Understanding Female Hair Loss

Hair loss is completely a headache for anyone. However, it is even more distressing for women. As you know, male type hair loss occurs especially in the frontal hair line, crown or a complete upper regions baldness. When it comes to women hair loss, they see a diffuse thinning in a particular area. Then it starts to get wider and the whole upper regions lose the density at the final.

Their scalp becomes visible regardless with the length of the hair. And this gives a lot of stress to women. What needs to be done is increasing the density in thinned areas.

What Causes Hair Loss in Women?

There can be several reasons which cause to female hair loss. Some of them are:

• Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, thyroid imbalance)
• Genetical background (yes, female pattern hair loss can also be genetical)
• Depression and traumatic cases
• Unbalanced and insufficient nutrition (especially lack of iron, protein and vitamin D)
• Autoimmune diseases (e.g., alopecia areata)
• Tying the hair very tight or wrong usage of hair styling techniques and products.

Diet also plays an important role in the conditions that will require hair transplantation for women. Because there is a link between the foods consumed and hormone levels. In order for the hair to remain strong, it is important that the vitamins and blood values ​​in the body are in the normal course, as well as the correct care practices.

Hair Transplant Techniques for Women

At Troy Hair, we are using the latest hair transplant techniques for women and men. There are typically two main hair transplant techniques. FUE and FUT.

FUT is not used anymore in Turkey. And we don’t use it as well. Because it is a very old technique and we have better replacements nowadays. We provide the most advanced and the latest hair transplant techniques for women. These are;

Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant (Regular FUE)

FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. In Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant we use sapphire blades for incision. Here are some outstanding points of Sapphire FUE

• Sapphire FUE is a better option if you are planning to cover a larger hairless or thinned area like whole upper top for example,
• No linear scars on donor area thanks to micro sized punches we use.
• Special blades used made of sapphire material to enhance a faster healing process in the recipient area.
• This techniques can be combined with PRP Hair Treatment or other stem cell treatment options to improve the outcomes and fasten the hair growth.

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)

Many people know it as DHI Hair Transplant. Another name of this technique is Choi Technique or Implanter Technique. Basically the extraction method is same with standard FUE. The difference is at the implantation stage. We dont need to open slit holes on the recipient area when we use this technique. Simply we extract the hair grafts from the donor area first. And then we load each graft to implanter pens. And implant them directly withour incision. Below is what DHI offers:

• No shaving required in the recipient area.
• Maximum precision in hair direction and density
• Quick recovery after the hair transplant
• Ideal for restoring the hairline in the frontal area and increasing the density in thinned areas.

Direct Hair Implantation Plus (DHI Plus)

This is the latest hair transplant technique. We can say that it is a hyrbid technique which is combined with slit (incison) and. Surgeon opens the slit holes (incision) first, and then the hair grafts are implanted by the latest implanters. The main differece with the classical DHI is, it is easier to load the grafts into the pens because of the ergonomical and smart design. You can find an easy-to-understand check list for DHI+ Technique below.

• Upgraded version of classical DHI Technique.
• Implanters are easy to handle and control for the staff.
• No need to load hair grafts by delicate forceps into the implanters.
• Can load the hair grafts into the implanter with one single move. That’s all.
• Higher survival rate for transplanted hair.
• Less trauma in the recipient area.
• Faster healing

Partial Shave Hair Transplant

This technique can be combined with all three techniques above. (DHI, FUE, DHI+)

And it also has two types:

a- Unnoticeable Partial Shaved Hair Transplant (Hidden Shaved Hair Transplant)

This technique is available when only the patient needs up to 1500-2000 grafts of hair transplantation. Generally we use it for frontal hairline re-design or lowerinf the hairline. We shave only a small part in the back of the head and extract grafts from that area. The upper hair covers that shaved area and it becomes unnoticeable in daily life.

b- Complete Donor Shaved Hair Transplant

This is not a common technique we use. It can be ysed for those who need more than 3000 grafts and don’t want to shave the whole head. In that case, we shave the donor site. Actually, this technique is more suitable for men. But still, we use it sometimes for women hair transplant as well.

Unshaven Hair Transplant (Long Hair Transplant)

Hair Transplant in Turkey is known with affordable prices. However, if you prefer this techniqe for hair transplant for women, you must be ready for paying at least 3 times higher price compared to other tehcniques. In this technique we have to extract the hair grafts from the donor area manually and one by one. Since we dont shave the donor area and the hair is long, we can not use microengine. And it takes longer time since everything is done manually. Here are some higlights of long hair transplant technique.

• Completely no shave neither at the donor area nor the recipient area.
• We extract the hair grafts as they are (long) and implant them to thinned areas in long form again.
• No noticeable signs of hair transplant surgery at all.
• More expensive compared to other techniques.

So, What Is the Best Hair Transplant Technique for Women?

Combining the DHI+ Technique with hidden shaved hair transplant is the best option for women hair transplant. Most women prefer this combination because of the followings:

• The healing process is faster.
• The results looks much more natural.
• Implanting new hair among the existing hair is possible.
• So that we can increase the general hair density in thinned areas.

When it comes to hair transplant for women, generally they dont want it to be noticeable. And that is only possible with unnoticeable shaved hair transplant (hidden shaved hair transplant) technique.
