Hair Loss in Women
Hair loss in women is far more common than most people realize; studies show that nearly one in three women will experience some degree of hair loss in their lifetime. In contrast to men who experience baldness in specific, isolated areas, women may lose hair uniformly all over their scalp, making early detection especially difficult. Hair loss in women can be due to a number of causes such as medications, hormonal changes including menopause, pregnancy, and thyroid issues, or may be hereditary. Whatever the cause, hair loss and thinning can have devastating emotional consequences for a woman. At New Life Physicians, Dr. Kensington provides the latest hair growth restoration treatments while offering a compassionate and supportive environment throughout the process.
