Leave your FAGA concerns to the BIANCA Method Beautiful Hair Project
FAGA (female pattern hair loss) is the general term for thinning hair in women. Unlike AGA (male pattern hair loss), which involves concentrated hair thinning in specific areas like the forehead or crown, FAGA is characterized by a loss of hair thickness, luster, and resilience, leading to overall reduced hair volume and increased scalp visibility. It is said that one in ten women today experiences FAGA, and the number of women troubled by thinning hair is on the rise.
Therefore, BIANCA CLINIC has launched the "BIANCA-Style Beautiful Hair Project" for women struggling with FAGA! For those who have pursued facial and body beauty through aesthetic medicine, the next area of concern is likely hair—a factor that significantly influences perceived age. Youthful, healthy, and beautiful hair connects to a woman's confidence and sense of happiness, positively impacting work performance and relationship building. For women aiming for beautiful hair, BIANCA CLINIC offers aesthetic internal medicine treatments. Rather than repairing damaged hair and scalp from the outside, we approach it from within the body to help you regain youthful, healthy, and beautiful hair.

CHARACTERISTICSTreatment for FAGA ① Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Hormone replacement therapy is a preventive aesthetic medical treatment based on the theory that supplementing hormones to approach optimal levels can prevent aging and disease. It replenishes hormones that decrease with age to restore the levels of youth.Return to Bell, addressing health, youth, and beauty from within and without.
The hormones used in FAGA treatment include estrogen and progesterone (luteal hormone), which are closely related to the health of women's hair. Hormone levels are checked via blood tests, and hormone preparations are prescribed only after confirming the absence of hormone-sensitive tumors. Regular follow-ups are conducted thereafter to monitor treatment effectiveness and side effects, adjusting the dosage as necessary.
【Estrogen】
A hormone that affects blood flow and scalp moisture levels, supporting hair's elasticity, shine, and resilience.
The estrogen hormone preparation is a topical cream.
【Progesterone】
A hormone involved in the growth phase of the hair cycle, supporting the growth of thick, long hair.
The progesterone hormone preparation is an oral capsule type.
AGA Treatment Method 2: Orthomolecular Nutrition Therapy
Orthomolecular nutrition therapy is an anti-aging treatment that uses blood and urine tests to determine the ideal diet and essential nutrients for each patient, then optimizes nutritional status through dietary therapy and supplements. It enriches the body from within for youthful, healthy, and beautiful hair. At BIANCA CLINIC, physicians specializing in orthomolecular nutrition therapy provide guidance on diet and supplements.
【Dietary Guidance】
We aim to provide appropriate nutritional therapy based on each patient's individual biochemical status.
We will focus particularly on blood sugar control and adequate protein intake.
Nutrient Supplementation Through Supplements
Optimize function by supplementing necessary nutrients through oral supplements or intravenous therapy,
We address metabolic issues.
【Lifestyle Habits】
Focusing on nutrients consumed through daily stress, exercise, and sleep,
We will provide suggestions on stress management methods and appropriate exercise.
FAGA Treatment Method ③ Hair Regeneration: Stem Cell Culture Supernatant Injection
Hair Regeneration Stem Cell Culture Supernatant Injection is a regenerative medicine treatment effective for regenerating aged cells and damaged tissues. Stem cells can differentiate into various organ cell tissues, making them a focus for health and anti-aging treatments. At BIANCA CLINIC, we utilize this treatment for thinning hair.
【How Treatment Works】
During the process of activation and proliferation of the extracted stem cells, hundreds of types of humoral factors are released into the culture medium.
The cytokines (regenerative factors) abundantly present in the culture supernatant act on hair follicle stem cells, which are the origin of hair matrix cells that produce hair. Therefore, it can be expected to promote hair growth, stimulate new hair growth, and increase hair volume.
【Using the "BellaVita" Hydrating Injection】
At our clinic, we use the "BellaVita" machine for hair regeneration stem cell culture supernatant injections.
The "BellaVita" device, which uses specialized needles, can automatically inject a fixed amount of medication at a specific depth, and is said to cause less pain and bleeding compared to other injectors.

RECOMMENDED POINTSCauses and Mechanisms of FAGA
FAGA occurs when the hair cycle becomes disrupted. The hair cycle refers to the repeating cycle of hair growth: the anagen (growth) phase, the catagen (transition) phase, and the telogen (resting) phase. For those concerned about thinning hair, the anagen phase is insufficient, preventing hair from growing strong enough before falling out. This gradually leads to noticeable thinning and hair loss.
The causes of disrupted hair growth cycles in women vary widely. Common factors include hormonal imbalances and poor blood circulation, while other potential causes include stress, excessive dieting, genetic factors, sensitivity to cold, shampoo, lack of sleep, menopausal disorders, and postpartum alopecia.
FAGA Hair Cycle and Healthy Hair Cycle
The hair growth cycle consists of three phases: the anagen (growth) phase, the catagen (regression) phase, and the telogen (resting) phase. Hair typically grows and sheds every 2 to 6 years. However, as hormone levels decrease with age, this cycle becomes disrupted. For example, a drop in progesterone shortens the anagen phase and lengthens the telogen phase. This causes hair growth to stop before the strands become thick, resulting in an increase in short, soft hair and hair loss. Furthermore, a decrease in estrogen leads to a loss of hair elasticity and shine, as well as reduced scalp moisture, ultimately diminishing hair quality and volume. While FAGA progresses slowly, it is crucial to restore a healthy hair cycle before it advances too far.
Symptoms and Progression Patterns of FAGA
The main symptoms of FAGA include hair becoming finer, increased hair loss, and a loss of overall hair volume on the head. Furthermore, the progression pattern of FAGA varies depending on the type.
【Ludwig Type】
This is said to be one of the most common types of FAGA, characterized by thinning hair from the crown to the back of the head.
・Type I: Hair thins from the front to the crown.
・Type II: The area of thinning hair is more widespread than in Type I.
・Type III: Similar to male pattern baldness, characterized by gradual receding hairline starting from the forehead.
【Christmas Tree Shape】
The type where the balding area takes on a Christmas tree shape, with thinning occurring between the hairline and the crown.
[Hamilton type]
This type of male pattern baldness involves thinning hair spreading in an M-shaped pattern, making the hairline appear as if it has been shaved back.
Things to keep in mind during FAGA treatment
Since lifestyle factors are also said to contribute to the onset of FAGA, strive to maintain a regular routine during treatment. During treatment, it is ideal to manage stress to avoid accumulating it, get sufficient sleep, and eat a balanced diet.
Additionally, engaging in moderate exercise can positively impact stress, poor blood circulation, and sensitivity to cold—all factors contributing to FAGA. Furthermore, exposure to ultraviolet rays can lead to skin oxidation and hair dryness, making UV protection essential to maintain the health of your scalp and hair.

Frequently Asked Questions About FAGA
Q&ADoes FAGA heal naturally?
FAGA rarely resolves on its own, and treatment is necessary when the cause is hormonal imbalance, aging, or genetics. Since FAGA often progresses while waiting for natural resolution, we recommend seeking early consultation at a clinic.
Can FAGA be self-managed?
If FAGA is progressing, it may be difficult to experience hair regrowth effects through self-care alone. To identify the cause of FAGA and receive appropriate treatment, we recommend seeking medical consultation at an early stage.
When should I start treatment for FAGA?
We recommend starting FAGA treatment as soon as you begin noticing hair loss or thinning. If left untreated, FAGA will continue to progress. Worsening symptoms can lead to longer treatment periods and increased costs.
How long does FAGA treatment take?
Treatment for FAGA does not produce immediate results, and the duration of treatment varies from person to person. Furthermore, if you stop treatment as soon as you notice hair regrowth, hair loss may recur. Please consult your physician for details regarding the treatment period.
When can I expect to see hair regrowth results from FAGA treatment?
It typically takes 3 to 6 months to notice hair regrowth effects from FAGA treatment, though this varies depending on individual progress.
How long is the consultation time for FAGA?
The initial AGA consultation takes about one hour, including the examination, medical history review, and tests. Subsequent appointments for explaining test results and treatment details, followed by treatment initiation, also take about one hour. Regular follow-up appointments require approximately 30 minutes each time.
What happens if you stop FAGA treatment midway?
Discontinuing FAGA treatment causes the condition to gradually progress again, reversing the return to a healthy hair cycle that had been underway. In most cases, the condition returns to its pre-treatment state within about one year after stopping treatment. Once a certain degree of hair regrowth effect has been achieved, it is advisable to transition to ongoing maintenance treatment or reduce medication dosage to sustain the results.
Can FAGA treatment be done while trying to conceive or during pregnancy?
Due to the potential risk of medications used in FAGA treatment affecting the body, treatment cannot be performed during fertility efforts or pregnancy. Individuals planning to try for a baby or expecting a pregnancy should wait until pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding are fully complete before starting FAGA treatment.
Can FAGA occur in people in their 20s and 30s?
The incidence of FAGA tends to increase with age, but it can occur regardless of age, meaning some individuals experience symptoms in their 20s and 30s.
