Female hair loss is a diffuse thinning pattern in women. The approach carries hormonal nuances that differ from male-pattern loss, so the doctor reviews your full case before suggesting any treatment.

Treatments a doctor considers

A licensed doctor decides case by case. We never prescribe without evaluation.

Oral finasteride

A 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor taken daily. A doctor may prescribe it after reviewing your history and ruling out contraindications.

Oral minoxidil

Low-dose oral minoxidil, used off-label by some dermatologists. Requires close medical supervision for potential cardiovascular effects.

Topical minoxidil

Solution or foam applied directly to the scalp. Can be combined with other actives in a compounded formulation.

Dutasteride 0.5mg

A more potent 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. Reserved for specific cases, always under medical evaluation.

Spironolactone

Used off-label for female-pattern hair loss; see the practical guide for dosing and safety checks.

Personalised compounded formulation

An individualised preparation that can combine finasteride, minoxidil, tretinoin, or other actives, compounded by pharmacies after a medical prescription.

Hair-growth consultation

Answer the hair-growth questionnaire and a registered doctor reviews it. They decide whether treatment is appropriate, which one, and at what dose — and declining is a normal outcome. See what it costs and how the review works.
