Women's Hair Transplants

Many women experience hair loss at some point in their lives. While hair loss can be devastating, there are treatments available that can help. One such treatment is a hair transplant.

A hair transplant is a procedure in which hair is removed from one area of the scalp and transplanted to another. This can help to restore hair growth and thickness in areas where the hair has thinned or stopped growing altogether.

Types of procedures

There are two main types of women’s hair transplant procedures:

• Follicular unit transplantation (FUT): In this procedure, a strip of skin containing hair follicles is removed from the donor area. The strip is then cut into small grafts containing one or two hairs each. These grafts are then transplanted to the recipient area.
• Follicular unit extraction (FUE): In this procedure, individual hair follicles are removed from the donor area and transplanted to the recipient area. This method is often used for women who have only mild hair loss or who want to avoid a scar from a strip incision.

How is it performed?

Women’s hair transplants are typically performed under local anesthesia. This means that you will be awake during the procedure but will not feel any pain.

The first step is to remove hair from the donor area. This can be done via FUT or FUE. Once the hair has been removed, it is then transplanted to the recipient area. The transplanted hair will begin to grow within a few months and will continue to do so for the rest of your life.

Suitable candidates

Most women who are experiencing hair loss are suitable candidates for a hair transplant. However, there are some women who may not be suitable candidates. These women include:

• Women with severe hair loss
• Women with medical conditions that cause hair loss
• Women who are pregnant or nursing
• Women who have had a previous hair transplant
