Hair Transplant Woman

In view of the fact that hair transplantation is an excellent option for almost 90% of the balding men, women believe that they will make a good hair transplant candidate as well, but this is typically not the case.

Small number of women has the type of hair loss that would make them good candidates, and that is because the majority of women have what is called diffuse hair loss. Meaning that women have an overall thinning in all areas of the head, including the sides and back, these are the areas that act as donor sites in men.

It is from these sites that the hair is removed for hair transplantation to other areas of the head. In men, the donor sites are called stable sites, which mean that the hair and follicles in those areas are not affected by the DHT that shrinks follicles elsewhere on the head.

In female pattern baldness, however, these donor areas are generally unstable. They are thinning, just like the other areas of the head. The donor areas in women are affected by follicle-killing DHT. That means that if you take away hair and accompanying follicles from these donor areas in women and transplants them to other areas; it’s just going to fall out. Every doctor who would try to transplant hair from an unstable donor site is unethical and just trying to take economic advantage of the patient.
