How Females Can Combat Thinning Hair   San Jose Women after Bald Treatment Causes of Thinning Hair Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL) is a progressive condition. FPHL sufferers experience thinning hair across the top of and crown of their scalp. Hair follicles in this area often become smaller or disappear altogether. Other causes of thinning hair or women's hair loss include:
  • Menopause
  • Underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes or thyroid disease
  • Stress
  • Poor nutrition
  • Abuse of hair with chemicals and/or heat
  • Combinations of all these factors
Hair Loss Treatments An over the counter medication such as minoxidil (marketed as Rogaine) and Theroxidil have shown some success in treating women with thinning hair. Other treatments, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT), have yielded promising results for some women. Sometimes lifestyle and hairstyle changes can stop hair loss and promote new growth. Hair Transplant Surgery When lifestyle changes and medications are unsuccessful, many women find success with hair transplant surgery. There are two types of Follicle Unit Transplant (FUT):
  1. Strip Harvesting is a procedure where strips of skin with intact hair follicles are removed, usually from the back of the head, and the follicles are harvested for transplant. This is the most invasive process.
  1. Follicle Unit Extraction (FUE) is a newer hair transplant procedure. It involves shaving the back of the head. A doctor then harvests hair follicles one at a time. This process has a short recovery time, and it results in a very natural look.
