What Factors Contribute to Female Hair Loss?

Hair loss can affect your body and scalp; hair loss can also be a temporary or permanent condition that emanates from genetics, a hormonal imbalance, medical conditions, or aging. Anyone can lose hair, even women. 

Individuals typically lose about 50 to 100 hairs each day. When you shed more than approximately 100 hairs a day, you’ll certainly notice some bald spots or a part of your hair beginning to thin or widen. As a result, you will likely experience female pattern hair loss. 

What Causes Hair Loss in Women?

Several factors can result in female pattern baldness: 

  • Anemia (iron deficiency).
  • Autoimmune diseases.
  • Depression or anxiety.
  • Genetics.
  • Medication usage.
  • Thyroid conditions.

ATERA FUE System

At The Hair Transplant Center – Virginia, our hair transplant surgeon and a team of hair restoration experts proudly offer the ATERA FUE system to provide lubrication for hair follicles at their root during extraction and moisturize them until implantation. This lubrication increases the hair graft survival rate and prevents damage to them. The ATERA FUE system features a digital counter to automatically record the number of hair grafts our hair restoration surgeon harvests.

Ellis FUE System

The Ellis FUE system offers an affordable hair restoration system that uses an automated punch device to enhance strip harvesting procedures. This punch can also serve as a stand-alone device in the case of a full FUE hair transplant. Ellis FUE technology enhances conventional FUE procedures to improve hair transplantation overall.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

Previously, hair transplantation procedures involved cutting a strip of skin from the back or side of the head and extracting individual hair follicles for transplantation to balding or thinning areas of the scalp. This technique was relatively effective. However, the procedure leaves an extensive scar at the site of the hair removal, often resulting in inaccurate placement of hair follicles at the recipient site on the scalp. 

With FUE hair transplantation technology, the desire to obtain no visible scars in the donor area became reality. Through FUE procedures, a hair transplant surgeon extracts hair grafts as individual follicular units. The process of hair transplantation remains the same as the “strip” harvesting method.  

At The Hair Transplant Center – Virginia, our hair transplant surgeon selectively harvests small follicular unit groups while leaving minimally invasive pinprick-sized marks on the scalp. Our hair transplant specialist will arrange these healthy follicles artistically at the target areas, allowing them to continue to grow while producing natural-looking results.

Injections to Address Hair Loss

Our hair transplant surgeon can address balding or thinning hair using other available treatment technologies. For example, by drawing a blood sample and purifying it in a centrifuge, plasma can be separated from blood. Plasma, which is rich in platelets and is responsible for blood clotting, can create a powerful serum that supports healing. 

When injected at the site of balding or thinning scalp areas, platelets stimulate your dermal papilla cells at the base of hair follicles. When activated, these follicles increase production of beta-catenin, the protein associated with hair growth. This protein supports hair follicles at their root, stimulating your body’s ability to grow natural hair. 

Topical Treatments for Female Hair Loss

Our hair transplant surgeon can help you treat hair loss problems with topical treatments that include finasteride and minoxidil. Minoxidil, often referred to by its brand name Rogaine, dilates blood vessels to permit blood to flow smoothly through them. As a result, a minoxidil treatment partially expands hair follicles and lengthens the growth phase of the hair cycle. 

Our hair transplant surgeon also provides finasteride (Propecia) to his male patients with male pattern baldness to eliminate miniaturizing hair follicles and stop hair loss. Finasteride works by decreasing DHT levels in the body, enzymes responsible for hair loss. 

While finasteride has not been approved by the FDA for female patients due to its link to birth defects, some studies have looked at its efficacy among women.

WAW FUE System

The WAW FUE system relies on a uniquely shaped extraction device that closely resembles the natural shape of a follicular unit. This design allows our hair transplant surgeon to extract a significant quantity of high-quality hair grafts without making a larger incision on the head and decreasing the risk of damage to healthy follicular units.

Benefits of Hair Restoration for Women

Hair loss in women frequently results in a much more pronounced hair loss condition than men because female hair loss is less socially acceptable. When you lose your hair, the loss of hair can severely impact your quality of life and emotional well-being. 

In women, androgenetic alopecia starts with progressively thinning hair at the part line, followed by diffuse hair loss at the top of the head. A woman’s hairline seldom recedes, and women rarely become bald. 

At The Hair Transplant Center – Virginia, our hair transplant surgeon offers some of the most extensive hair replacement treatment options. Our state-of-the-art facility in Northern Virginia and proficiency in hair transplant procedures deliver safe, efficient solutions to address hair loss.

Who’s Eligible for Female Hair Restoration Procedures?

Our professionals at The Hair Transplant Center – Virginia can help you determine whether you are an eligible candidate for female hair transplantation when you schedule a consultation with us. If the back and sides of your head produce healthy hair growth that can serve as donor areas, then you may be a prime candidate for a follicular unit extraction (FUE) treatment.

Preparing for Hair Restoration at The Hair Transplant Center – Virginia

During your initial consultation, our hair restoration specialist at The Hair Transplant Center – Virginia will provide clear instructions to help prepare you for the hair restoration procedure you desire. We ensure your health and safety before and after treatment by asking you to abide by the following guidelines:

  • Stop using hair styling products several weeks before your scheduled procedure.
  • Do not smoke a week before your hair transplant procedure occurs.
  • Stop taking blood thinners that may interfere with blood clotting.

Tell our hair transplant specialist about any medications you’re taking before any hair restoration treatment occurs.

Hair Transplantation Recovery and Results

Patients who have undergone FUE procedures say they are able to tolerate the pinprick-sized punches required to perform FUE hair transplant procedures. You may experience some amount of discomfort during the procedure, but our hair transplant surgeon can administer local anesthesia and a post-procedure pain medication plan. 

Achieving hair restoration is a journey, not a sprint. Growing your hair naturally takes time and commitment on your part. We remain committed to monitoring your hair growth progress and developing a hair treatment plan personalized to your needs. 

Our hair restoration experts at The Hair Transplant Center – Virginia can enable you to attain the look you desire.
