Hair loss in women often follows a different pattern from men: usually a diffuse thinning on the crown, with the hairline often preserved.
Find the cause first
Hormonal changes, iron or vitamin deficiencies, thyroid problems, stress and some medications can cause hair loss. Before considering a transplant, blood tests and a dermatological assessment matter.
Who may be a candidate?
- People with permanent loss in a specific area (for example scarring, traction alopecia or a receding hairline)
- People with a sufficient donor area
- People whose underlying cause has been treated and whose expectations are realistic
The process
After planning and hair analysis, unshaven or partially shaved techniques can be considered for many women. Aftercare and recovery are similar to those of men.
Not every diffuse thinning is solved by a transplant; the physician's assessment decides.
