Hair is often closely tied to a woman’s identity and confidence. So, when thinning begins — whether it’s a widening part, reduced volume, or excessive shedding — it can feel distressing and confusing. At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC) in Dubai, we understand how emotional female hair thinning can be and how important it is to find both answers and solutions.
Fortunately, with modern dermatological care, most types of hair thinning can be effectively managed — especially when diagnosed early.
Hair thinning in women usually develops gradually and can occur across the scalp rather than in defined patches. Unlike complete baldness, it often shows up as a general reduction in density or volume.
The most common cause is female pattern hair loss, but several other factors can contribute — from hormonal changes to stress and nutritional imbalances.
Let’s take a closer look at the main causes.
Fluctuations in hormones are among the top causes of hair thinning in women.
At DRHC Dubai, hormonal evaluation is often part of the diagnostic process to identify these imbalances and correct them effectively.
Female pattern hair loss — also known as androgenetic alopecia — is largely genetic. It usually appears as diffuse thinning on the crown and top of the head. While it cannot be “cured,” it can be managed with advanced medical treatments that preserve and stimulate existing follicles.
Hair follicles require a steady supply of nutrients. Deficiencies in iron, zinc, biotin, vitamin D, or protein can weaken strands and slow regrowth.
In Dubai’s fast-paced lifestyle, poor diet or restrictive eating habits can sometimes lead to these deficiencies — making nutritional assessment an essential part of treatment at DRHC.
Emotional stress, lack of sleep, and physical strain can trigger telogen effluvium, a temporary shedding condition where more hairs enter the resting phase. Fortunately, once stress levels are managed, hair usually regrows.
Certain autoimmune disorders, such as alopecia areata, or medications for blood pressure, depression, or birth control, can contribute to thinning. Identifying the cause early helps in adjusting or balancing treatments safely.
At the Dr. Rami Hamed Center, every case of hair thinning is assessed individually. Treatment plans focus on restoring healthy hair growth while addressing the underlying causes. Below are some of the most effective and medically approved options available.
PRP therapy uses your own blood’s plasma — rich in growth factors — to stimulate hair follicles. The process involves drawing a small amount of blood, processing it, and injecting the plasma into areas of thinning.
Benefits of PRP include:
This treatment is especially effective for early to moderate hair thinning and is offered by our specialists at DRHC Dubai.
Medically approved treatments may include topical solutions or prescription medications to slow hair loss and promote regrowth. These work best when started early and are often combined with supportive therapies for enhanced results.
Our specialists assess each patient’s nutritional profile and hormone levels to correct any underlying imbalances. Supplementation, dietary guidance, or hormone therapy (when indicated) can make a significant difference in overall hair health.
This non-invasive therapy uses controlled light energy to stimulate follicles, improve circulation, and strengthen existing hair. It’s a safe and effective option for women who prefer non-surgical treatments.
In cases where thinning progresses to noticeable bald areas, FUE hair transplantation may be recommended. This minimally invasive procedure transplants healthy follicles from one area to another, offering natural-looking, long-term results.
At DRHC, our surgical team uses advanced techniques to ensure precision, comfort, and natural density.
