There is a myriad of reasons why a woman can either experience hair thinning or a complete loss. Unfortunately, the recommended processes which usually work on men might not have the desired effect on a woman.

Reasons For Female Hair Loss

The basic reasons linked to hair loss are mostly common in men. However, there is a lot more to the issue when it affects a woman. For men, usually it is factors such as trauma and genetics which are more prevalent. In women, it can often be an underlying medical condition or:

Using strong chemicals that damage the hair
Various diseases and illnesses
Questionable choices in life (lifestyle choices)
The childbirth process
Rare hormonal disorders
Extremely stressful experiences

The basic method used in hair transplant is that hair follicles have to be taken from donor areas located around the scalp. They are also known as stable sites which are usually on the sides of the head or at the back. The reason is that they experience little or no damage, which makes them suitable for the transplantation process, and they then continue to grow healthy hair.

Women have a hormone known as Dihydro-testosterone (DHT) which can cause diffuse hair loss. In this event, a woman will experience hair loss all over their head as opposed to just a few areas. At times, this means that the hair in the preferred donor sites is considered unstable for transplantation. Thus, removing hair follicles from the donor sites for recipient sites does not have the desired results for the patient.

The Best Candidates For Female Hair Transplantation

The female hair transplantation process might not be suitable for everyone, therefore, it is worth noting who is better suited:

Women who are not suffering from hormonal hair loss e.g. mechanical alopecia.

Women who experience baldness which resembles male baldness, usually at the top of the scalp.

Women who have experienced trauma from burns, accidents, and chemical burns.

Women who suffer from alopecia marginalis which shares similarities with traction alopecia.

Incision sites formed because of cosmetic surgery can also cause hair loss.

Women can have underlying dermatological and hormonal reasons for the hair loss. An advantage of consulting a professional is that they can examine the area and consequently advise on the issue appropriately. Sometimes they might even recommend other methods, such as medication to control hormones or a suitable diet change, among others.

The procedure

Female Hair Transplantation Procedures

If a patient is considered for the female hair transplantation procedure, the specialist then decides on either a DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) or FUI (Follicular Unit Extraction) procedure. A pre-requisite to having a successful procedure in either case, is that the donor areas should be healthy to enable the doctor to implant hair into the recipient areas. The number of procedures necessary is dependent on the extent of hair loss suffered by the patient.

Both procedures, the FUE and DHI, have always shown great promise, as the surgeon only creates small incisions and punches throughout the entire process. In this case, you will only experience mild soreness afterwards. If any complications arise, then you should promptly inform the surgeon so they can prescribe appropriately.

After the female hair transplantation, it is essential that your implants have adequate time to settle into the scalp. For this to happen, you have to follow through the post operative advice as prescribed by your doctor. Some of the requirements include avoiding alcoholic drinks, cigarettes, and most of all any hair treatments. Additionally, it is also advisable to avoid any form of head gear which might irritate the recipient sites.

There are many factors which could cause thinning or loss of a woman’s hair. In some cases this means the procedures that work on men would not necessarily work on women.
