While hair transplant patients are typically male, the percentage of female patients at Timeless Hair Transplant Clinic has been steadily increasing. Female hair loss can be the result of heredity, hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications or just plain aging. In women, hair loss is considered a multifactorial genetically determined trait with both androgen-dependent and androgen-independent mechanisms.

Triggers can range from thyroid abnormalities and vitamin deficiencies to pregnancy, menopause, poor nutrition, medication and physical or emotional stress. Hair loss for women is considered a multifactorial genetically determined trait with both androgen-dependent and androgen-independent mechanisms.

Female pattern hair loss is characterized by diffused thinning, so hair is lost in defined patterns like thinning above the forehead and on the top of the head. The Ludwig scale measures the severity of the receding hair line and the evolution of androgenetic hair loss at women.

Dr. Sciacca expertly developed the “Select Shave FUE” for women; only a selected area at the back of the head is shaved and it can me masked thanks to the length of the hair that’s already present.  The operated area is not shaved and remains intact, so the patient can return to work the day after her operation.

With FUT, linear strip excision scars have become almost undetectable, and the results are more natural. This results in fewer complications and a shorter downtime, making patients more willing to undergo surgery.

The best ways to prevent hair loss are to protect hair from direct sunlight, avoid regular exposure to high temperatures and heated styling tools, and be gentle with your hair when combing it. Luckily, when these techniques fail, Timeless Hair Transplant Clinic offers a variety of treatments to support women with thinning hair!
