Women arrive at a hair clinic much later than men, usually after a year of changing shampoos, because the loss is diffuse rather than a receding line and it is easy to tell yourself it is seasonal.
The common causes we actually see
Post-pregnancy shedding, which typically resolves. Iron deficiency and low vitamin D. Thyroid imbalance. Post-illness or post-crash-diet shedding. Traction loss from tight hairstyles at the temples. And genuine female pattern thinning, which widens the parting.
Why a transplant is rarely the first answer
Most of these reverse once the cause is corrected. Surgery in a scalp that is still actively shedding for a medical reason spends a fixed lifetime donor supply on a problem medication would have solved.
What the first visit involves
Trichoscopy to measure density and check for miniaturisation, a donor count, medical history, and blood work — thyroid profile, iron studies, vitamin D. Only then does anyone talk about a procedure.
When treatment is the answer
GFC and PRP work well when follicles are weak but still alive, which is most early female cases. Sessions are short, there is no downtime, and progress is tracked in comparison photographs rather than by feel.
Private slots
Private consultation slots are available on request, and photographs are never published without a signed release.
