Female pattern hair loss: a much more common condition than it seems
Female Pattern Baldness, also known as Androgenetic alopecia, is a leading cause of hair loss in women, similar to how it affects men. While one in three men experience baldness by 30, this hair loss is also prevalent in women, affecting 25% of women aged between 35 and 45 and 35-45% of women over 50. This type of hair loss does not result in complete baldness. Still, it can significantly reduce hair density on the frontal line, temples and occiput, affecting a woman’s confidence.
Compared to men, women’s hair loss is more widespread and progresses gradually. At an advanced stage, androgenetic alopecia presents as a bald spot on the top of the head, making the scalp easily noticeable and negatively impacting a woman’s well-being and confidence.
Summary
The leading causes of hair loss in women
There are numerous causes for female hair loss, with female pattern hair loss being the most common hereditary factor. Women naturally produce male hormones, which are secreted by the adrenal glands and ovaries, albeit in a much lower amount than in men. However, in the presence of an androgenetic predisposition, this small amount of androgens is enough to trigger hair loss, causing the hair growth cycle to speed up and depleting the hair’s renewal capacity early on. Over time, the hair becomes finer and eventually stops growing.
Female hair loss can also result from hormonal imbalances and often occurs after menopause. The severity of the condition may vary with the seasons. Other factors such as oral contraceptives, hormonal treatments, pregnancy, and stress can also contribute to androgenetic alopecia. Certain nutrient deficiencies, such as a lack of vitamin B, iron, zinc, or magnesium, can also lead to abnormal hair loss.

Treating female pattern hair loss with hair transplantation for women
Hair transplants for women are a permanent and life-saving solution to hair loss. Dr Davood Safari’s clinic offers two types of hair transplants:
FUE hair transplant
The FUE hair transplantation technique provides excellent results for women. This procedure, performed under local anaesthesia, is the perfect solution for permanently restoring a full head of hair. The process involves removing individual follicles from a donor area and implanting them into the patient’s scalp through small channels created in the recipient area. With FUE hair transplantation, it is possible to achieve a natural and harmonious hairline.
DHI Hair Transplant
The DHI hair transplant follows a similar principle to the FUE hair transplant. However, in DHI, the follicles are directly implanted into the recipient area without creating incisions. This is achieved using a specialised tool called the DHI implant stylet or Choi Pen. The brief time the grafts are outside the body during implantation leads to a safer procedure and quicker recovery. DHI hair transplant requires a high level of precision, which is why it is recommended to seek out an experienced surgeon such as Dr. Davood Safari.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Dr. Davood not recommend the FUT technique for female hair transplantation?
FUT or strip hair transplantation is not recommended for women due to the unnatural outcome and the disadvantage of leaving a scar on the back of the head. Dr. Davood suggests an FUE hair transplant with a CHOI implanter pen (DHI)
Is it possible to get a hair transplant without shaving?
Shaving the entire scalp is one of the primary concerns of every woman suffering from hair loss. If you select some hair transplant techniques, you may need to shave the entire scalp. That’s if you get an FUE hair transplant or Follicular Unit Extraction.
However, you can also get an unshaven hair transplant, made possible by DHI (Direct Hair Implantation). Based on the FUE method, DHI is more innovative, involves fewer steps, and doesn’t require complete head shaving.
Both choices are effective, minimally invasive, and leave no scars. Depending on the amount of hair loss, your surgeon will recommend the proper technique. However, it’s often a matter of personal preference.
