Female Hair Loss Treatment in Las Vegas: Causes, Hormones & Dermatologist-Approved Solutions, Dr. Kendall Egan MD, Las Vegas Integrative Dermatology

Female Hair Loss Dermatologist, Dr. Kendall Egan MD | Las Vegas Integrative Dermatology

Hair loss in women is common — and frequently misunderstood. Many women are told their thinning is “normal,” “just stress,” or something they have to live with. The reality is this: female hair loss is a medical condition, and when properly evaluated by a board-certified dermatologist, there are effective treatment options.

At Las Vegas Integrative Dermatology, we specialize in diagnosing and treating female hair loss using a medical, evidence-based, and integrative approach. Our goal is to identify why hair loss is happening and create a personalized plan to preserve and regrow hair whenever possible.

What Does Female Hair Loss Look Like?

Common signs include:

• Widening part line

• Thinning at the crown or top of the scalp

• A ponytail that feels thinner over time

• Increased scalp visibility in bright lighting or photos

• Excess shedding or gradual thinning with minimal shedding

  
  

Many women notice thinning long before they notice large amounts of hair falling out. Women need to lose 50% of their hair before other people notice.

Common Causes of Female Hair Loss

Female hair loss is usually multifactorial, meaning more than one factor is often involved.

Female Pattern Hair Loss

• The most common cause of hair thinning in women

• Driven by genetic and hormonal sensitivity

• Often worsens with age, perimenopause, or menopause

Hormonal Changes & Life Transitions

• Perimenopause and menopause

• Postpartum hormonal shifts

• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

• Thyroid dysfunction

Hormone levels may appear “normal” on basic labs, yet hair follicles can still be highly sensitive to hormonal fluctuations.

Stress-Related Hair Loss (Telogen Effluvium)

Physical or emotional stress can push hair follicles into a shedding phase.

Common triggers include:

• Illness or surgery

• Emotional stress

• Rapid weight loss

• Major life changes

Stress-related hair loss is often reversible, but early diagnosis is key.

Nutritional Deficiencies

Low levels of certain nutrients can significantly affect hair growth:

• Iron and ferritin

• Vitamin D

• Zinc

• Protein

These deficiencies are common in women and often overlooked.

Scalp Inflammation & Skin Conditions

A healthy scalp is essential for hair growth.

Conditions such as:

Seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff)

Psoriasis

Chronic scalp inflammation can worsen shedding and thinning if untreated.

How a Dermatologist Evaluates Female Hair Loss

A proper evaluation goes far beyond recommending a product.

Your visit may include:

✔ Detailed medical and hormonal history

✔ Scalp and hair shaft examination

✔ Review of medications and supplements

✔ Targeted lab testing when appropriate

✔ Discussion of lifestyle and stress factors

This medical approach allows us to treat the cause, not just the symptom.

Dermatologist-Approved Treatments for Female Hair Loss

Treatment depends on the underlying diagnosis and may include:

• Medical-grade topical therapies

• Oral medications when appropriate

• Microneedling for hair regrowth

• Anti-inflammatory scalp care

• Correction of nutritional deficiencies

• Integrative lifestyle and stress support

Treatment is individualized — there is no one-size-fits-all plan for female hair loss.

👉 Learn more about procedural options in our Microneedling for Hair Loss article.

When Should a Woman See a Dermatologist for Hair Loss?

You should schedule an evaluation if you notice:

• Thinning that continues longer than 3–6 months

• Sudden or excessive shedding

• Widening part or crown thinning

• Hair loss with fatigue or menstrual changes

• Scalp itching, burning, or pain

Early intervention leads to better outcomes.
