What is a female hair transplant?

A female hair transplant is a surgical procedure designed to restore hair in areas experiencing hair loss or thinning. This is achieved by extracting hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back and sides of the head) and transplanting them to the recipient areas.

Why do women undergo hair transplants?

•    Hereditary hair loss: This is the most common cause of hair loss in women.
•    Hair loss due to other factors: Such as stress, hormonal imbalances, certain medications, and pregnancy.
•    Hair thinning: A noticeable reduction in hair density.
•    Desire to change the hairline: Such as filling in gaps or changing the frontal hairline.

What techniques are used for female hair transplantation?

The most common technique used for female hair transplantation is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). In this method, individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area using a tiny punch.

What are the stages of a female hair transplant procedure?

1.    Anesthesia: The donor and recipient areas are numbed with a local anesthetic.
2.    Follicle Extraction: Individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area.
3.    Channel Creation: Tiny channels are created in the recipient area.
4.    Follicle Transplantation: The extracted follicles are transplanted into the created channels.

What are the benefits of a female hair transplant?

•    Natural Results: The transplanted hair grows naturally and blends seamlessly with existing hair.
