Alopecia is an autoimmune condition that causes hair loss unexpectedly on your scalp, face, or body. Around 147 million people worldwide are affected by alopecia at some stage throughout their life.

When you think of hair loss, you may naturally imagine a bald male, but did you know it is totally common for women to experience hair loss from alopecia?
Like men, women can also go through pattern hair loss. Female hair loss is measured using The Ludwig Scale; this is a scalp micropigmentation examination scale from one to three to determine the extent of female pattern hair loss. Female hair loss presents differently from male hair loss as women's hair usually thins, rather than complete female balding. The best way to avoid further hair loss is by noticing the first signs. The sooner you seek a female hair loss solution from balding, like scalp micropigmentation, the sooner you can receive treatment to prevent further hair loss at Scalp Micro Arts in Wayne, NJ.
The three stages of the Ludwig classification system:
- Thinning begins at the top of the scalp or the crown. This type is mild and not as noticeable.
- There is noticeably more scalp showing, with significant hair loss on the top of the scalp or crown. This type is moderate and more noticeable.
- Hair is significantly reduced on the top of the scalp and crown. It’s the most severe type of hair loss. The scalp is very noticeable as the hair left is so thin that it does not conceal the scalp anymore.
