Hair loss can manifest in many different ways. Some women begin losing hair after childbirth, others notice their part widening over the years, or feel their hair has lost density and volume for no apparent reason. Although the symptoms may seem similar, the cause can be completely different, and therefore, so can the treatment. That's why a medical evaluation is the first step in finding the most appropriate treatment.
It's common to experience more hair loss than usual after pregnancy due to postpartum hormonal changes. While this is often temporary, if hair loss persists for more than eight months, there may be an underlying problem.
En Hospital Capilar In Madrid, our medical team uses Tricometabolic, a proprietary protocol that combines trichoscopy with a hormonal and metabolic study to identify whether hair loss is related to telogen effluvium, female androgen alopecia, hormonal alterations or nutritional deficiencies and to define the most appropriate therapeutic strategy.
Menopause can cause hair to become thinner, lose volume, and decrease in density as a result of hormonal changes. However, these symptoms are not always solely due to hair aging. In addition to the decrease in estrogen, other factors can also play a role during this stage, such as nutritional deficiencies or female pattern hair loss that had previously gone unnoticed.
With Tricometabolic, our exclusive protocol for diagnosing female hair loss, we can determine what is causing hair loss and develop a fully personalized treatment plan for each patient.
Losing more hair than usual when washing it, frequently finding hair in the brush, or noticing a widening part are signs that often cause a lot of doubt and worry. However, these symptoms don't always point to the same problem. Stress, hormonal imbalances, certain nutritional deficiencies, or some types of alopecia can manifest in very similar ways.
Therefore, before starting any treatment, at our hair clinic in Madrid we carry out a complete study with Tricometabolic, which takes into account factors such as chronic stress, thyroid disorders, PCOS or nutritional deficiencies to establish a personalized therapeutic plan that acts on the cause and not just on the symptoms.
Hair loss in women can have multiple causes and is not always due to a single factor. Hormonal, genetic, nutritional, or stressful situations can disrupt the hair cycle and lead to a loss of density or more intense hair loss than usual. In many cases, similar symptoms can be due to completely different problems, so identifying the underlying cause of hair loss is essential for establishing an accurate diagnosis.
Female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is one of the most common causes of progressive hair loss in women. It typically manifests as a widening of the hairline, a decrease in hair density, and increasingly thinning hair, especially on the top of the head. It is a progressive condition that requires treatment to slow its progression and prevent further hair loss.
There are other types of alopecia that can also affect women and require specialized evaluation. Alopecia areata causes localized bald patches, while frontal fibrosing alopecia, increasingly common in women, typically affects the hairline and eyebrows. Early detection can help control its progression and allow for the most appropriate treatment.
Although many people mistake it for alopecia, telogen effluvium is a temporary hair loss caused by a change in the hair growth cycle. It can occur after periods of stress, illness, surgery, diet, or hormonal imbalances, and in most cases, it is reversible. Correctly distinguishing between the two is key to avoiding unnecessary treatments and addressing the underlying cause of the hair loss.
Before starting any treatment, it's essential to know what's causing the hair loss. Treating female pattern hair loss without an accurate diagnosis can lead to limited results or even cause the problem to worsen.
Therefore, in Hospital Capilar In Madrid, we have developed Tricometabolic, a proprietary protocol for diagnosing female hair loss that combines trichoscopy with an analysis of 27 key biomarkers related to alopecia and hair loss in women. This study detects alterations related to thyroid function, iron and ferritin levels, certain nutritional deficiencies, and hormonal balance. All of these are factors that can influence hair loss in women and that, without a specific medical evaluation, often go unnoticed.
With all this information, we develop a personalized treatment plan aimed at addressing the root cause of the problem, not just its symptoms. This way, we avoid generic treatments and can recommend the most appropriate therapeutic option for each patient from the very first consultation.
En Hospital Capilar In Madrid, our goal is not only to stop hair loss, but to understand why it is happening and offer you a solution based on an accurate medical diagnosis, a personalized treatment plan and continuous follow-up that promotes the recovery of hair health.
En Hospital Capilar In Madrid, the diagnosis and treatment of female pattern hair loss is handled by a medical team specializing in hair health. Each patient receives an individualized assessment to understand the cause of hair loss and establish the most appropriate treatment strategy. We also provide personalized follow-up to evaluate progress and adjust treatment as needed.

Yes, although it depends on the underlying cause of the hair loss. Some forms of hair loss, such as telogen effluvium, are temporary and reversible, while others require maintenance treatments to manage their progression. Therefore, the first step is always to obtain a diagnosis to determine the cause of the hair loss.
At our hair center in Madrid, we use Tricometabolic, a hair diagnostic protocol that combines trichology with a comprehensive analysis of 27 biomarkers. This study allows us to detect whether hair loss is related to androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or other hair pathologies.
Thanks to this comprehensive approach, it is possible to design a personalized plan that addresses the root of the problem and not just its symptoms.
Yes. Hair transplantation can also be an option for women, provided there is a medical indication and a suitable donor area. Before considering it, a personalized assessment is essential to determine if it is the most appropriate option or if there are other alternatives for restoring hair density.
No. Both trichoscopy and diagnostic tests are non-invasive procedures. Furthermore, treatments are tailored to each patient to make the process as comfortable as possible.
It's advisable to consult a specialist in female pattern hair loss if hair loss persists for more than two or three months, you notice a progressive loss of density, a widening of the hairline, or areas with reduced hair coverage. It's also recommended to seek medical evaluation if hair loss occurs after childbirth, during menopause, or after a period of stress.
Early medical diagnosis allows identification of the factors causing hair loss and the initiation of the most appropriate treatment to promote hair recovery and prevent further hair loss.
There is no single treatment for all cases of female pattern hair loss. The best option will always depend on the underlying cause of the hair loss and the individual characteristics of each patient.
Therefore, in Hospital Capilar We always begin by identifying the cause before recommending any treatment. Based on that assessment, the medical team can recommend therapies to stop hair loss, stimulate hair growth, improve hair density, or, when indicated, consider a hair transplant.
Female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) has a significant genetic component, although hormonal factors and age can also play a role. However, not all hair loss is hereditary, so a medical diagnosis is essential to identify the cause before starting any treatment.
Physical or emotional stress can trigger intense hair loss, known as telogen effluvium, by disrupting the normal hair growth cycle. While it is not usually the direct cause of androgenetic alopecia, it can make pre-existing hair loss more noticeable or accelerate its progression. Therefore, if hair loss persists for several weeks or you notice a progressive loss of density, it is advisable to seek a medical diagnosis to determine the cause of the hair loss and choose the most appropriate treatment.
It's normal to lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day as part of the natural hair growth cycle. However, if the hair loss continues for more than two or three months, or if you notice a progressive loss of density, a widening of the part, or increasingly thinning hair, it's advisable to consult a specialist. A medical diagnosis will determine whether it's a temporary process or a type of alopecia that requires treatment and will define the best therapeutic strategy for each case.
