What is Female Hair Transplant?
Hair loss can be truly devastating for women. A full assessment by a doctor is essential to appropriately diagnose this underserved group of patients. Hair transplantation is not the treatment for most causes of female hair loss, and when this is the case, any ethical medical professional should refer you on to someone who can help. A hair transplant can be an option in specific cases of female hair loss, including:
Traction alopecia, a congenitally high hairline and pattern hair loss.
