The Beauty & Science of Hair Transplants for Women
Over 30 percent of women experience hair loss, impacting their self-esteem. A hair transplant can help restore confidence. The Scandinavian Hair Institute in Oslo provides specialized care at a lower cost than in the US, with luxury suites and tailored procedures for natural-looking results. For our patients in Philadelphia Hair Transplant for Women consultations are available.
Because Women Lose Their Hair Too
Women usually experience more diffuse hair loss than men, who are more likely to have pattern baldness. Hair Transplant for Women can provide a solution for various causes of hair loss in women. Hormones are one common cause of hair loss in women. Menopause brings hormonal shifts that can cause a spectrum of symptoms, including hair loss. Pregnancy, childbirth, and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) can also be culprits. The hair loss caused by some hormonal changes is temporary, but treatment may be needed in other cases to restore hair growth.
Stress is another common cause of hair loss in women. When you experience major stress, you may lose more than normal, a condition called telogen effluvium. Your hair will usually grow back within six months to one year, but professional help may be needed if it doesn't. Additionally, many women use a chemical treatment such as dye, bleach, or straightener in their hair at some point.
These treatments carry the risk of weakening your hair as well as irritating the scalp, which can lead to breakage and hair shedding. These side effects can often be reversed by stopping treatments. But if hair loss persists, a specialist may be able to help. A hair transplant for women is a highly effective surgical procedure that can help women experiencing hair loss due to a number of causes. We will help you determine whether a hair transplant is the most effective choice for your individual case.

A Peek Into the Hair Transplant Procedure
We utilize two main methods of hair transplant for women: Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT). FUE is a lengthier process because it involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area and then transplanting them to the treatment area. In FUT, a strip of hair is taken from the donor site, and then individual follicles are separated out for transplant. Because FUT is slightly more invasive, it may leave a light scar where the strip of hair is removed from the donor site. However, it is the more efficient method, especially if your procedure requires a large number of hairs to be transplanted. The scar is typically light, and for people who wear long hairstyles, it is easily concealed. Each method has certain benefits, and we can help you decide which method is best for your needs.
Real Hair. Real Confidence.
After your hair transplant for women procedure, your newly transplanted hair will take a few months to establish itself. You can expect to see your final results in around nine to fourteen months. We care about providing results that blend with your hair growth pattern and restore your most naturally vibrant, youthful appearance. We focus on creating a natural-looking hairline and using advanced techniques to minimize potential scarring and give you back hair that is authentic to you.
No More Hair Loss Stress
We will provide detailed instructions on caring for your scalp and hair after your hair transplant for women procedure. This will include guidance on how to wash your hair using a pH-balanced shampoo for the first few weeks. You will need to avoid strenuous physical activity, swimming, saunas, and sweating during this time. The recovery time after FUE is typically fast, and most patients can return to work within a short period; recovery from FUT may take slightly longer but is also relatively quick. Your progress will be monitored during one or more remote post-procedure appointments, and our team will be available to answer any questions as you return to your regular routine.
A hair transplant is an excellent option for women experiencing many types of hair loss. However, hair transplants are not recommended for individuals who are prone to developing keloid scars or those who lost hair as a side effect of chemotherapy. Our team will assist you in exploring the best options for your individual situation.
Hair transplant for women results are considered to be permanent. However, just like your other hair, transplanted hair is not immune to physical or hormonal changes that could cause thinning after your procedure. However, most patients enjoy their results for a long time, and they can be lifelong.
