Women’s Hair Transplant Surgery – All You Need to Know
Did you know that up to 50% of women experience hair loss at some point in their lives? Despite this, many women are unaware that they are excellent candidates for hair transplant surgery as a solution to thinning hair. On this page, you’ll find everything you need to know about female hair transplants, including the procedure, costs, and aftercare.
Female hair transplant surgery is a permanent solution to combat hair thinning and loss. Using the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique, individual hair follicles are taken from the back and sides of the head (donor area) and transplanted to areas of thinning or loss (recipient site).
Most female hair transplants address female pattern hair loss, which often occurs along the mid-parting. For more details on this, see information on the Ludwig Scale.
Beyond treating pattern hair loss, hair transplants can also be used for:
Unlike temporary solutions, hair transplants are the only proven method to restore hair growth in areas where hair previously stopped growing. While not a cure for hair loss, it is an excellent long-term solution for women experiencing thinning or baldness.
1. Preparation and Anesthesia
Before the procedure, a small amount of local anesthesia is applied to the donor area to ensure the process is pain-free.
2. Extraction of Hair Follicles
The surgeon extracts individual follicular units (1-4 hairs per graft) from the donor area using a micro-punch tool (0.8mm–1mm in diameter). These precise extractions minimize scarring and ensure high-quality grafts for implantation.
3. Implantation into the Recipient Area
Once extracted, the follicular units are implanted one by one into the recipient site, such as the mid-parting or other thinning areas. The process is carefully repeated to ensure natural placement and density.
4. Recovery and Healing
Thanks to the minimally invasive nature of FUE, recovery is typically quick, with most patients returning to normal activities within 7–10 days. Small scars from the extraction process are virtually unnoticeable, and hair begins to grow naturally over the coming months.
