HAIR TRANSPLANT FOR WOMEN

While it is quite normal for each of us to lose between 50-100 hairs on our head each day, many women are sad and desperate to find that hair loss in women can accelerate for a number of reasons and lead to visible thinning or baldness. We often hear about baldness cures and hair transplants for men, and this is because androgenic alopecia – hereditary hair loss – does affect more men than women. However, ladies do make up at least 40% of hair loss clients we treat, with many experiencing at least some degree of noticeable hair thinning in mid or late life.

HAIR LOSS TREATMENTS

Though women make up a large number of our clients, most of them would never tell anyone that they’ve had a hair implant procedure done. Luckily, today’s hair transplant technology is so advanced that they will never need to share their secret. There is not the same casual acceptance of hair restoration procedures for women as there is when discussing facial beauty enhancements. Studies have shown that women experiencing hair loss can feel anxious and depressed to the point that their daily life and self esteem are greatly affected. Thanks to improved awareness and scientific advancements, today women get treatment more frequently with the same success and natural-looking results as men, using the industry’s best hair transplant technology.

HAIR GROWTH CYCLE

Human hair has a growth cycle with 3 phases: anagen, catagen, and telogen. The anagen, or “growth” phase can last up to 8 years and accounts for nearly 90% of the hair you see on the scalp at any given time. The hair follicle will shrink during the catagen phase which lasts between 2-3 weeks. Lastly, the hair follicle rests for a few months during the telogen phase. With 90% growing at any given time, only about 10% of our hair is shrinking or resting each day. Other than hair breakage which can certainly lead to hairs being left in the brush, on clothes and in the drain, hairs that fall out each day are expected, but not in large or increasing numbers. Women with hair loss may see a larger amount of hair than before. They typically see space at the crown and hair part in the middle and front of the scalp. Visualizing more scalp than usual at the temples and hairline is also a common sign of hair loss in women

FAMILY HISTORY & HAIR LOSS

This condition, which will tend to show up in family history as well, is characterized by hairs that fall out and are replaced with thin, finer hairs until the follicles shrink so much they regenerate no hairs at all. Hair which once felt strong and robust can become wispy and break easily. Looking closely at the scalp through a microscope reveals hair follicles that vary in size and indicate this genetic predisposition. Conversely,
when a close-up glance reveals that hairs and follicles are all roughly the same size, sudden hair shedding, or baldness is more likely to be related to a temporary, non-hereditary cause. The reasons can be medication, stress or a health concern. Telogen effluvium, is a medical term for temporary, dramatic hair loss related to temporary triggers.

HEALTH & HAIR LOSS

Considering a hair transplant procedure, your doctor will want to discuss your overall health. This will help him to narrow down the source of your changes. Certain medical conditions including dysfunctional thyroid may lead to balding and thinning. Abrupt weight loss and deprivation diets can cause the body to suddenly shed hair. Large amounts of vitamin A consumption can also trigger hair loss in women.
Anemia, or, Iron deficiency is common for many women and may have a relationship with thinning hair. As well, hormone levels shift during pregnancy and menopause, so these life stages may lead to sudden, noticeable hair loss. The good news is that these contributing factors are often temporary and so is their associated hair fallout. Dietary and topical hair growth solutions can be very effective in restoring healthy scalp function and healthy hair growth.
