Hair loss is medically called alopecia. There are different types and causes of hair loss since women go through multiple life changes and situations that directly affect hair health.

Affecting up to 40% of women by age 50, it begins when women notice thinning of their hair and more hair loss in the shower, on the brush, and the pillow when they wake up in the morning.

Unlike men who suffer from male pattern hair loss, the signs and symptoms in women are more pronounced. Women with androgenic alopecia hair loss will notice hair thinning in the central and upper parts of the scalp, which will cause a widening of the race in the main part and even entrances.

As long as there is a suitable donor region from which hair follicles can be harvested, women can benefit from hair restoration surgery.

Women who experience androgenetic alopecia or hair loss caused by scars from accidents, burns or cosmetic procedures are often good candidates for hair transplant surgery as long as they have a large donor region.
