Hair loss or alopecia, can impact anyone, irrespective of their age, gender, race, or ethnicity. It can be minor and temporary or severe permanent. Many factors, including genetics, environment, lifestyle, haircare routine, medical conditions, and medications/treatments, can contribute to hair loss. Though there are many remedies available for different types of hair loss, nothing is permanent and natural as a hair transplant, and it is the most popular treatment for hair loss in women in Gurgaon. Now the major question that comes to many people’s minds is “Can Hair Transplants Work for Women?” Well, the short answer is YES.

What is a hair transplant?

Hair transplant is a cosmetic surgery to permanently restore a head full of thick, healthy hair on the scalp. It involves the moving of healthy hair follicles from the back or side of the scalp to the hair-thinning, receding hairline, or balding areas of the scalp via FUT, FUE, or DHI approach.

Who can get a hair transplant?

In general, a hair transplant is meant for:

• Any adult with a stable pattern of hair loss and good general health

• Anyone with sufficient donor hair availability

• Individuals suffering from pattern baldness or scarring alopecia, not patchy hair loss

• Individuals having a clear understanding of what they can achieve from a hair transplant

• Non-smokers.

Will women be able to get a successful hair transplant?

Hair transplant is not a gender-biased operation. Similar to men's hair loss sufferers, women with hair loss can also undergo a successful hair transplantation with any surgical technique. Only if they are experiencing non-progressive hair loss and have sufficient healthy donor hair. Often, the traditional FUT approach is considered for hair transplant in women as it is a shave-less method. In cases where hair growth is influenced by hormonal fluctuations that women face, bringing hormones to normal levels is important before and during hair transplantation to ensure the desired surgical outcome.

Generally, women suffering from traction alopecia (hair loss due to tight hairstyling), scarring alopecia, and receding hairline/diffused hair thinning are good candidates for hair transplant.
