How To Treat Female Hair Loss?

This concerned inquiry comes from the Question and Answer section of the Hair Restoration Discussion Forums:

I’ve previously never experienced any issues with my hair, but for the past year it’s been severely thinning. I’ve tried searching online, but I’m still not sure how women are supposed to fight [tag]female hair loss[/tag]? Is [tag]hair transplant surgery[/tag] an option?

Since [tag]hair loss[/tag] affects both males and females, several therapies exist for women battling [tag]thinning hair[/tag]:

First, [tag]Rogaine[/tag] ([tag]minoxidil[/tag]), a FDA approved therapy, produces a line of [tag] topical medication[/tag] specifically for female hair loss. Since this product is trusted and proven, it’s highly recommended as a non-surgical option for female [tag]bald[/tag]ing.

Second, numerous women battle thinning hair by undergoing a [tag]hair transplant[/tag] procedure with a recommended [tag]hair restoration physician[/tag]. Recent cases presented on our hair loss discussion forum by Dr. William Lindsey (seen here) and Dr. Sheldon Kabaker (seen here) demonstrate the effectiveness of a [tag]female hair transplant[/tag].

Additionally, before using any of these therapies, it’s highly recommended that female hair loss sufferers make an appointment with a dermatologist to analyze their hair loss. It could be caused by a variety of different things and letting an expert give his or her opinion on why your hair is thinning and how to proceed is a responsible first step.
