Up to 50% of women over the age of 50 years incur some degree of hair loss. Premature or extensive hair loss in a woman can cause considerable distress. We feel patients need treatment options and in particular women with hair loss ask for actual information in regard to the causes. Transplanted hair is successful in most cases, as well as the recreation or thickening of eyebrows, also to camouflage scars following surgery or accidents.

Androgenic alopecia (hair thinning) will affect most women as they age. Looking at the amount of time and money spent at hairdressing salons and on hair care products, a full, healthy head of hair is crucial to most women's feelings of attractiveness, sexuality and even gender identity. Hair thinning is a normal physiological occurrence and can lead to a great deal of anxiety and distress, especially if premature or extensive. Not only is thinning hair common in women and men, but the causes are also the same. It is a pattern of inheritance.

After exclusion of other causes, appropriate treatment can be offered. An important part of management involves patient counselling regarding causes and treatment options, and there are some medical treatments that have been proven to be safe and effective in women.

For mild androgenic alopecia, camouflage can be the best option using routine hairdressing techniques or some of the pressure sprays available today. In extensive cases, a good wig can look very natural. Hair transplantation is also an option for women. It is a permanent method, with no further treatment required.
