Hair Transplant for Women

 

Hair loss is not just a male problem - hair loss in women is common and has a number of causes. Female pattern baldness affects one in three women. Hair transplant surgeons can restore female hair loss using hair transplants methods and by lowering the hairline.

 

Female Pattern Baldness

Women may lose hair as a result of hereditary conditions, alopecia, stress or hormonal imbalances. Hair loss in women affects self-confidence and many women choose hair transplant surgery to restore their hair and boost their esteem.

 

Women who have facial plastic surgery, such as a browlift or facelift often find that their hairline appears receded after surgery. This is not hair loss, however hair transplant surgeons can lower a woman's hairline using hair transplantation methods. 

 

Hair Transplant for Women

Women usually have hair transplant procedures using the FUE method of hair transplantation. The reason for women opting for FUE rather than FUT is follicular unit extraction does not leave any visible scars.

 

The FUE method of hair transplant that offers good results for women who have bald patches, thinning hair or have a 'receding hairline' caused by hereditary conditions or plastic surgery procedures.

 

Hair transplant surgeons can perform a small hair transplant along the hair line only. This effectively lowers the hairline and reduces the appearance of the forehead.
