When talking about the “permanent hair transplantation, many might think of hair transplantation in men, in contrast with the same operation for women that barely receive any attention. Still, hair loss and hair thinning problems are not gender-specific, and women might want to look for solutions as well. This article will investigate whether women can get hair transplantation, among other tips and knowledge about hair transplantation in women. Let’s find out!
Can women get hair transplants?
From the question “Can women get hair transplants like men?”, yes. Although hair loss or balding is more common in men than women, women who face the very same problem will lose confidence all the same.
3 Women’s problems that can be solved with hair transplantation
Wide Forehead
One of the nagging problems for many women, especially if they are into hair styling, is a wide forehead, or colloquially called “glossyhead”. This problem leads to poor stylability of the hair once tied.
Thinning hair
Aside from a wide forehead, some women might have thinning hair at the median line. Their confidence might plummet, and they might be too afraid of trying out new hairstyles, and have to cover the thinning area with their hair.
Surgery scars
For women that have done some cosmetic surgeries such as endotine facelifting, or received facial and scalp injuries, hair transplantation can cover these scars up.
What should women do for hair transplantation?
- Consult the doctor to analyze the problem and find the best way.
- If you have any congenital disease, or are on regular medication, please notify the doctor.
- Present the doctor with the hairstyle or hairline that you need as reference for designing.
Do women need to shave for hair transplant?
Normally, there is no need to wholly shave the head because the doctor will collect hair grafts from the donor area without the need to cut or shave. The grafts are then grafted in the problem area or area with sparse hair such as the median line, or scar areas. Hair transplantation can be done to enhance the facial outline.
End the confidence problem with non-shaven FUE technique.
The non-shaven FUE technique, alternatively known as the long hair technique is a hair transplantation technique that does not need haircutting, in contrast with the more traditional method that requires cutting or shaving of the nape to extract the hair graft. This method is developed to address the patients’ concerns about having to shave the head, and continue their business after the transplantation.
The steps of non-shaven FUE in women
- the non-shaven FUE is similar to the normal FUE but with a different hair graft harvesting method. This technique allows extraction of long hair graft using a punch and special graft collector.
- The doctor implants the graft along the hairline as agreed with the patient, taking around 8-12 hours per case, depending on the number of grafts.
How much for hair transplantation in women?
About the non-shaven FUE for women, the price depends on the hair problem and number of grafts, which will vary on a case-by-case basis. It’s recommended to see the doctor, talk about the problems and requirements before the operation, so that the specialist can give the best answer.
