Hair loss in women can be caused by a variety of reasons, ranging from genetic factors to hormonal changes, stress and other environmental factors. Such hair loss can lead to aesthetic concerns and self-confidence problems.

What is Female Hair Transplantation?

Female hair transplantation is the process of taking hair follicles from the donor area and transplanting them to the areas where hair loss occurs. Unlike men, women usually have widespread thinning of the entire scalp and this affects the planning of the procedure. Female hair transplantation is applied by preserving the natural density and appearance of the hair and the results are achieved with a personalized approach.

How is Female Hair Transplantation Performed?

The female hair transplantation process consists of certain stages:

1. Evaluation and Planning: The cause and type of hair loss in women is determined by a detailed analysis. The specialist prepares a personalized plan by evaluating the density of the donor area and the area to be transplanted.
2. Anesthesia and Preparation: Local anesthesia is applied before the procedure. In this way, the patient does not feel any pain during the procedure. For women, unshaven hair transplantation is generally preferred so that there is no aesthetic difference after the procedure.
3. Collection of Roots: Hair follicles are harvested from the donor area by micromotor or manual method. During this process, care is taken to protect each follicle in a healthy way.
4. Canal Opening and Placement of Roots: The follicles are delicately placed in accordance with the natural hair growth angle. The naturalness of the hairline and aesthetic appearance in women are of great importance at this stage.

Advantages of Female Hair Transplantation

• Natural Results: The hairline and transplant angle are designed to preserve the natural look.
• Unshaven Application Option: Since hair transplantation can usually be performed without shaving, there is no significant difference in appearance after the procedure.
• Density Control: The desired density and volume can be achieved with personalized planning.
• Permanent Solution: Hair transplantation offers a permanent solution against hair loss.

Which Hair Transplant Methods Are Used for Women?

The main methods used for hair transplantation in women are FUE and DHI techniques:

• FUE Method: It is a technique in which hair follicles are taken one by one from the donor area and placed in the transplantation area. It allows for transplantation in larger areas.
• DHI Method: It is a method in which hair follicles are transplanted directly with the help of a special pen. It is less invasive and can be preferred for intensive transplantation in small areas.

Recovery Process After Female Hair Transplant

The recovery process after female hair transplantation may vary depending on individual differences. Usually, the patient can return to daily activities a few days after the procedure. It is important to be careful for the first few weeks to allow the hair follicles to fully settle and reduce sensitivity. It is normal for the transplanted hair to fall out in the first stage and after this loss, permanent hair begins to grow.
