Female Hair Restoration

The hair loss effects are not as severe in females and most of the time it goes unnoticed. While men tend to have obvious balding with large portions of the scalp free from any hair, women only go through thinning and complete hair loss from any part of the scalp is a rare event.

Causes of female hair loss

Known as female pattern baldness, the female hair thinning is caused mostly by the presence Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which is a male hormone present in both men and women. It is a hereditary condition that affects no less than 80% of the world’s population at some stage of life. However, other factors too can contribute to hair loss. Alopecia marginalis and trauma too can cause female hair loss. Dealing with this phenomenon in women is a little trickier than hair loss in men. For men, there are certain areas of the scalp (the back and side of the scalp) which are resistant to the ill effects of DHT. However, in women, these areas too are affected by this hormone and thinning also takes place in these areas.

Who is a Candidate for Transplant?

In the usual cases of hair loss, females with hair loss due to non-hormonal reasons can get hair transplanted. Hair loss that may be a result of a trauma like a severe injury or burn can be corrected with the hair transplant surgery.

Similarly, hair fall caused by alopecia marginalis can also be treated. This condition is caused by the use of braids and hair extensions over a long period of time hair loss typically takes place at the frontal regions on the scalp.

Who is not a Good Candidate?

Women who undergo thinning due to hormonal factors are not ideal candidates for hair transplants as the hair can undergo the same trouble in future due to the aforementioned reasons. Occasionally women experience balding like men and the traditional hair transplant may work. This is because they have a healthy donor area much like the opposite sex.
