Female Hair Loss: Causes, Treatments, and How UKHT Can Help
Hair loss in women is far more common than many realise. Studies suggest that up to 40% of women experience noticeable hair thinning by the age of 50, with some developing more advanced forms of female pattern hair loss later in life. Unlike men, where baldness is often localised, women tend to experience diffuse thinning across the scalp, making it emotionally and physically challenging. As a leading hair loss clinic at UK Hair Transplants (UKHT), we understand how distressing female hair loss can be and we are here to provide effective, safe, and tailored solutions to restore confidence.
Understanding Female Hair Loss
Female hair loss can be caused by several factors, including:
- Genetics (Female Pattern Hair Loss) – inherited sensitivity to hormones that affect follicle growth.
- Hormonal Changes – pregnancy, menopause, thyroid imbalances, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
- Stress and Lifestyle Factors – poor nutrition, stress, or crash dieting.
- Medical Conditions and Medications – certain treatments, including chemotherapy, may trigger temporary or permanent hair loss.
Recognising the underlying cause is key to creating a treatment plan that works for each individual.
Non-Surgical Treatments for Female Hair Loss
At UKHT, we believe that surgery is not always the first option. In many cases, non-surgical therapies can slow down or reverse hair thinning.

BLT uses FDA-cleared low-level light devices that stimulate the hair follicles at the cellular level. The therapy improves blood circulation, increases nutrient delivery, and helps extend the growth phase of the hair cycle. Regular sessions can result in thicker, healthier strands and are especially effective in early to moderate hair loss.
PRP is a groundbreaking, natural treatment that uses your body’s own platelets to stimulate hair growth. A small amount of blood is taken, processed, and injected into thinning areas of the scalp. The growth factors in PRP activate dormant follicles, encouraging new hair growth and improved density.
- Specially Formulated Hair Care Products
To complement BLT and PRP, we recommend our medically formulated shampoos and serums designed to nourish the scalp, strengthen follicles, and reduce shedding. This multi-step approach ensures that every aspect of hair health is addressed.
Hair Transplant for Women
While less common than in men, some women may benefit from a hair transplant procedure. For example, women with receding hairlines, scarring alopecia, or concentrated thinning areas can achieve lasting improvement through Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).
At UKHT, we perform female hair transplants with precision and artistry, ensuring results look completely natural. We also offer large graft sessions—up to 4,000 grafts—when appropriate, making sure that even advanced cases can be effectively treated.
