As part of the natural growth cycle of hair, it is normal to experience hair loss. When you are healthy and young, hair typically grows back, helping you maintain a full head of hair. Female pattern hair loss, however, usually occurs at a later stage in life, in the period after menopause. This type of female hair loss, also called female pattern alopecia (FPA), is typically hereditary and directly influenced by a changing hormonal balance.
Based on this hormonal imbalance, over time hair follicles get smaller and produce smaller hairs. While women do not often experience baldness the way men tend to, their hair can get significantly thinner over time. This usually occurs on the top of the head and may cause a receding hairline on the forehead or temples. NYC female hair loss solutions can involve medical and/or surgical treatment.

Female hair loss can have many different causes. First, it is important to speak to your physician about hair loss to rule out any latent diseases that may be causing it, such as thyroid diseases. Once any diseases are ruled out, there are effective solutions for restoring hair loss, including forms of combination therapy:
In some cases, when the above treatments do not help, Dr. Halaas may recommend hair transplantation. Surgical hair restoration includes the harvesting of hair follicles from the patient, usually at the back of the head, to be placed in the treatment area. There are two techniques for successful hair restoration surgery. Contact Dr. Halaas to find out which technique will give you the best results.

This technique gathers the healthy follicles one by one from the head of the patient to be transplanted to the balding or thinning areas. The main advantage of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is that it leaves no scar on the scalp. It is important to note that to be able to retrieve the follicles correctly, the area needs to be shaved before the extraction, though this is often done in the least noticeable way possible.

With this method, the hair follicles are obtained by stip harvesting. The strip is divided into the right amount of follicles to be placed back on the scalp. Follicular Unit Grafts/Grafting (FUG) may leave a scar on the scalp, which should be completely covered once the hair grows back. The advantage of this technique is that more follicles can be obtained at once and the area being harvested does not need to be shaved.
