Sinnonhyeon Station Hair Loss Clinic: Female Pattern Hair Loss, Will It Really Get Better If I Wait?

Hello.

I am Kim Da-jeong, the chief physician at Cordia Clinic.

Do you know what women I meet in the consultation room say most often?

‘I saw online that it would get better if I just left it alone, so I waited. But it seems like I'm losing more hair.’

That's exactly what they say.

In fact, there are quite a few misconceptions about female hair loss that we naturally believe.

And because of these misconceptions, many people miss the golden time for treatment.

I hope you'll read the article I've prepared today to the end and clear up those misunderstandings.

<Treatment Philosophy>

Misconception 1. Isn't it normal to lose hair after childbirth? It'll get better with time, right?

This is half true and half false.

During pregnancy, the female hormone estrogen is secreted much more than usual, and this hormone helps maintain the hair's growth phase, preventing hair loss.

However, after childbirth, this hormone drops sharply, causing hair that had been resisting the transition to the resting phase to fall out all at once.

Medically, this is called ‘acute postpartum telogen effluvium’.

It's common enough that about 80% of mothers experience it.

Hair loss usually peaks 2-5 months after childbirth and can naturally recover after 6 months to a year.

However, if recovery doesn't occur after a year, if the part in your hair gradually widens, or if there's a family history, there's a possibility that female pattern hair loss is also progressing.

Childbirth can act as a trigger, awakening underlying genetic or hormonal causes.

In such cases, Cordia Clinic first checks the current type of hair loss through scalp and hair examinations.

Misconception 2. It's due to stress, so if I relax, it'll grow back, right?

It's true that stress can cause hair loss.

When severe stress is experienced, a hormone called cortisol is secreted, which shortens the hair follicle's growth phase and rapidly pushes it into the resting phase.

That's why many people experience significant hair loss 2-3 months after major stressful events like big exams, surgeries, breakups, or childbirth.

This is called ‘telogen effluvium’.

The problem is that female pattern hair loss often occurs simultaneously in clinical practice.

While telogen effluvium causes hair to fall out evenly across the entire scalp, female pattern hair loss appears as a widening of the crown and part area, making it difficult to accurately distinguish which type you have.

Therefore, at Sinnonhyeon Station Hair Loss Clinic, we use 3D AFS equipment to precisely measure hair density.

Sufficient sleep, a balanced diet, and stress management are, of course, fundamental.

However, you shouldn't expect these alone to solve the problem.

If the amount of hair loss has increased and hasn't recovered after 3 months, or if your crown part has noticeably widened, we recommend seeking treatment at a specialized clinic like Sinnonhyeon Station Hair Loss Clinic.

Don't wait.

Do you see a common thread in these misconceptions?

It's ‘it will get better if I wait’.

However, once hair follicles begin to shrink, it's difficult to reverse, so early detection and prevention of progression are paramount.

At Sinnonhyeon Station Hair Loss Clinic, treatment is carried out by combining topical agents like minoxidil, nutritional prescriptions, and hair follicle injections in stages, based on precise examination results.

The important thing is to accurately know what type you have and how far it has progressed.

If your hair starts to bother you, that's already a sign that it's time to get a diagnosis.

I understand that sinking feeling in your chest every time you wash your hair, through my patients.

Rather than being anxious alone, you'll feel much more at ease by confirming your condition with an accurate examination.

If you're hesitant to visit, please feel free to leave a comment with your inquiry.

Tell me what symptoms concern you most and when you first noticed changes, and I will answer directly.

Thank you.

This was Kim Da-jeong, Chief Physician at Cordia Clinic, Sinnonhyeon Station Hair Loss Clinic.
