Neograft's automated technology allows for more precise extraction, reducing damage to hair follicles and enhancing the natural look of the results. This method is particularly appealing to women experiencing hair loss because it does not require a linear scar or extensive recovery time, allowing patients to return to their daily activities quickly.

How much does Neograft for female hair loss cost?

The cost of a NeoGraft procedure for female hair loss can vary widely based on several factors, including the extent of the hair loss, the number of grafts required, and any additional services that may be needed.
