Happy Head's Dermatologist-Prescribed Hair Loss Medicine Now Custom for Women
LOS ANGELES, April 12, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Happy Head today announced an exciting new initiative: addressing women's hair loss and hair thinning with custom topical Spironolactone treatments. Inspired by patients, Happy Head has expanded its product offering to specifically include women who are on their hair-loss recovery journey. This announcement comes at a time when Happy Head is building up leadership in both the telemedicine and customized hair loss treatment industries.
Hair loss is a condition that affects millions of people, causing intense psychological and emotional distress. And women make up more than 40 percent of those struggling with hair loss and female pattern baldness. However, women are often left with a limited number of treatments, and ineffective ones at that, for their hair-loss recovery journey.
Happy Head's newest effort involves helping women of all ages find effective solutions to hair loss. The program is available 100% online and features an entirely new landing page. One focus area of treatment is on the different medications available to women, which can vary depending on a woman's age. For example, their board-certified dermatologists customize topical treatments with highly effective ingredients like Finasteride or Spironolactone as a solution for women over 50, while women under 50 are mostly recommended Spironolactone
Women often struggle with hair loss after giving birth, a short-term issue often treated as a short-term beauty fix. But Happy Head thinks that the conversation about women's hair loss needs to become broader. This is a condition that affects women of all ages, and women need effective hair-loss options, no matter their age.
"There are several key differences between hair loss patterns in men and women," said Dr. Ben Behnam, M.D., FAAD, and cofounder of Happy Head. "These differences are essential to consider when it comes to making an effective treatment plan. For example, women tend to show gradual thinning at the temples, whereas men reveal an M shape at the crown and spots forming at the back of the head."
Hair loss can be caused by a variety of factors including genetics, hormonal fluctuations, vitamin deficiencies, chemical styling treatments, and alopecia to name a few. Clinical studies have shown that 40 percent of women with alopecia report having marital problems as a consequence, and 63 percent say they have had career-related problems.
"Women with hair loss have options," said Vera Koch, senior vice president of marketing at Happy Head. "Our dermatologists can prescribe a treatment that is customized to your individual needs. This is going to open up the conversation and, hopefully, create positive change in the narrative around women with thinning hair."
