Women Hair Loss

Hair loss in women may be caused by pregnancy, hormonal changes, stress, medications, thyroid problems, chronic health problems. It also can be observed gradually due to aging and genetic factors. Hair loss has numerous reasons.

The number of women who suffer hair loss is higher than expected, 40% of people who suffer hair loss after the age of 40 are women. Hair loss patterns in women are different, therefore different transplantation methods are preferred.

Unlike men, hair loss in women starts at the back of the head and the center, instead of the frontal scalp. Therefore, women hair transplant aims to increase the density of the hair that surrounds the face.

Men hair loss occurs in specific areas, so it is possible to take the hair follicles from the areas that haven’t lost hair. But in women, hair loss patterns are usually less defined, therefore it’s harder to determine the donor area or areas.

There are three different techniques:

1 – FUT Technique: It is the classical technique in Hair Transplant, in this technique, hair and skin are taken from the donor area and transported to the targeted area.The operation can takes around 3-4 hours.In this technique, 6000 grafts are transferred and you will have a scar of 8-9 cm width.

2 – FUE Technique: In this technique, the hair follicles are harvested and cultivated one by one. No skin is taken during this technique, unlike FUT, so there will be no scar after the operation. The duration of this technique varies depending on the number of grafts required.

3 – DHI Technique: In this technique, the hair follicles are transferred directly to the targeted area by a medical instrument called Choi pens. The extracted follicles are implanted in 1-2 minutes, this technique doesn’t require shaving and it is successful especially in making the hair denser. In addition, laser technique is also used in Hair Transplant and it is always a successful. Women Hair Transplant shows many differences, that is why the doctor’s experience plays a very important role determining the applied technique to get the best results.

Before the operation, the doctor gathers patient’s medical history and information about their lifestyle to try to determine the causes of hair loss. Because all of this information is needed to determine the most suitable approach to the patient’s specific condition it’s of utmost importance for the patient to be honest and thorough about the information that they provide. The patient must also express their expectations from the operation. The expected results must be specifically discussed for the most efficient and realistic management of expectations.

The patient must also inform the medical expert about any chronic diseases and medical conditions that they have. Especially anything related to blood pressure or coagulation.

Your doctor will do many tests, especially those tests related to anesthesia, and then start to plan for the operation. This procedure doesn’t require full head shaving.

Choosing the hospital that will carry out the operation is very important too and Turkey is one of the most successful countries in hair transplant. That is why 150-500 patients do Hair Transplant in Turkey every week,because of the availability of the full characteristics of this process such as appropriate cost, experienced doctors and high success rate.

  • Hair loss due to previous surgery or some cosmetic materials.
