Hair Loss in Women
Not just a men’s problem. Unfortunately.
One in three women experiences visible hair loss. The causes range from hormonal changes to genetics and stress, and the treatments available today have never been more effective.

Causes
Why women lose hair
Unlike in men, female hair loss rarely shows up as a receding hairline. It appears as gradual thinning, the kind you only notice once it is already well advanced.
Hormonal changes
Menopause, pregnancy, coming off the pill, any hormonal shift can disrupt the hair cycle. During menopause, four in ten women are affected.
Genetic predisposition
In women, androgenetic alopecia shows as diffuse thinning along the parting. The hairline itself stays intact, which often makes it harder to diagnose.
Nutrient deficiency
Iron, zinc, biotin, vitamin D, deficiencies that often show in the hair first. Common after dieting, a restricted diet, or surgery.
Thyroid & stress
Both an overactive and an underactive thyroid can trigger diffuse hair loss. Chronic stress pushes follicles into their resting phase prematurely.
Post-infectious
After COVID-19 and other infections, many women experience telogen effluvium, heavy shedding that typically starts two to four months after the illness.
Treatments
Individual. Never one-size-fits-all.
Stimulation
PRP therapy
Your own blood plasma is prepared and injected into the scalp. Concentrated growth factors wake dormant follicles, naturally, with no surgery.
Nutrients
Mesotherapy
Hyaluronic acid, biotin, zinc and amino acids delivered straight into the scalp, where they are needed. No detour through the digestive system.
Stem cells

Your own regenerative cells reactivate hair cells and prompt new growth. One session, no downtime, measurable results within months.
Transplant
Sapphire FUE
V-shaped channels and no linear scar. Particularly well suited to women with longer hair who want the procedure kept discreet.
Robotics
ARTAS® iX
Computer-guided extraction holds the same precision from the first graft to the last. Gentle, consistent, ideal for densifying larger areas.
Discretion
Non-shaven
A transplant with no shaving, your existing hair stays long, and the procedure stays invisible.
Every treatment starts with an honest diagnosis, not a sales pitch.
