What Is the Best Treatment for Female Hair Loss? A Root-Cause and Regenerative Approach to Thicker, Healthier Hair

Hair loss in women is more common—and more emotionally distressing—than most people realize. Whether you’re seeing more hair in your brush, noticing a widening part, or feeling self-conscious about thinning around the temples or crown, it’s a sign that something deeper is out of balance.

The good news? Female hair loss is very treatable, especially when you take a root-cause approach and support the body’s natural ability to heal and regrow.

So, what is the best treatment for female hair loss? It depends on the cause—but the most effective results come from a combination of regenerative therapies and functional medicine.

Here’s what works—and how you can reclaim your confidence and fuller, healthier hair.

🧬 Step 1: Identify the Root Cause

Before choosing a treatment, it’s critical to understand why your hair is thinning. Common root causes include:

Hormonal Imbalances:

  • Perimenopause and menopause (estrogen/progesterone decline)
  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
  • Thyroid dysfunction (especially hypothyroidism)
  • Excess DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which shrinks hair follicles

Nutrient Deficiencies:

  • Iron (especially low ferritin)
  • Vitamin D
  • Zinc and B-vitamins
  • Inadequate protein intake

Stress and Inflammation:

  • Chronic stress and high cortisol
  • Postpartum shedding (telogen effluvium)
  • Autoimmune conditions (like alopecia areata)

Scalp Conditions:

  • Seborrheic dermatitis, buildup, or inflammation
  • Poor circulation and oxygenation of follicles

Getting comprehensive lab work to assess hormones, nutrients, and inflammation is often the first step in creating a targeted, effective treatment plan.

💉 Step 2: Regrow with PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Scalp Injections

One of the most effective treatments for female hair loss is PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)—a natural, regenerative therapy that uses your body’s own growth factors to stimulate dormant hair follicles.

How it works:

  • A small amount of your blood is drawn and spun in a special centrifuge
  • The PRF (rich in platelets, fibrin, and stem cells) is injected into thinning areas of the scalp
  • Over time, it stimulates hair regrowth, improves follicle strength, and reduces shedding

Why PRF works better than PRP:

  • No additives or anticoagulants
  • Slower, sustained release of growth factors
  • Fibrin matrix helps localize healing where it’s needed

Best for:
Women with diffuse thinning, receding hairlines, or postpartum/menopausal hair loss. Usually recommended as a series of 3–4 sessions spaced a month apart.

🔴 Step 3: Use Red Light Therapy for Scalp Rejuvenation

Red and near-infrared light therapy (630–850 nm) has been clinically shown to increase hair density, improve scalp circulation, and stimulate mitochondrial activity in hair follicles.

It’s painless, non-invasive, and can be used both in-clinic and at home.

Benefits include:

  • Stronger, thicker individual hairs
  • Reactivation of dormant follicles
  • Reduced inflammation in the scalp
  • Accelerated healing after PRF or microneedling

Best when combined with PRF to maximize results and improve treatment response.

💊 Step 4: Correct Nutrient and Hormonal Imbalances

Hair loss often reflects internal imbalance. Addressing those gaps helps you regrow and maintain healthy hair over time.

Key nutrients to optimize:

  • Iron (ferritin > 70 ng/mL) for hair growth
  • Vitamin D (optimal range: 60–80 ng/mL)
  • Zinc, biotin, and B12 for follicle strength
  • Protein for keratin production

Hormone-balancing support may include:

  • DIM or saw palmetto to block DHT
  • Myo-inositol for PCOS-related thinning
  • Thyroid support (if hypothyroidism is present)
  • Adaptogens (ashwagandha, rhodiola) to reduce stress-driven shedding

Functional medicine labs can identify exactly what your body is missing, allowing for a personalized supplement and lifestyle plan.

✨ Step 5: Enhance with Alma TED + Topical Growth Serums

Alma TED creates microchannels in the scalp using ultrasound technology. This promotes the stimulation of natural collagen production and enhance the delivery of growth serums or PRF directly to the hair follicles.

When paired with natural growth peptides or stem cell serums, Alma TED helps:

  • Improve hair thickness and density
  • Reduce miniaturization of follicles
  • Accelerate the effectiveness of topical treatments

Use as an in-office treatment series.

✅ Best Treatment Combo for Female Hair Loss

The most effective approach often includes a multi-layered plan:

  1. PRF scalp injections (monthly for 3–4 sessions)
  2. Red light therapy (2–4x per week)
  3. Alma TED with topical peptides
  4. Functional lab testing + targeted supplements
  5. Lifestyle support (nutrition, sleep, stress management)

This comprehensive strategy treats the root cause and the symptom—allowing hair to grow back stronger, longer, and more resilient.

Final Thoughts: Female Hair Loss Is Treatable

Hair thinning may feel frustrating and discouraging, but you’re not stuck with it—and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

With the right combination of regenerative therapies like PRF, red light, and functional medicine support, you can restore your hair’s fullness, confidence, and vitality—naturally and safely.
