It’s completely normal for females to notice changes in their hair as they age. Hormonal shifts, especially the drop in estrogen and progesterone during perimenopause, can lead to hair thinning and even noticeable hair loss.  

Losing your hair at any age can be upsetting, but when it happens alongside other perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, itchy skin, and brain fog, it can feel overwhelming and disheartening.  

At Este Medical Turkey, we understand how frustrating this stage of life can be for women. Our team of Turkey hair experts can help you determine whether your female hair loss is linked to perimenopause and offer advice on effective perimenopause hair loss treatment options. From managing thinning hair to exploring ways to support healthy hair regrowth, we’re here to guide you through it with compassion and expertise.

What is Perimenopause? ‍

Perimenopause is the life stage before menopause when a woman’s body begins transitioning out of the reproductive years. It’s marked by fluctuating hormone levels and changes in the menstrual cycle. This phase can last anywhere from a few months to several years, typically occurring between the ages of 40 and 50 — but timing can vary, with some women experiencing perimenopause earlier or later.  

What are Common Symptoms of Perimenopause? 

• Hair thinning
• Hair loss
• Facial hair growth
• Irregular periods
• Sleep problems
• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Mood changes
• Irritability
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Vaginal dryness
• Decreased libido
• Headaches
• Memory issues
• joint pain
• Itchy skin

This list isn’t exhaustive. As more and more women share their perimenopause and menopause experiences, healthcare professionals are identifying a wider range of symptoms that deserve attention and care.  

If you’re noticing changes like perimenopause hair thinning or a receding hairline, contact Este Turkey to book a hair regrowth consultation. We offer both surgical and non-surgical options to support new hair growth and restore your personal self-confidence.

What Does Hair Loss During Perimenopause Involve? ‍

Hair thinning, increased hair shedding, or a receding hairline is a common experience for many women during perimenopause, affecting nearly half of all females. The primary cause is changing hormone levels, especially the decline in estrogen and progesterone. These hormones help keep hair in its growth phase longer and contribute to stronger, thicker hair strands. As their levels drop, hair can become finer, grow more slowly, and shed more easily.‍

Perimenopause and Hair Growth Cycle 

Hair naturally cycles through growth, rest, and shedding phases. Estrogen and progesterone influence the duration of these phases. When their levels fall, the hair growth phase can become shorter, leading to noticeable hair thinning and a reduction in overall hair density.

‍What Else Contributes to Perimenopausal Hair Loss? 

In addition to female hormonal changes, other factors such as family genetics, chronic stress, and general female health can also impact hair growth. At Este Turkey, we encourage women to seek out experts to understand their individual female hair loss patterns. If you're noticing excessive hair shedding or hair thinning, it’s worth speaking with a GP or, ideally, a qualified hair loss specialist in Turkey. A specialist can help identify the root cause of your hair loss and recommend effective treatment options tailored to your needs.

What Causes Female Hair Loss?‍

Hormonal changes are a major factor in hair loss as women age, but they’re not the only reason. Many other causes can contribute to unexpected hair loss or excessive hair thinning and shedding.

Here are several common reasons for female hair loss:‍

• Family History: If you notice hair thinning along the hairline and temples, it may be female pattern baldness, a genetic hair condition that tends to run in families.
• Hair Style Treatments: Hairstyles that pull the hair tightly, such as braids or buns, can cause traction alopecia. Overuse of hot styling tools can also damage the hair shaft and weaken hair over time.
• Hormonal Changes in Life: Shifts in hormone levels during pregnancy or after childbirth can temporarily affect the hair growth cycle and lead to noticeable hair shedding. 
• Medical Conditions: Autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata can trigger patchy hair loss. Other health issues, including thyroid disorders or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), may also interfere with hair growth.
• Medications: Some prescription medications list hair loss as a side effect. For example, drugs used in breast cancer treatment can act as antiestrogens and contribute to thinning hair.
• Stress: High levels of physical or emotional stress can lead to telogen effluvium, a type of temporary hair loss that often follows major life changes or illness.

Hair Regrowth Options for Perimenopause Hair Loss‍

There are many effective options to support hair regrowth during and after perimenopause, ranging from non-surgical therapies to surgical hair restoration. If you're noticing thinning, excessive shedding, or a receding hairline due to perimenopause, help is available.

Non-surgical perimenopause hair treatments include:

• Minoxidil: One of the most common first-line treatments for stimulating hair growth and slowing loss.
• Scalp Dermal Rolling: Microneedling the scalp helps improve blood flow and increases product absorption.
• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Injections: Use your own blood platelets to stimulate natural hair regrowth.
• PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin): A newer, more concentrated version of PRP that releases growth factors over a longer period.
• Stem Cell Hair Therapy: Encourages regeneration at the follicular level, supporting healthier, stronger hair.
• MCT (Meta Cell Technology) for Hair: A cell-based treatment that promotes regeneration and strengthens hair follicles.
• Laser Hair Growth Therapy: Uses low-level laser light to boost circulation and stimulate hair follicles.
• IV Drip Therapy for Hair Health: Delivers essential vitamins and nutrients directly to support hair and scalp health.
• Exosome Therapy for Hair: An innovative option that uses cell messengers to trigger hair follicle renewal.
  

Surgical solutions, like hair grafting or a female hair transplant, can lower a receding hairline or fill in thinning areas once the active phase of hormone-related hair loss has passed. Este offers long hair or unshaven hair transplants that are very popular with our female clients.
