Hair loss in women is a problem that affects around 40% of women at various stages of life. Unlike men, whose hair loss is mainly androgenetic, in women the causes are far more varied. Ignoring the problem or relying on ineffective “home remedies” can delay proper treatment and deepen the hair loss.
The most common causes of hair loss in women
Iron deficiency (ferritin below 70 ng/ml) is one of the most common and most easily corrected causes - restoring ferritin often stops the shedding completely. Hypothyroidism, hormonal disorders (PCOS, menopause), vitamin D and zinc deficiencies, physical and psychological stress (telogen effluvium) and an unsuitable diet are further common causes. Diagnosis should include blood tests measuring TSH, ferritin, iron, vitamin D and a full blood count.
Scalp mesotherapy - an effective treatment method
Injectable or microneedling mesotherapy of the scalp are the most effective in-studio methods of stimulating hair growth. Active substances delivered directly into the scalp nourish the hair follicles, extend the growth phase and slow shedding. Results are visible after 4-6 sessions, and the course usually lasts 3-6 months.
What to do alongside the treatment?
In-studio treatments are best supplemented with: supplementation of missing micronutrients (biotin, zinc, iron, vitamin D), a shampoo and scalp serum with active ingredients (e.g. caffeine, over-the-counter minoxidil, saw palmetto), stress reduction and regular physical activity. Avoid tight hairstyles and aggressive brushing of wet hair.
