Introduction:
Female Patterned Baldness, also known as Androgenetic Alopecia or Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL), is a common condition affecting millions of women worldwide. While often associated with men, hair loss can be equally distressing for women, impacting self-esteem and quality of life. At Russh Hospital Hyderabad’s Dermatology Department, we understand the emotional toll of FPHL and offer compassionate care and effective treatment options to help women regain confidence and reclaim their hair.
Understanding Female Patterned Baldness:
FPHL is characterized by progressive thinning of hair, primarily on the top and front of the scalp. Unlike male pattern baldness, which typically results in a receding hairline and bald patches, FPHL tends to cause diffuse thinning throughout the scalp, leading to a widening part and overall loss of volume. While the exact cause of FPHL is complex and multifactorial, hormonal imbalances, genetic predisposition, and environmental factors are believed to play significant roles.
Treatment Options:
At Russh Hospital Hyderabad’s Dermatology Department, our expert dermatologists offer personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs and preferences. Treatment options for FPHL may include topical medications, such as minoxidil, which can help stimulate hair growth and slow down further loss. Oral medications, such as finasteride, may also be prescribed to block the effects of androgens on the hair follicles and prevent further thinning.
In addition to medications, advanced treatment modalities such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) may be recommended to promote hair regrowth and improve hair density. These minimally invasive procedures harness the body’s natural healing mechanisms to stimulate hair follicle regeneration and enhance hair growth.
