What is the Best Solution for Excessive Hair Loss in Women?

Hair loss is an issue that is suffered by men and women alike. Some hair loss is natural and can be waited out or treated naturally. If you suffer excessive hair loss, you may want to see your GP to explore whether you have underlying health issues. Pearl Chemist has a wide variety of natural hair care products for you to choose from and make you feel renewed.

Hair loss can be caused by many things including:

  • Stress - Telogen Effluvium is excessive hair loss caused by stress.   
  • Hormones - Androgenetic Alopecia (female pattern baldness) is hormonal hair loss caused by a hormone derivative of testosterone, called DHT.   
  • Autoimmune issues - Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition that causes your immune system to attack the hair follicles.  

There are numerous treatments for hair loss, no matter the cause:  

Hair Loss Shampoos - whilst hair loss shampoos won’t actually regrow hair if your hair follicles have stopped producing hair, it may help to increase strength and thickness in hair that is still growing or continues to grow, which may give your hair the appearance of more volume.  This method is advised if you are experiencing a temporary hair loss.

Light therapy - known as low level laser therapy, red light therapy and cold laser therapy, light therapy irradiates photos into scalp tissues.  Widely accepted as a safe, tolerable and less invasive treatment than hair transplant surgery, these photos are absorbed by weaker cells and encourage hair growth.  There is not yet enough credible information to determine the efficacy of this treatment, but it remains a popular treatment.

Hormone therapy - HRT is an effective treatment for women during menopause that often times addresses hair loss associated with this change of life.

Hair Transplants -  aiming to restore hair growth to areas of the scalp with limited or absent growth, hair transplants generally use side or back of the head hairs (sometimes chin, back or chest).  A strip of skin or a punch tool will be used to remove follicles and place them in the donor area.  This is an effective and permanent solution to hair loss, but does not prevent future hair loss.
