What Is Female Pattern Baldness?
Female pattern baldness is a type of hair loss that affects women. It is also called female pattern hair loss or androgenetic alopecia (AGA) or androgenic alopecia.
What Causes Female Pattern Baldness?
Female pattern baldness is caused by the effect of the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone) on the hair follicles. This hormone shortens their growth cycle and causes them to shrink and produce thinner, shorter hairs which eventually leads to hair loss. This sensitivity of the hair follicles to DHT is determined by a person’s genes.
What Are Female Pattern Baldness Symptoms?
Female pattern baldness symptoms include widening of the parting in the middle of the head with hair loss on either side of the parting.
Symptoms usually occur in the 50s or 60s during a woman’s postmenopausal period. Early onset female pattern baldness begins in the 30s or 40s.
.
Female Pattern Baldness Stages (Sinclair Scale)
Stage 1: Little or no hair loss
Stage 2: A slight gap in the central hair part
Stage 3: A wider gap in the central hair part with loss of hair on either side of the part line
Stage 4: Bald patches appear towards the front of the hairline
Stage 5: Advanced hair loss
Female Pattern Baldness Diagnosis
A diagnosis of female pattern baldness is made after the Doctor listens to the patient’s history and examines their scalp.

At Almasi Skincare we offer the best solutions for female pattern baldness or female pattern hair loss by combining prescription medications, dermatological procedures, over-the-counter (OTC) hair care products and lifestyle modifications.
Prescription Medications For Female Pattern Baldness Treatment
Prescription medications used for female pattern baldness treatment include:
*Minoxidil is a vasodilator which is applied on the scalp.
.
Dermatological Procedures For Female Pattern Baldness Treatment
Dermatological procedures used for female pattern baldness treatment include:
*Microneedling with PRP since multiple studies have proved its effectiveness in treating AGA.
Microneedling is a procedure which causes micro-injuries in the scalp. This triggers the body’s healing process and the release of growth factors which stimulate the hair follicles and result in hair growth.
A study found that the addition of PRP to medical treatment for persons with AGA resulted in increased hair density and hair diameter. Microneedling with PRP increased the efficiency of the treatment and shortened the time needed for optimum improvement.
A study found that combining PRP with Minoxidil had better results for the treatment of AGA than using each of them individually.
At Almasi Skincare we offer microneedling with PRP for female pattern hair loss treatment.
*Hair transplants are also done.

*Antifungal shampoos
Antifungal shampoos with ketoconazole are used because ketoconazole shampoos have been shown by studies to reduce DHT on the scalp which in turn reduces hair shedding and promotes the growth of healthier hair.

Ketoconazole shampoos also reduce chronic scalp inflammation which in turn reduces hair follicle damage and hair loss. Perfect examples include Hitoral Shampoo and Nizoral Shampoo.
