Farah’s Story: Female Pattern Hair Loss and Telogen Effluvium Recovery

Farah’s hair loss issues: Female Pattern Balding and Telogen Effluvium

Farah, a woman in her mid-40s, came to us worried about her thinning hair. Diagnosed with both female pattern hair loss and telogen effluvium, she had lost around 30% of her hair density. Although her scalp was healthy, the dual impact of hormonal changes and stress-induced shedding had significantly affected her hair’s volume and made her self-conscious. Farah wanted to address the issue before it worsened and was determined to find a solution to regain her hair’s natural fullness and health.

Female Pattern Balding, what Is It?

Female Pattern Balding (FPB), also known as Androgenetic Alopecia in women, is a hereditary condition characterised by gradually thinning hair on the scalp. Unlike male pattern baldness, which typically presents as a receding hairline, FPB generally causes diffuse thinning across the top of the scalp, sparing the frontal hairline.

What is Telogen Effluvium?

Telogen Effluvium occurs when the hair’s growing phase is interrupted prematurely, causing the hair follicles to enter the telogen (resting) phase of the hair cycle earlier than expected. Following the regular cyclic pattern, diffuse shedding of the hair begins two to four months later.
