Thinning Hair & Hair Loss in Women

Thinning hair is a common concern among women, affecting millions worldwide. While some degree of hair thinning is a natural part of ageing, excessive shedding or noticeable hair loss can be distressing. Unlike male pattern baldness, which often follows a predictable pattern, hair thinning in women can occur diffusely across the scalp, leading to reduced hair density and volume.

At Hair and Skin Science, we specialise in advanced, non-surgical treatments designed to support natural hair regrowth and restore confidence. Our expert team of Australian doctors provides personalised care tailored to your unique hair health needs.

Causes of Thinning Hair in Women

Hair thinning in women can be triggered by various factors, including hormonal changes, genetics, and lifestyle influences. Unlike men, where Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) plays a significant role in hair loss, women’s hair thinning is often linked to hormonal fluctuations, particularly those associated with pregnancy, menopause, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Other contributing factors include:

  • Stress and lifestyle choices – High stress levels, inadequate nutrition, and poor hair care routines can accelerate hair thinning.
  • Medical conditions and medications – Certain illnesses and medications, including those for thyroid disorders, autoimmune conditions, and birth control, can contribute to hair loss.
  • Nutritional deficiencies – Low levels of iron, biotin, and protein can weaken hair follicles, resulting in thinner, weaker strands.

Recognising the Signs of Hair Thinning

Hair thinning in women typically presents as widening of the parting, reduced hair volume, or increased shedding. Unlike men, women rarely experience complete baldness, but the loss of hair density can significantly impact self-esteem. If hair thinning occurs suddenly or in patches, an underlying medical condition may be the cause, requiring professional assessment.

Treatments for Thinning Hair in Women

We offer cutting-edge, non-surgical therapies tailored to female hair loss. Our treatments are designed to stimulate natural hair regrowth, improve scalp health, and restore hair density without the need for surgery or long-term medication.

PRP Hair Loss Treatment

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair loss therapy is an innovative treatment that harnesses the body’s own natural healing properties to support hair regrowth. This non-invasive procedure can help slow down hair thinning and, in some cases, even reverse hair loss.

PRP is derived from your own blood, which contains powerful growth factors essential for cell regeneration. The process involves drawing a small blood sample, similar to a routine blood test, and separating it to extract the platelet-rich plasma. This concentrated plasma is rich in proteins that stimulate hair follicles, encouraging thicker, healthier hair growth.

Once prepared, the PRP is carefully injected into areas of thinning hair using a micro-needling technique. This method enhances absorption and activates the natural healing response of the scalp, strengthening existing hair follicles and promoting regrowth. PRP therapy is a safe, minimally invasive treatment that can address various types of hair loss, including:

  • Genetic hair loss (male pattern baldness)
  • Hair thinning
  • Stress-related hair loss
  • Alopecia

The procedure is quick, typically taking less than an hour, and requires little to no downtime, making it a convenient solution for men looking to restore their hair naturally.

PRF Hair Loss Treatment – A Next-Generation Solution

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) hair loss treatment is considered the next evolution of PRP therapy, offering enhanced and prolonged benefits for hair regrowth. Like PRP, PRF is extracted from the patient’s blood, but it is processed without anticoagulants. This allows the plasma to form a fibrin scaffold, which helps to sustain the release of growth factors over an extended period, providing longer-lasting results compared to PRP.

Benefits of PRF Hair Loss Treatment:

  • Slow and sustained release of growth factors, enhancing follicle regeneration over time
  • Higher concentration of platelets and white blood cells, further stimulating hair growth
  • Ideal for treating male pattern baldness, stress-related hair loss, and chronic hair thinning

PRF hair loss therapy works similarly to PRP, with micro-needling techniques used to inject the fibrin-rich plasma into the scalp. The gradual release of growth factors continues to nourish hair follicles beyond the initial treatment session, offering prolonged benefits.
