Hair Loss in Women - What is this?

If you are a woman who:

- has begun to note an accentuated process of hair loss with or without the thinning of your hair;

- is surprised, upset and worried about your hair loss;

- does not understand why you are losing hair,

Know that you are not alone, because at least one in every five women has the same problem.

The good news is that most of these cases can be treated by a specialist in the area. In some cases, clinical treatment alone may work, however in others a hair transplant combined with clinical therapy is necessary. (click here to see when a hair transplant is necessary).

Degrees of Hair loss in Women

There is a classification of hair loss in women which has three grades: Grade I is for cases of light thinning, more easily seen in the hair’s part. After, with Grade II, we see some transparency in the hair that allows us to see the scalp. Finally, Grade III is for more advanced cases where some regions have bald sections.

· Beginning cases (Grade I): Clinical treatment only
· Intermediary cases (Grade II): Clinical treatment and hair transplant
· Advanced cases (Grade III): Hair transplant only
