A female hair transplant is planned for suitable patients with an adequate donor area once the cause and pattern of hair loss have been clarified. Because hair loss in women often appears as diffuse thinning, the preliminary assessment is more thorough.
Why is hair loss in women different?
In men, hair loss usually becomes visible at the hairline and crown, whereas women more often experience thinning that spreads along the parting. Hormonal changes, iron deficiency, thyroid problems, the postpartum period, tight hairstyles or certain medications may play a role. For this reason, the cause of hair loss is investigated before a transplant is considered; blood tests and a dermatology assessment may be recommended.
Who may be a suitable candidate?
- Women with a high hairline or who wish to lower the forehead
- Those with a limited thinning area in a specific region
- Those with localised hair loss due to injury, burns or surgical scars
- Those with sufficient donor density and hair loss that is under control
For people with diffuse, active hair loss, treatment options are considered first; not every applicant is a suitable candidate for a transplant.
Unshaven technique and the process
For female patients it is often important not to shave the hair completely. When suitable, only a small strip in the donor area is trimmed, or an unshaven technique is used. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia; scabbing may occur in the first days and temporary shedding of transplanted hair in the first months. Results are usually assessed within 9–12 months and vary from person to person.
Preliminary assessment
You can request a free preliminary consultation by sending photos of the front, top and crown of your hair. The definitive plan is made individually after a medical examination.
