Specialist menopause hair loss &
scalp treatment in Perth
Hair thinning, increased shedding and scalp discomfort are common concerns during perimenopause and menopause. Hormonal changes can alter hair growth cycles, reduce hair density and affect scalp balance. Many women notice widening part lines, reduced volume, increased hair fall, dryness, itching or scalp sensitivity during midlife.
ClaraSana provides medical assessment and personalised care for hair and scalp changes related to perimenopause and menopause, identifying hormonal, dermatological and nutritional contributors to support healthier hair growth and scalp comfort.

Common hair and scalp symptoms in menopause
Hair and scalp symptoms in midlife can present in different ways. Some women experience gradual thinning and reduced volume, while others notice increased shedding or changes in hair texture. The scalp itself may become drier, more sensitive or prone to irritation.
Common menopause-related hair and scalp concerns include:
-
Hair thinning or reduced density
-
Increased daily shedding
-
Widening part line
-
Reduced hair growth
-
Dry or brittle hair
-
Scalp dryness or itching
-
Scalp sensitivity or discomfort
These changes are often multifactorial and may involve hormonal shifts, scalp health changes, genetics, stress or nutritional factors.
Hormonal hair thinning and shedding
Oestrogen helps maintain the hair growth (anagen) phase. As oestrogen declines during perimenopause and menopause, hair follicles may spend less time in active growth and more time in resting and shedding phases. This can lead to progressive thinning and increased hair fall.
Hormonal hair changes in menopause are typically diffuse (overall thinning) rather than patchy loss. However, pattern changes similar to female pattern hair loss may also emerge or accelerate during midlife.
Medical assessment helps determine whether hair changes are primarily hormonal or influenced by other contributing factors such as thyroid function, iron status or scalp conditions.
Scalp health and menopause
Hormonal shifts can also affect scalp skin. Reduced sebum production and altered skin barrier function may contribute to dryness, irritation, itching or sensitivity. Some women notice increased scalp reactivity to hair products or environmental factors during menopause.
Supporting scalp health is an important part of maintaining hair growth and comfort. Assessment may consider scalp condition, inflammation, dermatological factors and hair care practices.
ClaraSana also provides care for related skin changes that may occur during menopause.
