At the age of 60, actress Sue Holderness (best known as Marlene from Only Fools and Horses) has been plagued with severe hair loss since her 30′s.
She shared her story with the Daily Mail today.
Dr Peter Williams, hair transplant surgeon at The Hospital Group, was invited to comment. He said “With women, there are lots of different reasons, but with men, hair loss tends to be inherited.
Women tend to get thinner hair all over because as they age, they have less oestrogen circulating and this means they not only grow less hair but it becomes thinner too.
“You should check for low iron, thyroid problems, autoimmune conditions – all of which can cause hair loss. Often these issues can then be treated.”
The Hospital Group offers FREE consultations with hair experts and a range of treatments including drug therapy, cover-up spray and hair transplant. The Hospital Group is the UK’s leading provider of hair transplantation procedures.
