July 2026 in “Editora Pasteur eBooks” Alopecia de padrão feminino (APF) é a forma mais comum de perda de cabelo progressiva em mulheres, caracterizada por afinamento folicular difuso, especialmente nas regiões central e parietal do couro cabeludo. É uma condição multifatorial influenciada por fatores genéticos, androgênicos e ambientais, impactando negativamente a autoestima e qualidade de vida das pacientes. Recentemente, a tricoscopia tem sido utilizada como uma ferramenta diagnóstica sensível, e novas terapias, incluindo agentes orais e intervenções, têm melhorado o manejo da APF. A revisão aborda a fisiopatologia, mecanismos de miniaturização folicular, e diferencia APF da alopecia androgenética masculina. O diagnóstico inclui tricoscopia e exames laboratoriais para excluir condições como deficiência de ferro e disfunções tireoidianas. A terapêutica abrange tratamentos convencionais e emergentes, como microagulhamento e tecnologias baseadas em energia.
