Hair Fall After 40 ? Causes, Treatment & Results by Dr. Smita Gomes at Neogenesis Hair & Skin Wellness Center

Hair fall after the age of 40 is extremely common, but it also becomes more difficult to control without proper medical guidance. Many men and women begin to notice sudden thinning, weak hair roots, receding hairline, and reduced hair density during their 40s. This is mainly due to hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, stress, aging, and lifestyle habits that slowly weaken the hair growth cycle.

If you are above 40 and experiencing consistent hair fall, it is important to understand that simple oils, shampoos, and home remedies may not be enough. At this stage, the scalp and follicles require medical intervention, advanced nourishment, and expert guidance. That is exactly where Dr. Smita Gomes, an experienced hair specialist at Neogenesis Hair & Skin Wellness Center, helps patients regain healthy and strong hair through scientifically proven treatments.

Dr. Smita practices at two locations:
📍 Serampore – FL-1F, Prayag Tower-5, 1st Floor, 449/A/2 Grand Trunk Road, Serampore, West Bengal 712202
📍 Kolkata – 1st Floor, 29B Doctor Lane, Maula Ali, Taltala, Kolkata, West Bengal 700014

Why Does Hair Fall Increase After the Age of 40?

Once a person crosses 40, several physiological and lifestyle-related changes start affecting hair health. These are often ignored until hair loss becomes noticeable. Some key reasons are:

1. Hormonal Decline

Men experience decreased testosterone and DHT-related hair thinning.
Women face perimenopause and menopause, which drastically reduce estrogen levels.
This hormonal imbalance weakens hair follicles and slows down growth.

2. Reduced Nutrient Absorption

With age, the body’s ability to absorb essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, biotin, and protein decreases.
This leads to brittle, weak hair that sheds easily.

3. Slow Hair Growth Cycle

The natural hair growth cycle becomes slower after 40.
Follicles take longer to regenerate, causing visible thinning.

4. Stress & Lifestyle

Career stress, family responsibilities, and aging-related tension contribute directly to hair fall through cortisol imbalance.

5. Thyroid & Medical Conditions

After 40, thyroid disorders, diabetes, BP medications, and autoimmune conditions become more common — all of which can trigger hair loss.

6. Scalp Aging

Just like skin ages, the scalp also becomes thinner, drier, and less elastic, affecting follicle strength.

These age-related changes make expert consultation necessary. That is why many people above 40 visit Neogenesis Hair & Skin Wellness Center to understand their exact cause and receive proper treatment.

What Should You Do If You Are Above 40 and Facing Hair Fall?

1. Get a Scalp Diagnosis

Self-treatment or using random shampoos will not help.
A professional scalp analysis is the first step to understanding the root cause.

2. Improve Nutrition

Include iron-rich food, omega-3 fatty acids, nuts, seeds, eggs, spinach, and high-protein meals.

3. Avoid Chemical Treatments

Straightening, coloring, keratin, and smoothening worsen age-related hair fall.

4. Reduce Stress

Yoga, meditation, walking, and proper sleep help regulate hormones.

5. Use Doctor-Prescribed Products

Anti-hair-fall serums, lotions, peptides, and oral supplements work better than over-the-counter products.

However, these steps alone cannot reverse advanced hair thinning after 40.
For long-term improvement, medical treatments by an expert like Dr. Smita Gomes become essential.
