Finnish researchers conducted a study involving women’s hair loss to determine if a high-glycemic diet and carbohydrates contribute to their balding. In the study, women who were more insulin resistant and ate more carbs had a higher risk of developing androgenic alopecia (AGA) hair loss. Aug 10, 2017. We also know that men with insulin resistance have more cardiac disease and many with such diseases […]
A biopsy rules out specific autoimmune diseases in women that causes hair loss but the diagnosis of FPHL is not helpful. The first step in evaluating hair loss in women, after a detailed history and physical exam, is to rule out any underlying medical causes of hair loss which can be treated. If clinically appropriate, […]
I can so relate to the brow loss hair post. I’m so fearful that I made a bad decision about having a forehead lift because I, too, am losing lots of hair from the top and sides of my head. I am 7 weeks out and panic stricken because, around the incision, I am starting to […]
I’m a 47 year old female. About 7 months ago, I noticed a thin spot on right side of my hairline, then a few months later, the left seemed thinner. It’s my underneath area, temple up to the sides of my widows peak. It seemed to be rapid because last summer I had full hair […]
This type of hair loss will almost certainly return in women. However, the hair along the incision may not fully return and may leave a visible scar. You will not know this until 6-8 months after your surgery. If you are a male, on the other hand, it is likely that the hair will not return if this […]

I had excessive bleeding and the doctors determined I have high estrogen. They put me on a birth control pill and it fixed the bleeding. I’m concerned because I had full luscious hair and now anyone can see through to my scalp. Please help me! The birth control pills have been known to cause hair loss in […]
Women who have the same genetics as men don’t lose all of their hair in patterns because they have high estrogen levels, which protect their hair, and low testosterone. This is not rocket science. The best treatment for hair loss is to have your testicles taken off before you start losing your hair and then […]
Although some hair transplant doctors offer hair transplants for diffuse thinning, I consider this an issue of malpractice because, if it is really diffuse thinning, there is little value of a hair transplant to correct this. Sometimes, a hair transplant for thinning in the frontal area can work in women. For men, it takes a […]
One option that is worth considering, if you can’t get your hair loss under control, is Scalp Micropigmentation (see: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/smp-for-women/)
It depends on the cause of the woman’s hair loss. If the woman had miniaturization of the donor hair, then this hair may not last a long time. If the donor hair is normal, it should last a woman’s lifetime. Many women with genetic balding have miniaturization in the donor area and, when this is more than 20%, […]
There is little doubt that hair and self-esteem go together. Imagine how many celebrities and successful business people’s self-esteem increased after a hair transplant and their careers took off. Some of these people (men and some women who had their hairlines lowered by us), believed (wrongfully) that the hair made the difference, but, when a person […]
My hair loss started 3.5 years ago as I turned 50. Now I have half my density. Labs show subclinical hypothyroidism, elevated antibodies, a high estradiol to progesterone ratio of 170 to 0.2, and free testosterone high at 5.6. Zinc level (AP) always low. My doctor blames all symptoms, including hair loss, weight gain, loss of […]
