Why women lose hair
- Androgenetic alopecia — the most common cause, tied to genetics and hormonal change.
- Traumatic alopecia — hair loss from injury, burns, and scarring.
- Traction alopecia — from constant tension on the hair, like tight hairstyles and extensions.
- Medication- and hormone-related — linked to certain drugs, pregnancy, or menopause.
Why diagnosis is harder than for men
With diffuse thinning, the doctor checks density across the whole scalp, not just the back of the head — the donor area in women can be affected too, and that decides whether a transplant is possible at all.
Before any talk of surgery, it's important to rule out scalp skin conditions and confirm the loss isn't linked to something treatable medically. A transplant doesn't fix a hormonal or drug-related cause — it only relocates hair.
What's usually restored
- The front hairline and temples — when the forehead has visually "grown".
- The parting and crown with diffuse thinning.
- Areas after injury, burns, and surgery, including facelift scars.
The head isn't shaved for the surgery: hair is taken from the donor area in a way that stays hidden under the rest of your length.
When surgery has to wait
- Active cancer — the only absolute contraindication.
- Diabetes with poorly controlled blood sugar, and hypertension that hasn't yet been brought under control.
- Scalp skin conditions and active-phase autoimmune disease.
- Rapidly progressing hair loss at a young age: the pattern is still changing, so it's wiser to let it stabilize first — otherwise a new bald patch forms around the transplanted area within a few years.
The doctor determines the exact picture at a consultation, after an exam and tests — a checklist online can't decide it.
