Female Hair Transplant

What is hair transplantation?

Hair transplantation is a procedure where the hair is transplanted from one side of the head to the bald area of the scalp. The hair is usually moved from the back or side of the head to the bald scalp which is mostly in front or top of the head. This procedure is done under anaesthesia.

How is the hair transplant done?

• Your scalp is cleaned thoroughly.
• The surgeon then numbs the area of your head using a small needle and local anaesthesia.
• Follicles for transplantation are harvested through either of the two techniques:
• FUT (Follicular unit transplantation)
• FUE (Follicular unit extraction)

Female hair transplantation :

Female pattern hair loss is very different from that of male pattern hair loss.

Some causes for female pattern baldness are:-

• Genetic factors.
• Hormonal changes and medical conditions.
• Stress.
• Ethnicity.

If there is significant hair thinning and visible scalp, one can opt for hair transplantation.

• In females, we don’t shave off the entire hair. We only shave a tiny portion from where the hair has to be extracted
