Can women get a hair transplant?
Many women undergo hair transplantation in order to improve their hair as well as boost their self-confidence. Much like male patients, females suffering from hair loss need to be evaluated by an experienced hair transplant surgeon in order to determine if they are good hair transplant candidates.
Can your body reject a hair transplant?
There are some examples where patient physiology can be responsible for poor yield of hair transplant results. However, this is a very rare occurrence and it is usually difficult to distinguish from human error.
According to various studies that have been worldwide conducted, when it is not a result of an external error, a hair transplant that is simply “rejected” by the body is usually caused by post-transplant Lichen Planopilaris (LPP).
LPP is an inflammatory scalp disorder that normally results in patchy alopecia.
Luckily, these percentages are low and theoretical in nature. This makes worrying about something like this occurring probably unnecessary. In the hands of an experienced hair transplant doctor and medical team, hair transplantation is a very safe and successful procedure. However more importantly, the probability of the body developing a condition and “rejecting” a hair transplant is extremely low.
Do you have hair transplant services for women patients?
Yes. Women are able to undergo a hair transplant procedure without shaving their head with a hair transplantation method also defined as the DHI hair transplant technique, considered as the advanced version of FUE method. The term ‘without shaving’ means that the receipt site will remain unshaved but the donor area will be partially shaved.
As women wear their hair long, it is easier to perform this method. In conclusion, women can also benefit from a hair transplant surgery but it is important to diagnose the condition accurately. As with all hair transplant treatments, hair transplantation for women should be customized and planned according to individual specifications.
Hair transplantation that offers a permanent solution for hair loss, is the process of extracting follicular units from the donor area (taking place at the back of the head) that are genetically resistant to balding and transplanting into areas of hair-loss on the scalp. This procedure, which is carried out with minimal invasive methods, yields successful results in women with permanent hair loss conditions, as long as they have adequate amounts of donor supply. Hair transplantation stands out as one of the most favored treatments amongst women experiencing localized or male-patterned hair loss conditions.
As with all hair transplant treatments, hair transplantation for women should be customized and planned according to individual needs. For this reason, during your consultation session, with the correct planning carried out by a specialized doctor, it is very possible to grow back the hair that you have once lost. As Hu + Clinic, we offer hair transplantation services for women according to their individual specifications.
