Hair growth can be compared to a garden. The quality of hair growth is a direct consequence of what happens in the scalp.
Although hair loss is mostly a problem for men, researches show that women also face hair loss or thinning hair. In their 50s and 60s, the majority of women experience hair loss for a variety of reasons. However, hair loss can occur at any age for women.
Scientifically, 50 to 100 hairs fall out in one day, which is considered normal for all women. However, this amount of hair loss is not noticeable because new hair grows under the scalp. Whenever this hair growth cycle is disrupted for any reason, hair loss or thinning of the hair is noticeable. Similarly, if the hair follicle is damaged by an accident, hair loss will again be inevitable.
Although the actual dynamics of hair loss are not fully understood, some indicators may be related to it. Stress, heredity, hormonal changes, certain
In hair transplantation in women, it is crucial to transfer hair from dense areas to balder areas. Hair loss in women can occur over the entire scalp, which is very different from hair loss in men. This barrier sometimes impedes women from benefiting from a full hair transplant treatment due to the lack of stable donor areas. In addition, because the baldness process varies more in women than in men, there are fewer donor areas in women than in men.
It is imperative to choose the right surgeon to perform the hair transplant in order to obtain a satisfactory result in the case of a female hair transplant. Before the operation takes place, candidates must pass blood tests to ensure that there are no obstacles to female hair transplantation. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is the method commonly used for female hair transplant.
Female hair transplant is a fragile process that requires specialized and delicate care.
Our team of specialists will guarantee the success of hair transplantation by analyzing and determining the reason(s) for hair loss and proposing the best technique to recover the original hair.
We mainly have two distinct techniques for hair transplantation in women. The initial method is called FUE, (Follicular Unit Extraction). The FUE technique consists in carefully transporting to the bald or thinning areas on the back or side of the head to minimize the possibility of scarring. The second, less commonly used method, is called FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation). This method will only be used if the FUE method is ineffective for the patient.
Women’s hair has the particularity of growing back after shedding, except in cases of male pattern hair loss and burning. In order to understand the true cause of hair loss, a doctor will be consulted and the necessary tests will be performed. Hair loss can be caused by malnutrition and the treatment procedure is therefore established accordingly: the hair loss stops and new hair replaces the lost hair. However, some of the measures taken may not work. In this case, the hair loss may be genetic in origin. The only solution will then be a hair transplant.
Hair transplantation is one of the most popular cosmetic operations for men. We can then think that it is only applicable to men, however, hair transplantation is an operation that can be performed on both women and men. Hair transplantation can be performed on any healthy person. Hair transplant operations performed by a team of experts are always successful.
Hair transplants are not dangerous for women. Nevertheless, as in any surgical operation, hair transplantation involves certain risks and side effects. However, these risks are not related to a person’s gender. To treat short-term side effects such as scabbing, itching, redness and bleeding, regardless of gender, in any person who has had a hair transplant, medication is provided by the doctors.
Before a hair transplant is performed, the patient is examined.
The necessary tests are performed on the patient. If the patient is suitable for a hair transplant, the planning phase is started. At this stage, the patient’s hair, hair structure, hair density in the donor area are analysed. The aim is to find out how the hair will grow back after hair transplant. If there is hair loss on the front of the hair, the front line is redrawn.
The hair transplant is done under local anesthesia. It lasts between 6 and 9 hours. Hair transplantation is an operation performed using different techniques. The doctor chooses the hairtransplant technique that best suits the patient. The most commonly used technique is the FUE technique. This technique is done in several steps:
The patient does not need to be hospitalized after the operation. Redness, crusts and itching may appear after the hair transplant, this is completely normal, no need to worry. These are the temporary effects of the operation. They are greatly reduced afterwards, especially during the first wash.
The first wash after the hair transplant is done by one of our specialists, in the clinic, about 3 days later. It is necessary to examine the transplanted hair follicles during the first wash. The patient may perform the following washes alone if all is well.
About 2 weeks after the operation, the stage called “shock loss” begins. The transplanted hair follicles at this stage begin to fall out. The shock phase is a phase experienced by almost everyone. New hair grows over time and replaces the hair that has fallen out.
After the hair transplant, it takes about 1 year to get the final result.
The first few days after the operation are particularly important. During this period, the transplanted hair follicles cannot maintain themselves sufficiently in their new location and therefore remain fragile. The hair follicles need time to get used to their new location and to settle in. That is why the patient must follow the rules given by the doctor.
The points to be taken into account after the hair transplant for a complete recovery, without damaging the hair follicles, are the following:
