Fearing stigma, women keep hair loss under their caps
When women want to remove body hair that they deem unwanted or unsightly, there's no shortage of creams, devices and businesses dedicated to that purpose.
On the flip side, however, there's a corresponding topic that's rarely discussed - or even acknowledged - but one that afflicts women of all ages: androgenic alopecia aka female pattern baldness.
According to the American Hair Loss Association, women constitute around 40 percent of hair-loss sufferers in the United States.
"There's a societal stigma that women feel when they lose their hair," explains Boca Raton dermatologist Dr. Marta Rendon, a nationally recognized hair-loss expert. "Because of this, many stay silent about it, never seeking treatment."
To combat this mind-set, the American Academy of Dermatology designated August as National Hair Loss Awareness Month. The designation comes just a month after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration cleared its first clinically proven female-hair-loss treatment protocol in nearly a quarter-century (more on this device in a moment).
