What Is Female Hair Transplant? How Is It Different From Male Hair Transplant?

If you talk about hair loss, then neither females nor males are spared of its incidence and suffer from it equally. But we can definitely understand that it could be highly criticising for women as hair is the most valuable jewel that a women carry. 

Though the female hair transplant is less popular than male hair transplant, but it is equally effective and successful. It was also rumoured earlier that the hair transplant is only possible in males but the reality is that it is an equally successful treatment modality for hair loss in females too. 

Pattern Baldness in Females and Males 

Genetic hair loss is probably the most common cause for hair loss in men and women and is often termed as pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia. The pattern baldness in males is presented as the involvement of vertex area or the frontal area which enlarges to form a bigger bald area. The baldness in the advanced stage leave a band of hair at the back and sides of head. In females, the pattern of baldness is different where hair loss usually does not result in baldness instead the hair loss widens up the partition in the central area and involves thinning. 

As in females usually they do not face baldness and instead face hair thinning more often, the hair transplant is quite uncommon. 

Basic Procedure Of Female Hair Transplant 

The hair transplant procedure is basically a restorative procedure that involves the harvesting of the hair grafts from the donor area and then restoring the bald area by transplanting the harvested hair grafts permanently. The procedure requires the ample hair grafts harvesting from your own body from the specific regions of the body offering the permanent hair roots. The basic procedure of female hair transplant involves the following steps: 

1. Usually trimming is avoided in females 

2. Administration of the local anesthesia at the donor areas and the recipient site 

3. The harvesting of the hair grafts from the donor area holistically 

4. The preparation of the recipient site by micro slit preparation 

5. The transplantation of the hair grafts at the recipient site 

6. Post-operative instructions and follow up visits 

The hair transplant procedure in females is also performed using the similar techniques explained as follows: 

1. Strip technique or the FUT technique: The strip technique is performed by cutting a section of skinfrom the chosen donor area and then the section of skin is sent to the graft separation room for the further dissection and retrieval of individual hair graft. Each hair graft is then transplanted at the desired bald area designed specifically to obtain natural looking hairline. The donor area is sutured back using the advanced procedure termed trichophytic closure. 

2. FUE technique: This technique offers the harvesting of the hair grafts individually using a punch by inserting it into the donor area skin and pulling the hair graft. These extracted hair grafts are then transplanted to the desired bald area.

How It Is Different From Male Hair Transplant? Female hair transplant is distinct from male hair transplant as in females the no shave approach is highly demands for which the procedure become tricky and difficult. The micro slits are prepared at the recipient site in which the hair grafts are very carefully transplanted to avoid the damage of the adjacent existing hairs. The FUT technique is preferred in females as firstly the need of the numbers of hair grafts are more in females due to central thinning. Secondly, the no shave approach is easily possible with FUT technique.
