Suggest Remedy For Female Pattern Baldness

I am 34 years female with androgenic female pattern baldness. The episodes of hairfall come after every 3/4 months & last for 3/4 months. My scalp is visible from front & crown area & also from both areas above temples. Used minoxidil & foltene but none works What could be done for restoration and rescue the episodes of more hair fall. Please help.

Hi

In female pattern baldness, the hair’s growing phase slows down. It also takes longer for new hair to begin growing. Hair follicles shrink, leading the hair that does grow to be thinner and finer.

Women lose hair from all over their head, starting at their part line. Hair at the temples may also recede.Hereditary causes is the most common.

Spironolactone is a diuretic, which means it removes excess fluid from the body. It also blocks androgen production, and it may help regrow hair in women.

Laser combs and Platelet-rich plasma therapy may also be beneficial.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
