Understanding the Causes, Finding the Right Treatment

Hair thinning affects millions of women in the UK. It is not always well understood, and it is not something you simply have to accept.

The right approach to treatment begins with understanding the cause, because different types of hair loss respond to very different treatments.

Start by understanding the cause

Hair loss in women has more than one cause. Understanding which one is affecting you is the most important step before starting any treatment.

Why Women's Hair Thins

Hair loss in women has more than one cause. Understanding which one is affecting you is the most important first step.

Menopause & Hair Loss

Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause are one of the most common drivers of thinning in women over 45.

PCOS & Hair Loss

If you have PCOS, the associated hormonal imbalance can affect hair at the temples and crown. This is where spironolactone has strong evidence.

Medical Treatment for Thinning Hair

When the cause is hormonal, treatment can help

For women whose hair loss has a hormonal cause, our clinic offers Spiroxidil: a prescribed combination of spironolactone and minoxidil, available following a consultation with one of our hair loss doctors.

If you are not sure whether Spiroxidil is appropriate for you, a consultation is the right starting point.

Spiroxidil is a prescription-only medicine. Whether it is appropriate is determined following a consultation with one of our doctors, who will assess your suitability based on your medical history.
