Female Pattern Baldness

Brief summary

Pattern hair loss, also called androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is considered the most common cause of hair loss in both males and females affecting approximately 85% of males and 50% of females over 50 years of age.

Detailed description

RF (Radiofrequency) based devices have also been shown to be successful in promoting hair growth, thought to occur through the induction of growth factors in the papillary dermis. Studying the effect of fractional needling radiofrequency in the treatment of female pattern hair loss will pave the way for more treatment options for this common disease.
