Female Hair Replacement
Female hair replacement is a specialized sector of the
cosmetic surgery
industry. There are many causes for female hair loss and some of the treatments vary from those typically used for male pattern baldness. In fact, most women can be effectively treated for thinning hair or baldness without the use of invasive interventions. However, for those who do require surgery, today’s hair transplants offer excellent and incredibly satisfying results which are virtually guaranteed to breathe new life into any woman affected by hair loss concerns.
What is Female Hair Replacement?
Women can lose hair, just like men can. Sometimes, the reasons are the same, but other times, the reasons for unexplained hair loss can vary greatly. It is crucial to discover the actual source of the loss in order to effectively treat the condition. There are 2 primary approaches to hair loss in women:
* Methods which try to stop the loss from occurring and then work to regrow the hair which has been lost. These approaches are nonsurgical and usual very effectual for most female patients.* Methods which address thinning or balding areas by transplanting hair to the affected location using donor grafts from unaffected and dense growth regions.
Female Hair Replacement Options
Most women can be successfully treated for female hair loss using a combination of non-invasive therapies such as:* Dietary alteration can help women to stop losing hair and possibly even regrow lost hair. * Lifestyle changes, such as the style hair is worn, can actually prevent further loss and allow damaged hair to regrow naturally. * Hormone treatment can have drastic affects on female hair loss. * Pharmaceutical interventions can stop hair loss and reverse it in most patients. * Topical application of certain drugs, like Rogaine, can be highly effective for many women. * Laser skin treatments can help skin to regrow hair without surgery or drugs. * Topical herbal application may provide conservative effects for some women.
Female Hair Replacement Surgery
Surgical hair transplants earned a bad reputation in the early years, as grafts were unnatural looking and were often compared to the hair plugs used in children’s dolls… However, modern micrografts utilize 1,2 or 3 hair grafts which can fill in small or large thinning or balding regions without arousing any suspicion at all. Best of all is that these grafts can be harvested using the FUE technique, which does not require any surgery or scarring of the scalp at all. Grafts are plucked out and reinserted using only tiny pinprick incisions. For women with the most serious forms of baldness, scalp reduction may be required and may involve considerably more invasive surgery and potential scarring.
