According to the NHS, around 40% of women over the age of 70 experience Female Pattern Baldness. It is a hereditary condition and is therefore not something that can be prevented.
Women can also experience other types of hair loss which may not be hereditary and can result in thinning hair and bald patches.
Female Pattern Baldness is down to your genetic makeup. It is caused because your genes have given you a shorter period of hair growth and a longer period in-between the hair shedding and growth stages. Other forms of hair loss can occur due to changes in your hormones and stress levels.
We appreciate how upsetting it can be to lose your hair, however, at Este we have multiple treatment options available to you. They are -
If your hair loss has been caused due to stress, hormones, or medical treatment once these have been addressed you should see an improvement in your hair growth.
Unfortunately, Female Pattern Baldness is often hereditary and so it can’t be prevented. However, there are treatments that may help.
