There are several causes that can originate hair loss among women, namely traumatic causes, baldness and post-partum. When it happens, the hair transplant is, often, the only solution for a woman to get her hair back.
Hair being the best accessory of a woman, its loss or weakening can be devastating. However, thanks to the advances of medicine and technology, it’s currently possible to recover lost hair, and the best solution can be a hair transplant for women.
Before any hair transplant for women, it’s necessary to examine the patient’s case in detail. During this examination, a plan of action will also be established to determine what method should be used.
The procedure can be summed up in 6 steps:
1
Identification of the donor areas (areas with healthy follicles) and recipient areas (areas affected by hair loss).
4
Extraction of follicular units;
2
Application of local anaesthesia in the donor area;
5
Analysis and preservation of the follicular units;
3
Small incisions around the healthy follicles;
6
Implantation of the healthy follicular units in the recipient areas.

“I’m very happy with the transplant, I feel more beautiful. I feel like I boosted my self-esteem, and that was also noticed by people around me since they have been complementing me as well”
The hair transplant treatment is available for women who have healthy hair. We must take into account the area that must be treated: the size of the bald area or of the area with very fine hair is going to determine the number of follicles that will be necessary for a natural covering.
After the implantation of the follicles, the skin might get red and small scabs will appear on the points where hair was transplanted. On the fourth day after the treatment, the hair can be washed. During the first month after the transplant, the hair must be washed with an aseptic shampoo, that MediCapilar provides. During the first washes, the scabs will start to disappear, and the skin will start regenerating.
Just like the hair transplant for men, the hair transplant for women using the FUE method is carried out in one day and lasts on average 7 hours.
The hair transplant is painless, since the treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia.
It depends on the technique used to extract the follicles, as well as on the clinical data of each patient. In any case, during any hair transplant for women, the specialists are able to camouflage the donor area and keep as much as possible the extension of the original hair. We all know how important hair is in a woman’s appearance.
MediCapilar guarantees that practically (95%) all the transplanted hair will last for the rest of the patient’s life.
Approximately 90% of the hair will fall within the first 3 to 5 weeks. This is a natural process that happens after the transplant. After four months, the “new” hair will grow. On average, the hair will grow 1 cm per month. After six months, the patient will already notice a significant difference; she will start to see hair where there was only skin before. 12 months after the transplant, the final result is already visible.
Thanks to its many years of experience and hundreds of hair transplants, the MediCapilar clinical staff guarantees a natural result. And the hair transplant for women is no exception.
We recommend that you stop exercising for 2 to 3 weeks. After 3 weeks, you will be able to start exercising, but carefully. After a month, you may resume your usual activities.
Although it may seem strange, this is one of the questions our patients most frequently ask regarding hair transplants. Our specialists in hair dermatology always answer yes:
It’s well known that certain diets, smoking, or stress are factors that favour hair loss. That’s why the individual lifestyle can, sometimes, be a sign of hair loss.
Even after doing a hair transplant. We recommend you adopt a healthy lifestyle and follow the instructions of the team after the hair transplant to obtain a successful result.
Although the hair transplant is the only solution for the reconstruction and correction of the areas affected by alopecia, there are also high-quality dermatological treatments to prevent and treat baldness.
The mesotherapy, for example, is a hair biostimulation and nutrition treatment that consists in the subcutaneous administration of a preparation that biologically activates the cells of the follicular units, thus promoting the production of higher quality and more resistant hair. The technique is applied without the use of anaesthesia in several sessions adapted to the needs of each patient.
Another solution is the PRP treatment. It’s a technique that uses platelet growth factors to rehabilitate the follicles in the ageing phase and allow them to produce once again quality and resistant hair. It’s, therefore, a treatment that gives volume to the hair, an extra for those who like to show off their hair.
