Hair Transplant in Women

Hair loss in women can occur due to various reasons such as genetic predisposition, stress, hormonal imbalances, and poor nutrition. This condition significantly affects not only a woman’s physical appearance but also her psychological well-being. Especially the widening of the forehead or the thinning of hair may cause women to feel inadequate, socially excluded, and lead to a loss of self-confidence. Hair transplantation in women is one of the modern and advanced medical treatments that offers a permanent and natural solution to this problem.

What Is Hair Transplantation in Women?

Although male pattern hair loss is often normalized in society, hair loss in women can lead to serious aesthetic and psychological consequences. Women often try to conceal this condition using accessories like wigs, headbands, or hats, but these methods are temporary and superficial. Hair is not only an aesthetic element for women, but also a fundamental part of their identity and personal confidence.

Is Hair Transplantation in Women Different from Men?

Yes, it differs in many ways. The most notable difference is that the unshaven hair transplant technique is commonly used in women. Since women prefer to avoid a bald appearance during the process, only the donor area is shaved while the rest of the hair remains untouched. Moreover, since the facial structure, hairline, and forehead ratio in women differ from men, hair transplant planning is tailored accordingly to meet aesthetic proportions.

How Is Hair Transplantation Performed in Women?

Hair transplantation in women is most commonly performed using the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique. The steps are as follows:

• Hair Analysis and Planning: The type of hair loss is identified, and the donor area is selected.
• Donor Area Preparation: Healthy hair follicles are typically harvested from the nape of the neck.
• Harvesting the Follicles: Hair follicles are extracted using a micromotor.
• Opening Channels: Microchannels are opened in the recipient area according to the natural direction of hair growth.
• Implanting the Grafts: The collected hair follicles are carefully placed into the designated area.

The procedure takes approximately 6–8 hours. The number of sessions may vary depending on the patient’s needs.

• Not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
• No severe chronic illnesses or allergic reactions
• Anticoagulant medications must be regulated or discontinued if necessary

Things to Consider After Hair Transplantation

• Take care to avoid any impact to the head.
• Stay away from chemical-based cosmetic products.
• Refrain from heavy physical exercise during the first month.

Can Hair Be Dyed After Hair Transplantation in Women?

Yes, but only after complete healing of the transplanted area. This typically takes about 2–3 months. After that, hair dyeing, blow-drying, and curling can be done safely.
