While hair transplants are often associated with men, an increasing number of women are also turning to the procedure to address thinning hair and baldness. According to the ISHRS, women now account for nearly 15% of all hair transplant patients worldwide.
Female hair loss can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, and medical conditions like alopecia. Unlike men, who typically experience receding hairlines or bald spots, women often suffer from diffuse thinning across the scalp, making their cases more complex.
Dr. Sarah Mitchell, a hair restoration surgeon in London, explains, “Women often feel a lot of shame about their hair loss, but hair transplants can be a life-changing solution. The key is to identify the underlying cause and determine if they’re a good candidate for the procedure.”
Advanced techniques like FUE and Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) have made hair transplants more accessible and effective for women. These methods allow for precise placement of hair follicles, creating a natural-looking result. “The goal is to restore confidence and help women feel like themselves again,” says Dr. Mitchell.
