Can Women Also Benefit From Hair Transplantation?

Hair loss in women is not the same as hair loss in men. For women, the doctor much first establish the cause of hair loss.

After the results of the investigations and examinations have been carried out, the patient is operated with the same hair transplantation operation as performed on men. 

Further transplant treatments can be applied if weak hair follicles are detected after the hair transplant operation. Transplant is a good choice for  patients to increase the density of thinning areas.

The back of the head should be used as the donor area, as this is where the hair is most dense. Follicle and tissue enlargement procedures can be used in patients who suffer intense hair loss.

Male pattern hair loss in WOMEN:

TYPE I: Visible thinning of hair starting 1-3 cm behind the anterior hairline

TYPE II: Advanced thinning on the top of the head

TYPE III: Total baldness on the top of the head.

Differences between hair loss in men and women:

Hair loss in women starts later in life than men. As men age, the frequency of hair loss increases. There is no such increase in women. 

In men, the back and sides of the hair are usually protected but the front hairline and top of the head starts to get thinner.
