According to the NHS, around 40% of women over the age of 70 experience Female Pattern Baldness. It is a hereditary condition and is therefore not something that can be prevented.
Women can also experience other types of hair loss which may not be hereditary and can result in thinning hair and bald patches.
Female Pattern Baldness is down to your genetic makeup. It is caused because your genes have given you a shorter period of hair growth and a longer period in-between the hair shedding and growth stages. Other forms of hair loss can occur due to changes in your hormones and stress levels.
When we use the Visia Digital Skin Analysis to assess your skin, we are using a tool that allows us to see deep below the surface layer of your skin and detect a multiple of potential concerns. This advanced technology allows us to pick up on issues such as spots, wrinkles, texture, pores, UV spots, scars, red areas, porphyrins and more.
