Female Pattern Hair Loss is one of the most common causes of hair thinning in women. Unlike male pattern baldness, it usually causes diffuse thinning over the top of the scalp while preserving the frontal hairline. At Elegance Clinic in Adajan, Surat, Dr. Ashutosh Shah provides personalized treatment plans after identifying the underlying cause and evaluating the extent of hair loss.
Early diagnosis and treatment can help slow hair thinning, preserve existing hair, and support healthier hair growth.
What Is Female Pattern Hair Loss?
Female Pattern Hair Loss, also known as female pattern alopecia or female androgenetic alopecia, is a progressive condition in which hair follicles gradually become smaller, producing thinner and shorter hair over time. Genetics, hormones, and aging commonly contribute to this condition.
At Elegance Clinic, every patient receives a detailed hair and scalp assessment to determine the severity of hair loss and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
