Hair transplant can be also suitable for women, the procedure can be a little bit more different than for men, but at the end it\'s the same operation.
Depending on which the type of hair loss a woman is experiencing our doctors decide if the surgery is a good option or not. The reason why hair transplant is popular among men is that the hereditary hair loss condition androgenic alopecia presents differently in cases of male pattern baldness compared to how female pattern hair loss presents in women.
In women the problem is mostly a general thinning which appears along the top of the head and at the temples. Women are more likely to notice signs such as their parting becoming wider, thinning at the temples and their feeling less full when they try to put it in a ponytail, as well as excessive hair shedding.
An example of when a hair transplant may be a beneficial option for women is in cases of cicatricial alopecia. This is where the hair follicles are damaged or destroyed by inflammation often caused by burns, but suitability for the procedure has to be decided on a case by case basis by an established surgeon.
