FEMALE HAIR TRANSPLANT
Restored hair density, a harmonious hairline, and enhanced volume that results in a perfectly natural-looking feminine hairstyle.
WHAT IS A FEMALE HAIR TRANSPLANT?
A female hair transplant, typically using the FUE or DHI method, is a surgical procedure designed to treat hair loss or thinning, most commonly due to female pattern baldness. It involves harvesting healthy, permanent hair follicles from a dense donor area (usually the back of the scalp) and transplanting them into the thinning or balding areas, such as the crown or hairline. The goal is to restore density, create a natural-looking hairline, and provide long-lasting volume, often without the need to fully shave the head, which is a common concern for women.
CAUSES OF FEMALE HAIR LOSS:
Female hair loss can have diverse and complex origins, but the primary cause remains undoubtedly heredity. Women naturally produce male hormones, albeit in smaller quantities than men. In genetically predisposed women, even this small amount of androgens can be sufficient to trigger hair loss.
Hormonal imbalances play a crucial role, particularly after menopause. Contraceptives, pregnancy and the post-partum period can also disrupt hair growth cycles.
Stress and nutritional deficiencies (iron, zinc, B vitamins) can significantly impact hair health.
WHO IS SUITABLE FOR THIS TYPE OF TRANSPLANT?
A good candidate for a female hair transplant is typically a woman with stable female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) where the hair is thinning but the follicles are not completely gone. Crucially, the individual must have a sufficient supply of healthy donor hair on the back or sides of her scalp that is resistant to balding. Ideal candidates are also in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome, understanding that the goal is to increase density and improve the hairline rather than achieving a pre-loss volume in severely bald areas.
