Hair Loss in Women: Causes and Best Non-Surgical TreatmentsBy New Look Institute, San Jose, CA

Have you noticed more hair on your pillow or in the shower drain lately? You’re not alone. Hair loss in women is more common than people think — and yes, it’s totally okay to talk about it. Whether you're seeing thinning at your part line or hair falling out in clumps, it can feel scary. But don’t worry — there are helpful treatments that don’t involve surgery or scary procedures.

Let’s break it down in a simple, easy-to-understand way.

What Causes Hair Loss in Women?

Hair loss can happen for lots of reasons. Sometimes it sneaks up slowly, and other times it happens fast. Here are some of the most common causes:

🧬 Hormones

• Pregnancy, menopause, and even birth control can change hormone levels.

• These changes can tell your hair follicles to stop growing new hair.

🧠 Stress

• Big life changes like moving, job loss, or a breakup can lead to hair shedding.

• Your body might go into “shock,” and hair growth slows down.

🍩 Poor Nutrition

• Not getting enough protein, iron, or vitamins? Your hair will notice.

• Crash diets and extreme eating plans can trigger hair loss.

🧴 Hairstyles & Products

• Tight ponytails, braids, or harsh chemicals can damage your hair roots.

• This can lead to a type of hair loss called traction alopecia.

🧬 Genetics

• If your mom or grandma had thinning hair, you might too.

• This is called female pattern hair loss, and it usually happens slowly over time.

Best Non-Surgical Hair Loss Treatments

You don’t need to go under the knife to treat hair loss. There are amazing non-surgical options right here in San Jose that can help you get your confidence back — naturally.

🌱 Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

• A safe, gentle treatment using light to stimulate hair growth.

• Feels like a warm cap — no pain, no downtime.

• Helps wake up sleepy hair follicles!

💆‍♀️ Scalp Treatments with a Trichologist

• A trichologist is a scalp and hair expert.

• They use tools to check your scalp health and recommend personalized solutions.

• Scalp detox, oxygen treatments, and more can improve your scalp’s condition.

🧴 Hair Growth Serums & Topicals

• Products like minoxidil (FDA-approved) can help grow new hair.

• Natural serums with biotin, caffeine, or essential oils are also helpful.

🧠 Stress Relief Techniques

• Meditation, yoga, or even a walk in nature can lower stress.

• Less stress = better hair growth.

🥗 Nutritional Support

• Add iron-rich foods, lean protein, and vitamins like biotin and zinc to your meals.

• Supplements made for hair health can support regrowth.

• Custom, non-surgical hair additions that look just like your own hair.
