It used to be considered as strictly a male issue, but recent studies have shown that as much as 40% of the female population suffers from hair loss. Hair loss in women can affect confidence but fortunately, there is something that you can do about it. Antech is a hair loss treatment clinic in Toronto & Mississauga, and our experts can  treat female hair loss without drugs, wigs, surgery or needles.

We use Ludwig Classification to help describe the hair loss found in women. Female pattern loss of hair is different than male pattern baldness. A woman that has Type I hair loss experiences a small amount of thinning that certain hairstyling techniques can camouflage. A woman with Type II hair loss will notice that her midline part is widening noticeably and that she is experiencing quite a bit of hair loss. Type III hair loss includes diffuse thinning and you can see through the hair on top of the scalp.

Female Hair Loss Causes

A woman can lose hair for a variety of reasons including one or a combination of the reasons listed below:

• Nutrition and diet
• Hormone imbalances
• Improper or scalp hygiene
• Chemical damages
• Side effects of medications
• Stress
• Trauma to the hair
• Genetics
• Pregnancy

Overuse of Styling Agents

The list below shows the most common causes of hair loss in women that we see at Antech Hair and Skin Clinics. Women come in with a variety of symptoms or signs that may include any of the following:

• Hair texture changes
• Hair partition widening
• Extra hair loss
• Hair breaking, fragile and excessively dry
• Hair loss due to stress
• Soreness, tingling and burning of the scalp with accompanying hair loss
• Hair loss due to weather conditions
• Lifeless, limp or oily hair

It’s normal for everyone to lose hair and it’s estimated that we lose approximately 50 to 100 hairs per day. Once this amount is exceeded, however, you’re losing hair at an abnormal rate. You may notice more hair than normal collecting in your hairbrush or in the shower drain. You may also notice hair falling into your hands when running your fingers through it.

Fortunately, there is something you can do about this issue to see visible results. Visit Antech, the top hair loss treatment clinic in Toronto & Mississauga. To find out more about our techniques please call us at 905-362-0226 or visit our website at https://antechhair.com for more information.
