Colorado by age: the years hair loss is common

Colorado's men skew toward working age: 1,275,616 are 25 to 54, 43.4% of the state's 2,942,568 men, against 39.7% nationally. In its nearest states the share is Wyoming 38.0%, New Mexico 37.8%, Utah 39.7% and South Dakota 36.7%.[ACS]

892,694 women are 40 to 64, 31.1% of Colorado's women and below the national 31.5%: the midlife years when, the American Academy of Dermatology says, female pattern hair loss usually begins. In its nearest states, women 40 to 64 are Wyoming 30.5%, New Mexico 30.4%, Utah 26.8% and South Dakota 29.3% of all women.[1][ACS]

Nationally, androgenetic alopecia affects an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women, and more than half of men over 50 have some hair loss. There is no state count, so this page does not estimate one.[2]

Dermatologist access in Colorado: above average

The NPI registry lists 362 dermatology providers practicing in Colorado. That is 6.2 per 100,000 residents, 12% above the national rate of 5.5, and 12th of the 50 states and DC. Put another way, roughly 16,100 residents of Colorado share each one. Matching the national rate would take about 322 providers for 5,810,774 residents, 40 fewer than Colorado has.[NPI][ACS]

About 57% practice in the Denver-Aurora-Centennial area, the largest metro; the other 43% are spread across the rest of Colorado.[OMB][NPI]

Two of Colorado's four nearest states have more dermatology providers per resident (per 100,000: Wyoming 3.3, New Mexico 3.1, Utah 6.3 and South Dakota 6.6).[NPI][ACS]

Against the three states closest to it in population (Wisconsin: 5,892,023 residents, 6.0 per 100,000; Minnesota: 5,713,716 residents, 6.7 per 100,000; Missouri: 6,168,181 residents, 5.2 per 100,000), Colorado has more providers per resident than two of them.[NPI][ACS]

Outside the Denver-Aurora-Centennial area, the nearest dermatology office may be farther from home; an online visit for pattern hair loss does not depend on distance. Hair that falls out suddenly or in patches, or a scalp that is sore, red or scaly, is best seen by a dermatologist in person.

Dermatology providers registered in the NPI registry, by practice location, October 23, 2026; dermatopathologists, physician assistants and nurse practitioners are not counted. Rates use ACS 2019–2023 population: good for comparing states, not an exact current ratio.

Hair shedding after pregnancy in Colorado

Colorado recorded 64,268 births to residents in 2024 (final NCHS data), a birth rate of 10.8 per 1,000 residents. The fertility rate was 51.6 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44, the 37th-highest of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: Wyoming 10.4, New Mexico 10.0, Utah 13.3 and South Dakota 12.4.[NCHS]

Shedding after a baby is common. Dermatologists call it telogen effluvium: it tends to peak around four months after birth and is temporary, and for most women hair is back to its usual fullness by the child’s first birthday, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.[3]

While you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, finasteride and spironolactone are off the table, and minoxidil tablets are not taken during breastfeeding. Thinning that outlasts the baby’s first year, or a part that keeps getting wider, is worth a physician’s look for female pattern hair loss. After breastfeeding ends, the options a physician may weigh are oral minoxidil, spironolactone, or a scalp spray mixed without finasteride (compounded, not FDA-approved).[4][5][6]
