Just for women

Why Me?

Female pattern hair loss can begin as early as the late teens to early 20s in women who have experienced early puberty. If left untreated, this loss can progress.

Research has shown that a woman in her 40s who complains of a gradual thinning over the past few years is more likely experiencing hair loss associated with perimenopause or the onset of menopause.

Feeling Ignored?

"Thirty million baby boomers are starting to lose their hair because of genes and hormones, making hair loss one of the most ignored yet widespread, problems among women."

Does anyone care?

Dr. Robert Leonard wants you to know that you are not alone. You are not alone if you are frightened by hair loss and you don't understand why you are losing hair. The patterns of hair loss in women are not as easily recognizable in women as in men. Female pattern baldness is progressive. If you do nothing about your hair loss today, you WILL have less hair at the same time next year.

Is it critical that you do something to stop this progressive condition?

I offer a great deal of personal education to all of my patients in this regard. It is obligatory for patients who are experiencing hair loss to do something proven to slow down its progression.

I welcome the opportunity to evaluate any woman who is concerned about losing her hair.

The Value of consulting Dr. Leonard

I feel particularly gratified in treating women with hair loss. My female patients tell me how embarrassed and depressed they are about their thinning hair. They don't feel comfortable in public without a hat and they are worried about participating in activities that will cause their hair to be windblown, and forget about going in the water at the beach or at a pool! They also confide in me that they are too ashamed to go to the hairdresser because others will see the extent of their hair loss.

The women I treat have increased self-esteem about their hair. What truly gives me great pleasure is facilitating their 'sense of feeling normal' again.

You have options

There are four options for treating women's hair loss:

1. Rogaine Topical Solution and Rogaine Foam: Rogaine is very effective to treat female pattern hair loss. It does very well to stabilize hair shedding as well as to regrow hair. Use Rogaine as Dr. Leonard recommends for best results.

2. Propecia: This medication is not F.D.A approved for women; however, in certain circumstances, it can be effective for women.

3. Low Level Laser Light Therapy: This is the newest treatment for female pattern baldness. It effectively decreases hair shedding and can regrow hair. I am the first hair transplant surgeon to offer the LUCE LDS 100 system in the United States.

4. Hair Restoration Surgery

One out of every four women experience female patter hair loss. It is a much more common condition than you think. Don't just sit there worrying about it. Contact Dr. Leonard to begin to learn how he can help you.
