TLDR Non-ablative Er:YAG-laser treatment helps improve life quality for menopausal women with hair loss.
The study highlights that Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL), also known as androgenetic alopecia in women, is prevalent among menopausal women, affecting up to two-thirds with hair thinning or bald spots. This condition significantly impacts their quality of life, leading to psychological issues such as stress, depression, and disrupted social relationships. The study suggests that non-ablative Er:YAG-laser treatment can improve the quality of life for these women, offering a potential medical treatment option to address the emotional and social challenges associated with FPHL.
