Women and Hair Loss
Hair loss in women is far more common than many people realise — it affects up to 50% of women at some point in their lives. Yet it is often under-discussed and undertreated. At Galata Hair Clinics, we provide a safe, discreet, and highly personalised consultation and treatment experience specifically designed for women.
Female hair loss is different from male pattern baldness in its causes, pattern, and treatment approach. Our specialists understand these differences and tailor every treatment plan accordingly.
💜 You are not alone: Female hair loss affects millions of women worldwide. Our all-female consultation team ensures you feel comfortable discussing your concerns in a private, supportive environment.
Common Causes of Female Hair Loss
- Female-pattern hair loss (FPHL) — genetic thinning usually at the crown and top of the scalp
- Telogen effluvium — diffuse shedding triggered by stress, illness, surgery or hormonal changes
- Hormonal changes — pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, thyroid conditions
- Alopecia areata — patchy hair loss caused by an autoimmune reaction
- Traction alopecia — hair loss from tight hairstyles, braids, or extensions
- Nutritional deficiencies — iron, vitamin D, zinc or protein deficiency
- Scalp conditions — scarring alopecia, fungal infections
Treatments Available for Women at Galata
1. PRP / GFC Therapy
Our most recommended first-line treatment for female hair loss. Uses your blood's own growth factors to stimulate dormant follicles and reduce shedding. Highly effective for FPHL, telogen effluvium, and postpartum hair loss. No surgery, no downtime.
2. FUE Hair Transplant for Women
Suitable for women with stable hair loss, defined bald or thinning patches, and good donor hair density. Female FUE is highly specialised — unlike male transplants, women's donor hair often cannot be shaved entirely, requiring advanced "non-shave FUE" techniques.
3. Hairline Restoration
For women with a naturally high hairline or frontal recession, hairline transplant can lower and reshape the hairline for a more youthful, feminine appearance.
4. Eyebrow Restoration
Many women experience brow thinning from over-plucking, hormonal changes, or medical conditions. Our eyebrow transplant creates natural, permanent brows.
