CAN FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT BE DONE ON WOMEN?
While most hair loss advertisements and products are targeted towards men, they are not the only ones who struggle with thinning hair. About half the hair loss clients in the United States are female and according to the AAD (American Association of Dermatologists), some 30 million women suffer silently, embarrassed by stress-related hair loss and bald spots.
Luckily, female hair loss can be treated with cutting-edge solutions such as ARTAS hair restoration and Neograft just as easily as male hair loss. The approach may be different for women, but the end result is healthier, thicker hair, and enhanced self-confidence.
What is the cause of hair loss in women?
Female hair loss can be the result of hormonal changes during menopause, or stress. It can also occur with weight fluctuations, pregnancy, thyroid conditions, surgery, injury, or scarring. Occasionally, female hair loss can be attributed to genetics, manifesting as androgenetic alopecia. Unlike the male pattern of a receding hairline, female hair loss happens all over the scalp in a uniform fashion. Identifying and diagnosing hair loss early is key, so you should see a medical professional right away if you notice changes in your hair thickness.
What happens during an FUE hair restoration session?
During Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) for women, the scalp is numbed with a topical anesthetic. Next, individual hairs are harvested from all over the head. This allows the result to appear natural. Each graft has about 4-5 follicles that are implanted in carefully chosen areas. No sutures are required for FUE with ARTAS or Neograft, and there is no linear scar left behind. Thus, this painless procedure has a swift, manageable recovery. It typically takes 2-7 days to heal after a hair restoration procedure.
