Female Hair Transplant
Hair Loss affects women, and it can be devastating. There are many treatment options for women. Depending on the cause of hair loss, a hair restoration specialist can recommend a hair transplant or medical hair treatment options.

Hair loss affects more than 100 million people around the world each year and it could be devastating, especially for women.  Experiencing hair loss in women can emotionally affect their self-esteem and have a psychological impact. A skilled hair transplant surgeon can evaluate and understand a patient's history, goals, and special needs to offer the most suitable treatment. For female clients, it is imperative to find the cause for their hair loss by a hair restoration specialist before committing to any hair treatment option.

Mostly, women are unaware that they are losing hair every day.  If hair is healthy and heredity is on their side then the hairs that fall off will usually be replaced by new hair and hair loss will not be noticeable. It is important to note that temporary hair loss may be due to several reasons.  should it persist, and appear permanent, it is important to consult a hair restoration specialist. A more advanced sign of creeping hair loss is definite thinning in the mid-scalp or frontal hairline. Androgenic Alopecia is a form of female pattern hair loss that is common among women with a family history of hair loss.

The most common cause of hair loss in women is genetic female pattern hair loss.  Genetic hair loss is inherited from either side of the family and begins to develop after puberty. The more characteristic female pattern hair loss is diffuse thinning over a considerable area of the scalp or diffuse thinning in a Christmas tree pattern over the center of the scalp. An advanced form of diffuse hair thinning is called Diffuse Alopecia.  

Some women can benefit from hair transplantation.  The procedure has a high rate of success in women and the great majority of women are very satisfied with the results. Usually, a combination of hair transplant and medical hair care treatment is needed for a comprehensive approach to female hair loss. Women that are not good candidates for hair transplantation may consider a series of oral hair vitamins, Minoxidil solution, Propecia, PRP for hair loss and ACell hairloss treatment options   However before deciding on any hair loss treatment, consultation with a hair loss specialist should be considered to plan out the best hair treatment options.
