Medical Treatment for Women Hair Loss

Although hair loss predominantly affects men, it is not uncommon for women to experience it as well. Many factors can cause hair loss in women, some of which are treatable, while others may require a more invasive procedure.

Below, we will outline the various treatment options Dr. Resul Yaman offers for female patients experiencing hair loss, providing you with a clearer understanding of the available options. But before we do that, let’s look at why women lose hair in the first place.

Why Do Women Loss Hair?

The most common reason for hair loss in women is androgenetic alopecia. To date, over 30 million women in the United States alone are affected by this genetically predetermined disorder. Other reasons for hair loss in women include:

• Problems related to their thyroid hormone, pregnancy, giving birth, and birth control pills
• Iron deficiency (hair loss can be stopped if you start taking in enough iron until it reaches an average level)
• Medicines used in the treatment of certain diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and depression
• Irregular eating habits.
• Excessive weight loss can also be a big trigger for hair loss. No matter what diet you follow, you must always make sure you get in the habit of consuming a sufficient amount of essential nutrients and vitamins your hair requires
• Stress and emotional trauma

Although losing hair is an unfortunate experience, fortunately, there are numerous treatments available for women who have concerns about their hair.

The Treatments Available for Treating Female Hair Loss

Thanks to advancements in medical technology over the years, numerous new treatments have become available to women experiencing hair loss. When it comes to hair loss in women, though there are plenty of treatments to explore, it’s crucial that you treat the problem before it progresses into its more advanced stages. 

Based on your current circumstances, Dr. Resul Yaman will provide you with the most suitable treatment to achieve the best results. To give you an overview of the various treatment options available, we’ll explore each one in more detail below.

Minoxidil

MInoxidil is a medication that is believed to widen the blood vessels in your scalp, which will improve the blood flow in your scalp, which will promote hair growth. This medication can be applied directly to your scalp and is available in different strengths (over-the-counter and prescription). To see results from Minoxidil, you must usually wait for several months.

Ketoconazole

A standard hair loss treatment for women is Ketoconazole. It is an antifungal medication that can be applied topically to the scalp or taken as a pill. Ketoconazole has anti-inflammatory properties that are believed to enhance hair growth. It’s most often used in conjunction with other hair loss treatments.

Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation in Turkey is the most effective and reliable way to resolve any issues you may have regarding hair loss. It is also the most expensive and invasive method of restoring the natural look and volume of your hair. The female hair transplant procedure in Turkey involves the extraction of healthy hair follicles from the donor area and their implantation in the recipient area.

Light Therapy

Also known as LLLT, low-level light therapy is a popular hair loss treatment that is believed to improve the flood flow in your scalp, which as a result, will stimulate the growth of your hair. It is a very safe and effective procedure that involves using a special device that emits low-level laser or light energy to your scalp.

Hormone Therapy

If your hair loss is due to hormonal imbalances, a hormone therapy treatment may be the perfect solution to your hair loss problem. Hormone therapy usually involves the use of medication to regulate hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone.

FAQs About Medical Treatment for Women Hair Loss

Are Shampoos Helpful for Hair Loss?

Yes, but shampoos don’t directly help treat hair loss. What we mean by this is that if the pores on your scalp are clogged up, that can result in hair loss. Using a shampoo that unclogs your pores can help prevent hair loss. With that said, if you suffer from a condition that results in hair loss, a shampoo won’t be able to help you.

What Should a Nutritious Diet Look Like?

A healthy diet in women can significantly impact hair growth. If your diet contains all of the necessary vitamins and minerals that your hair needs, it will grow. The key nutrients you want to pay the most attention to give your hair the best chance to thrive include protein, iron, vitamin C & B, biotin, and zinc.

What is Scalp Massage?

A scalp massage is a form of massage technique that uses the fingertips to apply gentle pressure and make circular movements around the scalp. This type of massage can be relaxing, but when it comes to hair loss, it’s great for evenly and thoroughly distributing oils or hair care products and enhancing their effectiveness.
