Hair Loss treatment in Women

Hair Loss treatment in Woman with Iron Deficiency

A 45 year old woman was seen in US Hair Restoration Los Angeles Hair Transplant and asked about Iron deficiency and best hair loss cure. She said her dermatologist mentioned to her that she has male patterned hair loss. She is also diagnosed with Iron deficiency anemia. The problem is whether Iron deficiency in women cause hair loss in male patterned baldness and if so, can treatment of iron deficiency help reversing balding process?

Not having enough Iron either with or without overt anemia can definitely be the cause of hair loss in women. If the cause of hair loss was only iron deficiency and you are not genetically prone to anemia, hair loss could be reversible. However in many situations, patients are genetically predisposed to hair loss and Iron deficiency only accelerates the process. These patients should be seen by a good hair transplant doctor for evaluation of their balding status. Accelerated hair loss could be seen in both men hair loss and women hair loss, in which hair loss may not be reversed by simply correcting this deficiency.
