Currently, there is no cure for female hair loss or baldness. But there are ways by which the problem can be fixed. Female Hair Loss Treatments in Gurgaon at SB Trichology might be able to reverse hair loss or at least slow down/prevent further hair fall/loss. The treatments include medications to allow natural hair regrowth, growth factor treatment, and surgery like hair transplant to provide lifetime hair coverage across the scalp.
Females can suffer from hair loss due to a lot of reasons. Many females go for hair styling that can be damaging. They may daily wear tightly pulled hairstyles or use chemical hair products to straighten or curl their hair on a frequent or long-term basis. They may also straighten their hair often with blow dryers and flat irons. All this makes their hair strands weak, causes them to break, and ultimately causes extensive hair loss. Other potential causes for hair loss in females include extreme emotional/physical stress or mental illness; hormonal imbalances during pregnancy, menopause, or use of oral contraceptives; an iron deficiency/anaemia; side effects of certain medications; restrictive diets or dramatic weight loss causing the temporary breakdown of the hair growth process.
