Female hair loss is much more prevalent than most people recognise. It may be genetic, a change in hormones, stress, or a health issue. The sooner you act, the better you can restore hair and confidence. Thus, as much as you are worried about thinning of your hair or baldness, being aware of its solutions will give you complete relief.
At Dr. A’s Clinic, led by Dr. Arvind Poswal, women can choose between highly developed surgical and non-surgical treatment options. By applying advanced techniques and a patient-centred policy, we provide natural-looking and lasting results.
This article outlines the factors that cause hair loss in women and looks at surgical as well as non-surgical treatments, emphasising innovative solutions provided in Dr. A’s Clinic.
Understanding Hair Loss in Women
Female hair loss has a different appearance from male hair loss. While men generally have the problem of receding hairline or patches of baldness, women have diffuse thinning, widening part or general loss of volume.
Some of the usual causes of hair loss in women are:
- Genetics: One of the major causes is female pattern hair loss, which has been inherited through either parent.
- Hormonal shifts: Pregnancy, menopause, and health issues related to the thyroid may cause hormonal changes in which the cycle of hair growth is altered.
- Medical conditions: PCOS, infections on the scalp, and autoimmune diseases may damage hair follicles.
- Medications: Medicines like anticancer, antidepressant, or hypertension drugs can lead to shedding.
- Stress and lifestyle: Weak hair can be due to chronic stress, poor nutrition and lack of sleep.
Irrespective of gender, one’s hair cycle has 3 phases:
- Anagen (growth phase) – This phase lasts for several years and produces new hair.
- Catagen (transitional phase) – It is a short phase in which the growth stagnates.
- Telogen (resting phase) – In this stage, the hair is lost and renewed.
Any interference with this cycle may lead to more than normal shedding or a slower regrowth in women. The symptoms to look out for specifically in females are:
- An increase in the amount of hair on your pillow, brush, or shower drain.
- Noticeable parting on the part line.
- Greater visibility of the scalp when in a light source.
- Altered textures, for example, weakening of hair.
By detecting the condition early, the prevalence of hair loss can be reduced, the outcomes can be refined, and further deterioration of the condition can be eliminated.
At Dr. A’s Clinic, complete scalp analysis and diagnostic testing are done by Dr. Arvind Poswalto identify the actual cause. This guarantees that all patients have a personalised treatment regimen for effective treatment.
Effective Treatment Options for Women
Women’s hair loss treatments become effective only when they are tailored specific to the condition of the respective person. At Dr. A’s Clinic, all our treatment options are customized in terms of cause, pattern and degree of hair loss. Here are some of the most widely used options at our clinic to treat women hair loss-related issues.
-
Topical Treatments and Oral Medications
Minoxidil is one of the most widespread topical medications that is approved by the FDA for treating hair loss in women, and has an effect of prolonging the hair growth phase. When directly applied to the scalp, it may augment hair density and reduce shedding.
At Dr. A’s Clinic, along with topical treatments, we may also prescribe oral medication to normalize your hormones, inflammation or produce stronger follicles. However, these drugs work best when begun at an early stage.
-
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy
The PRP therapy involves extraction of a very little amount of blood from the patient. Then, the collected blood is centrifugated to concentrate the platelets. This PRP is thereafter injected into areas of thinning to activate hair follicles and increase thickness.
The growth factors present in the PRP facilitate is believed to promote cell proliferation for enhanced hair growth. Dr. Arvind Poswal and his team conduct PRP with advanced practices that focus as much as possible on effectiveness while minimising the discomfort.
-
Hair Transplant Surgery
Hair surgery can replace natural-looking hair in cases of permanent or severe hair loss in women. Here are the top 4 hair transplant surgeries, conducted by Dr. Arvind Poswal with long-term, natural-looking results.
-
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
FUE is the process of transplanting follicular units that are separated from the donor area and are inserted into balding sites. It is a minimally invasive means of healing that leaves tiny, almost unnoticeable scars and delivers a fast healing process.
-
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT/FUSS)
FUT involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area and dividing it into individual grafts. It can be applied to women who require many grafts during a single procedure.
-
Follicular Unit Separation Extraction (FUSE)
FUSE is the invention of Dr. Arvind Poswal, who enhanced FUE in terms of graft survival and quicker healing. It is both precise and efficient, which is why it is a desirable choice for many women suffering from extensive hair loss.
-
Body Hair Transplant (BHT)
In cases where the scalp donor hair is insufficient, other body parts (e.g. arms or legs) may be used to provide hair to boost density and coverage. It’s mostly used in women having bald spots in their scalp.
-
Non-Surgical Options
If hair loss is detected early and the extent is less, our founder, Dr. Arvind Poswal, often suggests the following non-surgical options for women.
-
Gene Biohacking Therapy
One of the most latest non-surgical procedures available is Gene Biohacking Therapy. It is done based on the molecular and genetic level of the woman and tries to re-stimulate dormant hair follicles. It promotes new growth and reinforces current hairs by specifically addressing the cell health and advancing the state of the scalp.
It particularly applies to women who are at an early stage of thinning or those who cannot try surgical alternatives for hair restoration. As Gene Biohacking Therapy is not invasive, there is no downtime as such, enabling patients to go about their usual routine easily after sessions.
-
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
LLLT involves the use of medical-grade laser devices, which transmit low-intensity red light. The irradiation of these light beams reaches the scalp to aid the flow of blood and activate dormant hair follicles.
At Dr. A’s Clinic, this therapy is performed using the latest FDA-approved machines under the professional guidance of Dr. Arvind Poswal. The outcome is a healthier, thicker hair growth over time. It is painless and may be carried out in brief, frequent visits at our clinic.
-
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
Scalp Micropigmentation is a cosmetic yet effective solution that aims to restore the hair appearance instantly among women suffering from hair loss. It can be done by depositing natural colored pigments in the scalp, simulating the appearance of fine hair follicles.
The SMP performed by Dr. Arvind Poswal is done precisely so that the outcome looks natural and realistic. It leaves a perception of fullness in thinning spots, reduce the contrast between hair and scalp to make it less sharp and reinstate confidence in a short period.
-
Nutritional and Lifestyle Changes
Protein, iron, zinc, and vitamins are needed by hair to grow. Thinning and breakage in women often tend to result from a nutrient-deficient diet. So, along with clinical treatments, female patients are always given dietary advice to help with the growth of their hair.
Supplements may only be prescribed based on tests that prove severe nutritional deficiencies. But apart from this, yoga, meditation, and physical exercise also need to be performed to prevent stress-related shedding in women.
We at Dr. A’s Clinic offer both practical solutions and effective guidance to address the visible effects of hair loss in women. All our treatment plans are individualized to produce long-term, natural results.
