Effective Ways to Treat Women’s Hair Loss

added 7th February 2014

Female hair loss is quite common. It is often the result of genetics but other causes include autoimmune diseases, hair and scalp trauma, some medications, pregnancy, and stress, among other factors. Several types of hair loss can afflict women, including:

• female pattern hair loss
• telogen effluvium
• diffuse hair loss
• alopecia areata
• traction alopecia.

Treatment recommendations may vary depending on the type of hair loss. In almost all cases of hair loss, it is recommended to seek medical advice to determine whether genetics or a health-related issue is the cause of the condition.

Typically, the most effective treatment for women’s hair loss is Minoxidil. It is a topical lotion with clinically proven efficacy that has been licensed by the MHRA and approved by the FDA for the safe treatment of hair loss in women.

Other hair loss products such as the FDA cleared HairMax LaserComb and/or nutritional supplements and hair care products may be effective in supporting optimal hair growth when used alongside Minoxidil.
