About Female Hair Transplant

Although hair loss is often associated with men, it is actually a problem that affects individuals of all genders and ages and has been found to have significant effects on self-confidence. Female pattern hair loss can be related to many causes other than genetics. For example, giving birth, stress, hormones, vitamin deficiencies, certain diseases, side effects of medications are at the top of the list. In certain cases it is possible to treat hair loss, but sometimes this is not possible.

In cases where this is not possible, a female hair transplant operation can be considered. While female hair transplant can be applied to treat female pattern baldness due to the above reasons, it can also be preferred to lower the innately high hairline and automatically achieve a smaller forehead appearance. 

Hair loss in women is a very common problem that can be seen due to genetic, hormonal and lifestyle habits, and most of the time there is a solution. Hair loss in women may present differently from the pattern seen in men, including widespread thinning of the crown and parting areas. Women who do not suffer from hair loss but have a genetically receding hairline also choose hair transplant as a solution.

Who is Eligible For It

Hair transplant is one of the first solutions that comes to mind in female pattern hair loss. You can determine whether you are a suitable candidate for hair transplant by taking a look at the criteria below and get an online consultation immediately.

Female Pattern Hair Loss: Women with female pattern hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, are generally good candidates for hair transplant surgery. This type of hair loss, caused by genetic and hormonal factors, typically results in hair thinning at the crown and parting areas.

Healthy Donor Area: Suitable candidates should have a healthy donor area, typically the back and sides of the scalp.
Hair follicles harvested from these areas are typically more resistant to the hormone responsible for hair loss, dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Good General Health: Candidates must be in good general health and be transparent with their doctor about their medical information or regular medication. Any health condition or medication use may adversely affect the surgical procedure and the recovery process.

No Scalp Problems: Candidates should not have any active scalp conditions, infections or open wounds in the areas where hair transplant is planned. If you have problems such as Active Scalp Infections, Psoriasis, Dermatitis, Lichen Planus, Alopecia Areata, Scalp Keloids, Scalp Scarring or if you have been treated for any of them, sharing this with your hair transplant doctor will greatly affect the satisfaction of long-term hair transplant results.

Scars and Incisions

One of the advantages of each hair transplant technique used in women's hair transplant techniques is that it minimizes scarring compared to traditional strip or linear harvesting methods. However, it is important to note that all hair transplant techniques involve some small incisions.

Scars and Incisions in Female Hair Transplant Performed Using FUE Technique

  1. Donor Area Scarring: 

    The primary area where FUE involves incisions and potential scars is the donor area. In FUE Hairtransplant of these follicles:

    Micro Incision: Instead of a single long incision, FUE employs a series of very small, circular or elliptical micro-incisions in the donor area. These incisions are typically 0.7 mm to 1.0 mm in diameter. The size of the incisions is deliberately kept small to minimize scarring.

    Scarring: The individual micro-incisions in FUE are designed to heal with minimal scarring. These small, round or elliptical scars are often called “punch scars”. Scars are at the micro level and are not visible after recovery after hair transplant.

  2. Recipient Area Scarring

    The recipient area where the hair grafts are transplanted also has small incisions. However, these incisions are typically very small and heal quickly. They typically do not cause noticeable scars.

Scars and Incisions in Female Hair Transplant Performed Using DHI Technique

  • Donor Area Scarring: DHI aims to minimize scarring in the donor area where hair follicles are harvested (typically the back and sides of the scalp). The small puncture marks or incisions used for follicle extraction are usually quite small and not noticeable to the eye.
  • Recipient Area Scarring: The small incisions made with the Choi pen or implanter tool are designed to heal quickly and leave small, barely visible scars. The aim is to create a natural-looking hairline without visible scarring. For this reason, the scars in the recipient area in the hair transplant operation are too small to be visible.
