Hair loss is often thought of as a problem that mostly affects men, but it’s surprisingly common among women too. In fact, by the age of 50, more than half of all women will experience noticeable hair loss. At DYU Aesthetics, we help women manage hair loss effectively, offering advanced treatments like PRP therapy and QR678®, so they can regain their confidence and restore healthy hair growth.
If you're dealing with hair loss, let’s take a look at the common causes and the available solutions.
Why Does Hair Loss Happen in Women?
Many factors can contribute to hair loss in women. Here are some of the most common causes:
- Tight Hairstyles: Frequent styling that pulls on hair roots can lead to hair weakening over time.
- Chemical Processing: Overuse of chemical treatments like perms, relaxers, or dyes can damage hair follicles.
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and protein can impair hair growth.
- Weight Loss: Rapid weight loss can trigger excessive hair shedding due to shock to the body.
- Medications and Treatments: Certain drugs, as well as chemotherapy and radiation, can lead to temporary or permanent hair loss.
- Stress: Excessive stress or traumatic events can lead to a condition called telogen effluvium, where hair enters the shedding phase prematurely.
- Thyroid Issues: Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can affect hair growth.
- Pregnancy and Menopause: Hormonal changes during pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause can cause temporary or long-term hair thinning.
- Genetics: Like male pattern baldness, female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is influenced by genes and hormonal changes, often becoming more noticeable with age.
Some of these causes, such as stress or nutritional deficiencies, are reversible, while others, like genetics or hormonal changes, may require more targeted treatments.
Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL)
The most common form of hair loss in women is Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL), also known as female pattern baldness. FPHL is often triggered by hormonal fluctuations, particularly during menopause, along with genetic factors. Over time, this type of hair loss results in thinning at the crown and part line, rather than complete baldness like in men.
Hair Shedding vs. Hair Loss
It's important to distinguish between normal hair shedding and actual hair loss. On average, women shed 50-100 hairs a day as part of the natural growth cycle. However, excessive hair shedding, caused by factors like stress, illness, or rapid weight loss, usually resolves on its own over several months.
Hair loss, on the other hand, involves underlying conditions that stop the hair from growing. Depending on the cause, hair loss can be either temporary or permanent. Temporary hair loss, like that caused by chemotherapy, often resolves when the treatment stops. Permanent hair loss, caused by genetics or irreversible damage to the hair follicles, requires specific treatments.
Treating Hair Loss with PRP and QR678®
At DYU Aesthetics, we offer innovative solutions for hair loss, including PRP therapy and QR678® injections.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy for Hair Loss
PRP therapy involves using a concentrated form of your own blood, rich in platelets and growth factors, to stimulate hair follicle health and promote new hair growth. Platelets help restore damaged follicles by delivering vital proteins that encourage cell regeneration and improve circulation to the hair roots.
Since PRP is derived from your own blood, there's no risk of allergic reactions, and the procedure is minimally invasive, involving no surgery or downtime. Most women benefit from multiple sessions spread over several months for optimal results. At DYU Aesthetics, we customize your PRP treatment plan based on the severity of your hair loss and your personal goals.
QR678® Injections for Hair Loss
QR678® is a revolutionary hair regrowth treatment that has gained popularity for its ability to promote hair growth and combat hair thinning. The formulation contains a combination of growth factors and peptides that are directly injected into the scalp, targeting hair follicles to stimulate new hair growth.
QR678® is particularly effective for women dealing with female pattern hair loss (FPHL), as well as other forms of alopecia. This treatment is safe, non-invasive, and requires no recovery time, making it a convenient option for those seeking visible results.
