Female hair loss is real, common, and routinely dismissed. We take it seriously, with a dedicated clinical pathway, a full hormonal blood panel, and treatments designed for women.
The female equivalent of the Norwood scale. Tap the stage that looks most like your parting.
Menopause, post-pregnancy shedding, PCOS, the most common triggers, and the most commonly overlooked. A clinician may include testosterone, DHT and estrogen.
The single most under-diagnosed cause of female hair loss. Standard GP tests often miss it because levels can be "normal" for blood but too low for hair.
Both overactive and underactive thyroid conditions cause shedding, often before any other symptom appears. The panel tests TSH, T3 and T4.
Genetic androgenic alopecia in women, gradual thinning over the crown while the hairline holds. Very treatable when caught early.
Where it is appropriate, a doctor may discuss medical treatment options with you. Whether any medicine suits you, and which, is a clinical decision made after you have been assessed.
Where a clinician considers it appropriate, other in-person treatments may be discussed with you as part of your plan. Suitability is decided after you have been assessed.
Iron, Vitamin D and nutritional support considered by your clinician in the light of your results, never guesswork.
FUE for suitable candidates with stable donor hair, discussed honestly at consultation. If it's not right for you, we'll say so.
Start with the assessment, or book straight in for a private consultation with our female hair loss pathway.

Is hair loss in women really that common?
Far more common than people admit, and nothing to be embarrassed about. The important part is that most female hair loss has an identifiable cause, and finding it changes what treatment makes sense.
Why is my hair falling out?
The usual suspects are hormonal changes, low iron stores, thyroid dysfunction and female pattern loss, and they are often mixed. That’s why testing comes before treatment: guessing wastes months.
What tests should I have for female hair loss?
A proper blood panel first: ferritin, thyroid function and the other markers that commonly drive shedding in women. You can read exactly what the panel covers on our hair loss assessment page.
Can women have hair transplants?
Yes, women can be excellent candidates when the loss is stable and the donor hair is strong. Many women are better served first by diagnosis and medical treatment, which is exactly why an assessment comes before any surgery is recommended.
