Female pattern hair loss is still not widely talked about — but if you are experiencing it, know that you are not alone.

Female pattern hair loss (also known as hair thinning, androgenic thinning, androgenic alopecia, and reduced hair volume) can be a distressing condition. At Philip Kingsley, we often see clients who feel embarrassed or lacking in confidence because of it. Unlike male pattern hair loss, female pattern hair loss is still not widely talked about — but if you are experiencing it, know that you are not alone. In the UK, over 20% of women under fifty experience hair thinning, and this number jumps to about 65% during and after menopause.

It is extremely unusual for women to go completely bald from female pattern hair loss, but it is still a condition that deserves proper attention to determine the right path for you..

There are several effective ways of slowing down (and sometimes stopping) hair thinning in women. In fact, in the Philip Kingsley Trichological Clinics, our experts usually see an improvement in hair density and new hair growth using a combination of holistic approaches and our bespoke topical treatments. It is important to realise, however, that treatment can take time.
