Abstract
Female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is a common nonscarring alopecia characterized by progressive loss of terminal hairs. FPHL is a major concern for women and has a high impact on quality of life. Therapeutic regimen is often challenging and requires multiple combinations of topical, systemic, and interventional therapies to control hair loss and produce satisfactory hair regrowth. This article reviews common treatments of FPHL and their efficacy.
