Androgenetic alopecia

Androgenetic alopecia, also known as female pattern hair loss, is a common condition in women marked by progressive thinning of scalp hair, especially around the frontal area and crown.

Diffuse thinning

Diffuse thinning describes a general reduction in hair density across the scalp, rather than localized hair loss in specific areas such as the hairline or crown. It makes the scalp more visible through reduced hair thickness and volume.

Menopause-related hair loss

Menopause-related hair loss is common during perimenopause and menopause. It is mainly caused by hormonal changes, especially lower estrogen and progesterone levels and a relative increase in androgens such as testosterone.

Postpartum hair loss

Postpartum hair loss, also known as telogen effluvium, is a common condition where women temporarily lose hair after giving birth. It is caused by strong hormonal changes, especially the drop in estrogen after delivery.

For women

Why women lose hair

Hair loss in women, also known as female hair loss or androgenetic alopecia, is primarily caused by a combination of genetics, hormones, and age. Other factors such as stress, illness, nutritional deficiencies and certain medications can also contribute.

Hormonal changes

Hormonal fluctuations, pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid changes can influence the hair cycle. A targeted analysis helps identify these causes and tailor treatment individually.

Genetics & age

Female hair loss often develops diffusely and gradually. Genetic predisposition and age can make hair follicles more sensitive — the earlier the cause is identified, the more precisely treatment can respond.

Frequently asked questions

The treatment of hair loss in women depends on the underlying cause. The earlier an appropriate therapy is started, the higher the chance of success.‍

Minoxidil and Other Medications

Minoxidil is the most thoroughly researched active ingredient for hereditary hair loss. Originally developed as a blood pressure medication, it works by dilating blood vessels and improving the nutrient supply to the hair roots. For women, a 2% concentration is recommended, while men usually use the 5% solution. Clinical studies have shown that regular use leads to a significant increase in hair growth. Additionally, topical corticosteroid preparations can be effective in treating circular hair loss (alopecia areata).‍

Hormone Therapy for PCOS or Menopause

In cases of hormonally induced hair loss, hormone therapy can help stop or slow down the process. For women with PCOS, antiandrogenic medications are used to reduce male hormone levels in the blood, which can help minimize hair loss. During menopause, hormone replacement therapy with estrogen and progesterone can suppress the inhibitory effects of male hormones on the hair follicles.‍

Dietary Changes and Supplements

A balanced diet plays an essential role in maintaining healthy hair growth. Key nutrients include biotin, zinc, iron, vitamin D, proteins, and B vitamins. If deficiencies are identified, supplements may help, but they should only be taken after consulting a doctor. In cases of diffuse hair loss, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals can help repair structural damage to the hair. Zinc deficiency, in particular, is associated with various forms of hair loss, including circular hair loss.‍

Hair Transplantation

Hair transplantation offers a long-term solution for hereditary hair loss. During this procedure, hair follicles are taken from the back of the head (the donor area) and transplanted into areas affected by hair thinning or loss. The two most common techniques are the FUE method (Follicular Unit Extraction) and the FUT method (Follicular Unit Transplantation or strip harvesting). Permanent hair growth typically begins about 10–12 weeks after the procedure. For women, this method is particularly suitable in cases of diffuse hair loss or a high forehead hairline.‍

PRP Therapy (Autologous Blood Treatment)

In platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, a small amount of the patient’s own blood is processed to obtain plasma rich in platelets, which is then injected into the scalp. The platelets contain growth factors that stimulate the hair follicles and promote the growth of new hair. Initial improvements can be seen after two to three months, with optimal results achieved after six to twelve months. For the best outcome, three to four sessions spaced about four weeks apart are recommended, followed by annual maintenance treatments. This method is especially effective for early-stage hair loss.‍

‍

Genetic Predisposition

Hormonal and hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is the most common form of hair loss in women, affecting about a quarter to a third of all women. The predisposition is inherited and cannot be cured. The key factor is an inherited hypersensitivity of the hair roots to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The androgen receptor gene is one of the primary genes involved. This genetic disposition causes the hair follicles to shrink under the influence of male hormones, resulting in thinner, shorter hairs that fall out more quickly.‍

Hormonal Changes (e.g., PCOS, Birth Control Pills)

Hormones play a central role in regulating the hair cycle and the cell division activity of hair follicles. While estrogens promote hair growth in women, an increase in male hormones or a decrease in estrogen production can lead to hair loss. Hair shedding often increases during hormonal transition phases such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting up to 10% of women and causes hair loss due to the excessive production of male sex hormones. In addition, both starting and discontinuing birth control pills can trigger hair shedding. After pregnancy, estrogen levels drop sharply, which can lead to increased hair loss around the eighth week postpartum and may last up to six months.‍

Stress and Psychological Strain

Stress negatively affects hair growth. During stressful situations, the body releases higher levels of stress hormones such as cortisol, which inhibit hair growth. At the same time, the number of nerve fibers around the hair follicles increases, releasing various signaling molecules. These trigger a neurogenic inflammatory response that activates immune cells such as mast cells. As a result, hairs prematurely enter the resting phase (telogen phase) and begin to fall out two to three months after the stress event.‍

Nutrient Deficiency (e.g., Iron, Vitamin D)

A lack of essential vitamins and minerals can contribute to hair loss. Iron deficiency, which is more common in women due to menstruation, impairs oxygen supply to the hair follicles. For optimal hair growth, ferritin levels should be at least 100 ng/ml. Other key nutrients include:

Zinc: Supports keratin production and promotes cell regeneration
Vitamin D: Activates hair follicles and prevents prolonged resting phases
Vitamin B12: Important for cell division and renewal of hair follicle cells
Vitamin C: Acts as an antioxidant, protecting hair cells and improving iron absorption‍

Thyroid Disorders

Both underactive (hypothyroidism) and overactive (hyperthyroidism) thyroid conditions can lead to hair loss. The thyroid hormones T3 and T4 regulate metabolism and directly influence hair-forming cells. In hypothyroidism, hair cells spend more time in the resting phase, slowing hair growth and causing the hair to become dry and brittle. In hyperthyroidism, cell activity accelerates, shortening the hair’s life cycle and leading to thinner, more diffusely shedding hair. After successful treatment of the thyroid disorder, the lost hair usually grows back.‍
