Understand how to know the right time to undergo a female hair transplant

The procedure is not reserved exclusively for men: women can also undergo a hair transplant

Hair restoration in women involves a surgical procedure that uses the patient’s own hair to fill bald areas or areas with thinning hair. Hair is transplanted from a healthy area of ​​the scalp to the affected area, resulting in fuller, more natural-looking hair.

According to the SBD (Brazilian Society of Dermatology), approximately 40% of people who suffer from some type of hair loss are women, an increase of almost 10% compared to the last three years. As a result, the number of women who have started to suffer with their self-esteem and confidence has also increased and female hair transplant has become a solution.

There are several causes that can cause hair loss in women, such as:

• Genetics: Female pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia is one of the main reasons why women choose hair transplantation. This type of hair loss usually affects certain areas of the scalp and can cause thinning hair or baldness.

• Surgical operations and accidents: Some women may experience hair loss due to scalp surgery, injury, or accident. In these cases, hair transplant may be an option to restore lost hair.

• Hair loss in the eyebrow: Many women suffer from lack of hair on their eyebrows, often due to excessive plucking. With eyebrow transplant you can say goodbye to defects!

Female hair transplant techniques

The techniques performed are the same as those for men: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) or FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation).

In the FUE technique, each hair follicle is individually removed from the donor area. The surgeon creates small holes in the recipient’s scalp and manually inserts hair follicles one by one. The scar is dotted and very detailed.

The FUT technique involves the removal of a strip of hair tissue from the donor area, which is then divided into individual follicles by the surgeon. The donor area is sutured, leaving a linear scar, which may be covered by surrounding hair. Then, hair follicles are inserted into the bald area with small incisions in the scalp.

“What I found very interesting is that women have opted for the FUE technique, as they don’t want to have a scar, not even under their hair. I thought they would prefer the FUT technique, so as not to have to shave the head, but we are doing the FUE technique more frequently, shaving the head in a more limited area of ​​the donor area. Fortunately, the hair covers the shaved area very well,” says Henrique Radwanski, president of the Brazilian Association for Hair Restoration (ABCRC).

ABCRC emphasizes that the procedure should only be performed by specialized dermatologists or plastic surgeons and in a clinic adequately prepared for this type of surgery. After a careful evaluation of the condition of the scalp and the quality of existing hair, the doctor will be able to discuss the best technique for each case.

Additionally, it is essential for women to have realistic expectations and understand that hair restoration may not be a solution for all cases of hair loss.
