Hair transplantation for women can be perceived as a major problem. But basically, this perception is not correct. The process should not be interpreted on the basis of "hair transplantation methods for men".

What Does “Hair Transplant For Women” Mean?

The causes, effects, and degrees of hair loss in men and women are different from each other. It is possible to explain the question of "what is female hair loss" by answering the question "Why is hair loss in women different from that in men".

In most women, this type of hair loss seen occurs from the front and middle, and this situation progresses over time. That is, the beginning sites of baldness differ. There are 3 types of hair loss in women. At the first level, hair loss is minimal and may not even be noticed. Hair loss starts at the top site of the head. Partial hair loss becomes more evident over time. The second type of hair loss is neither too little nor too much, it is at a normal level.

Hair thinning, volume loss, and regional hair loss can be seen. The third type of hair loss is defined as “extensive hair loss” and indicates a condition in which the scalp is visible. Bald areas can be seen clearly. Excessive hair shedding is observed rather than regional hair loss, and there is an intense thinning of the hair.

Why Do Women Experience Hair Loss?

“Androgenetic Aloepsi”, that is, genetic-based hair loss, means “male pattern hair loss” seen in women.

Genetic factors are mostly the main cause of this type of hair loss.

In addition to hereditary factors, hormonal disorders can also cause hair loss.

Conditions such as physical characteristics, nutritional disorders, environmental negativities, pregnancy, stress, depression, thyroid gland problems, chemicals in hair care products and hair coloring products, iron deficiency, aging, incorrect diet, menopause, and drug use can also cause hair loss.

Hair Transplantation Treatment For Women

There are various hair transplant methods special for women.

Medical substances such as drugs and serum, natural solutions, and operations can be applied.

Hair transplant treatment for women, like other hair transplant procedures, consists of several stages:

Consultation: The patient is examined. The doctor checks the hair site and informs the patient. He listens to the patient's expectations and asks for some tests such as blood tests, bilirubin tests, and hepatitis B.
Determination of the Site: The doctor draws and marks the thinning and baldness occurring sites, and shares the treatment plan in his mind with the patient with all the details. After the patient's approval, the operation phase is started. At this stage, the hair transplant method is also determined.
Operation: FUE technique is mostly used in hair transplantation for women. FUE is a technological method that enables the hair follicles taken from different parts of the body to be transferred to the hairless area.

Grafts are taken from the donor area (strong hair follicles are picked) and microchannels are opened in the scalp and the grafts are implanted there.

Recovery After Hair Transplant Procedures For Women

After the hair transplantation treatment is completed, the healing process begins. The hair should not be washed for the first two days after the operation. The first hair wash should be done in the clinic. At first, hair follicles become crusted, and the patient has to go back to the hospital for scab removal. This period is approximately 10 days and during this time, the patient must wash her hair every day. Over time, the hair begins to grow and become stronger. Within 6 months, more than 50% of the hair will have grown. The healthy and strong growth of all hair takes place between 8 and 12 months.

For the process to go well, it is a must that you follow the doctor's instructions. The doctor may ask you to use multivitamin serums and medications after the procedure.

The question of "Is hair transplantation for women permanent" is among the most frequently asked questions. Hair transplant results are permanent. Of course, it is important for the patient to be careful both in general and in the after-care process.
