What causes female hair loss?
Female hair loss is often caused by hormonal changes, including those related to the menopause. Other causes include nutritional deficiencies, thyroid problems, and alopecia areata.
-
What treatments are available for female hair loss?
Minoxidil applied topically to the scalp is the most widely used treatment for female pattern hair loss. Hormonal treatments may also be appropriate for some women depending on the cause.
-
How long does it take to see results?
Hair loss treatments typically take three to six months before results become noticeable. Treatment must be continued to maintain any improvement.
-
Should I have blood tests for hair loss?
It is advisable to check for underlying causes such as iron deficiency, thyroid problems, or hormonal imbalances. Our pharmacists can advise on appropriate testing.

Can hair loss be a sign of a medical condition?
Yes. Hair loss can sometimes indicate an underlying condition such as hypothyroidism or anaemia. It is important to identify and treat any underlying cause alongside addressing the hair loss directly.
