Female Pattern Hair Thinning Story
This female pattern hair thinning story is a young female at age 28 had been experiencing hair loss and hair thinning with the hair thinning more noticeable at the front. She used to part her hair down the middle but could no longer do this as there was so much scalp showing. This had been progressing for 3 years and during that time she had visited a dermatologist who recommended Spironolactone, an anti-male hormone (anti-androgen) medication. This had helped for a while originally but now there was no further improvement.
There was also the birth control pill used to control acne since early 20’s, this is not a normal age for skin problems, so we suspected something else was going on. Also uncovered was an unexplained heavy cycle for 1 month which resulted in changing the pill, she remembers feeling very tired around that time.
Absolique Trichologist always checks bloods to make sure we are offering individual treatment that addresses your underlying causes. We found a slight low ferritin level at 64 not a state of hair loss and nearly enough for normal hair growth, we used food for ferritin. B12 was very low at 198, again we used food and a multivitamin, also low Vitamin D at 73 out of 150, the biggest contributing factor for hormonal hair thinning, hormone skin problems and healthy hormones. Past bloods showed the ferritin had been as low as 6 – 16 over a 2-year time frame 5 years earlier.
What people forget is ferritin at such low levels even 5 years ago create damage at a cellular level and this disturbs the hair cycle and causes changes to the hair cell. We could see this with the microscope which found we had near 50% of the total head hair diffusely not growing normally, we call this diffuse hair thinning. This was also happening in the female pattern hair thinning area which means the hair was battling two things in this area, this accelerates the pattern hair thinning at front, top and recessions.
Now understanding there were two things going on and work to do on nutrition, we put together a combination therapy approach addressing al symptoms and causes at the same time for 4 months. At or check in we could see much improvement in the hair, which is very exciting, but there is still work to do. Client was honest she got into a routine at first but dropped off after 2 months and had many other life and health things happening at the same time. We can just imagine how much more she could have achieve if she stuck to the treatment plan. With renewed excitement, she set off for another 4 months determined to do better knowing it will achieve the results.
