Hair Transplant for Women

Hair loss is generally regarded as to be a male-specific problem. However, contrary to popular belief, this problem also affects women worldwide. In addition to hair loss due to age-related hormonal changes and excessive styling, shedding may also occur due to drug treatments or genetic factors. Hair loss, which is considered normal, albeit partially, in men, deeply affects self-esteem and confidence for women. In order to annihilate this situation, hair transplantation can be performed on women by using many techniques. In this way, women can achieve the appearance they desire.

Who Are the Best Female Candidates in Hair Transplantation?

As a result of research conducted by experts, it has been determined that only a small part of women are suitable candidates for hair transplantation. These are:

• Women experiencing hair loss due to non-hormonal reasons
• Women who have hair loss in the hairy area due to a surgical reason
• Women who have a pattern of shedding, which we call male-pattern shedding
• Women whose hairline is pulled back
• Women with severe scars from accidents

Hair transplantation can be performed on women who meet these conditions by performing detailed examinations and necessary examinations. If there is a female type of hair loss, different treatment methods can be applied instead of hair transplantation.

How is the Hair Transplantation Process for women?

If the operation is decided after a detailed examination and evaluation, the preparation stage is started. After the blood tests, the hair in the donor area where the grafts will be taken is cut in a way that is not obvious after the operation. It is not necessary to cut the hair in the area to be transplanted. Grafts taken one by one from the donor area with a micro-motor are kept in a cold environment. In the second stage, canal channels are opened with surgical instruments to the needed area, and in the final stage, the grafts taken are placed in these channels one by one. After the operation, only the donor area is dressed, the transplant area is not dressed. After 1 day, the dressing in the donor area is removed and it is possible to return to daily life.
