Hair Loss in Women: Causes, Types & Treatment Options

Struggling with Hair Loss? You’re Not Alone

Hair thinning and hair loss in women is a common concern—yet it's often misunderstood or overlooked. Whether it's a few extra strands in your hairbrush or a visible decrease in volume, noticing hair loss can feel distressing.

At DermaClinix, we’re here to help you understand the root cause of your hair loss and guide you toward effective, science-backed treatments.

Understanding Hair Loss in Women

Hair loss in women, medically known as Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL) or Androgenetic Alopecia, often presents as diffuse thinning on the top and crown of the scalp—unlike male pattern baldness, which usually causes a receding hairline or bald patches.

It can affect women at any age, but it’s most common after menopause. While hair loss is not life-threatening, it can impact self-esteem and confidence.

The Hair Growth Cycle: Why Does Hair Fall Out?

Your hair grows and sheds in a natural cycle consisting of three stages:

Anagen Phase (Growth Phase): Lasts 2–8 years. About 85–90% of your hair is in this phase at any time.

Catagen Phase (Transition Phase): Lasts 2–3 weeks.

Telogen Phase (Resting Phase): Lasts 2–4 months, after which hair sheds.

Understanding this cycle is key to identifying what's normal and what’s not.

Types of Hair Loss in Women

  • Androgenetic Alopecia (Female Pattern Baldness): Caused by genetics and hormones like DHT. Leads to gradual thinning, primarily on the top of the scalp.
  • Telogen Effluvium: Temporary shedding triggered by stress, illness, or nutritional deficiencies.
  • Anagen Effluvium: Sudden hair loss due to medications like chemotherapy.
  • Primary Scarring Alopecia: Caused by autoimmune conditions that destroy hair follicles permanently.
  • Secondary Scarring Alopecia: Caused by burns, trauma, or infections.

Types of Hair Loss in Women

Age: Hair loss increases as you age especially post-menopause.

Hormonal Changes: DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) shrinks hair follicles, leading to thinning.

Genetics: A family history of hair loss increases your risk.

Hair Transplant Surgery

For advanced hair loss or scarring alopecia, hair transplant offers a permanent solution.

At Dermaclinix, we specialize in Long Hair Transplants — an advanced technique that requires no shaving or trimming of hair, making it an ideal, discreet, and convenient option, especially for women.

Telogen Effluvium: Temporary Hair Loss

Acute Telogen Effluvium: Hair loss begins 2-3 months after a trigger (like stress or illness). Often resolves on its own.

Chronic Telogen Effluvium: Gradual, persistent shedding without an obvious cause, usually seen in women aged 40-50

We start with

✅ Scalp Examination & Trichoscopy (Dermatoscope Analysis)

✅ Blood Tests: Thyroid, iron, Vitamin D, hormonal profiles
