It is reported that one in three women will experience hair loss at some point in their lives. The causes of female hair loss are varied and can include:

• Menopause
• Pregnancy
• Medication
• Over-styling
• Female Pattern Baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia)

Female pattern baldness is classified using the Ludwig system and, although it is not curable, there are treatments available that can slow and restore hair loss. In most cases, female hair loss is not permanent, and many women see regrowth with lifestyle changes, medication, and non-surgical treatments. However, in some cases, a hair transplant may be the best solution. This decision is typically made after consulting with a trichologist who can identify the cause of hair loss and advise whether restoration surgery is a viable option.
