Female Pattern

Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL) is common balding in females, also known as Androgenetic Alopecia. Many women are affected by FPHL. In fact, around 40% of women by age 50 show signs of hair loss and less than 45% of women actually reach the age of 80 with a full head of hair.

FPHL progresses quite differently from the more easily recognizable male pattern baldness, which usually begins with a receding frontal hairline that progresses to a bald patch on top of the head. It is very uncommon for women to become bald following the male pattern unless there is excessive production of androgens in the body. However, some women may develop some hair thinning at the frontal hairline with normal aging.
