The Right Diagnosis Changes Everything.
Dr. Carlos Puig, DO — 50 Years Identifying the Real Cause of Hair Loss in Women.
Why Diagnosis Matters More for Women
For men, hair loss usually has one straightforward cause. For women, it rarely does.
Hair loss in women can come from genetics, hormonal shifts, stress, autoimmune conditions, or other underlying health factors — sometimes more than one at once. That's exactly why the first step isn't a treatment plan. It's a real diagnosis.
Dr. Puig has spent decades evaluating women's hair loss specifically, not treating it as a smaller version of male pattern baldness. Before any recommendation is made, he takes the time to understand what's actually happening — because the right treatment only works if it's solving the right problem.
The right treatment only works if it's solving the right problem.
Understanding Your Hair Loss Pattern
Female hair loss most often follows a gradual thinning pattern, classified using the Ludwig Scale — shown here from Type I (early thinning) to Type III (more advanced). Unlike male pattern loss, the frontal hairline is usually preserved.
This chart is a starting point, not a diagnosis. The right plan comes from an in-person evaluation with Dr. Puig.
Beyond Pattern Loss
Hair restoration isn't only for pattern hair loss. Dr. Puig also works with women on:
Hair loss or thinning caused by scarring from face lifts, brow lifts, or other surgical procedures
Eyebrow restoration
Eyelash restoration
If your hair loss doesn't fit the typical picture, that doesn't mean you don't have options — it means you need a physician who knows how to evaluate the full range of causes.
Real Results for Women

Every woman's hair loss has a story — genetics, hormones, stress, or something else entirely. Getting that story right is what makes a result like this possible. This patient came to Dr. Puig for a real diagnosis, not a one-size-fits-all prescription, and the difference is visible in her results.
Individual results may vary.
