FUE - WOMEN

There may be several different reasons for hair loss in women, such as:

• Dietary changes (rapid weight loss).
• Being under chronic stress.
• Use of chemical hair treatments.
• Undergoing treatments such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
• Problems with your health, such as thyroid disease, anaemia, deficiency of iron, copper, zinc, selenium, D3 and biotin, etc.
• Changes in your hormones for example, pregnancy or menopause
• Some medicines and supplementary medicines (blood pressure medications, gout medications, and high doses of vitamin A).
• Genetic ( family) predisposition.
• Age:As people age, hair growth slows, and some follicles stop producing hair, leading to thinner scalp hair.
• STIs (sexually transmitted infections): Without treatment, STIs may result in patchy hair loss.
• Scalp Conditions: Hair loss can occur from scalp psoriasis and scalp infections such as ringworm.
• A blood test is needed to check for deficiencies of important nutrients.
• To determine the cause of hair loss (e.g. hormonal imbalance, stress, autoimmune disease), a thorough diagnosis is essential.
  

Yes, a hair transplant can be performed without a complete shave.

This method, known as ‘Unshaven FUE’ (Follicular Unit Extraction) or DHI method (Direct Hair Implantation), only requires shaving of the donor area, while the hair in the recipient area remains untouched.

Another major advantage of this technique is that the shaved donor area can be hidden if the hair in the receipt area is longer. This makes the procedure more discreet and the healing process less noticeable. This method is particularly popular with patients who want to resume their daily routine quickly without the procedure being visible.

Partial Shaving:

• Only the donor area (typically at the back of the head) is shaved.
• The recipient area where the hair is implanted remains untouched.

Discreet Healing:

• The shaved donor area can easily be concealed if the surrounding hair is longer, making the procedure less noticeable.
• This allows patients to resume their daily activities quickly and with minimal visibility of the procedure
  

Female Pattern Hair Loss

Female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is characterized by gradual thinning on the top and crown of the scalp. It tends to occur in a diffuse pattern and can worsen with age or hormonal changes.

Alopecia Areata

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that causes hair to fall out in small, round patches. This condition can affect both men and women and may lead to total hair loss in severe cases.

Telogen Effluvium

Telogen effluvium is a type of temporary hair loss that often occurs after stressful events, illness, or hormonal changes. It causes shedding of hair across the scalp, which usually grows back once the underlying cause is addressed.

Traction Alopecia

Traction alopecia is hair loss caused by prolonged tension on the hair, often due to tight hairstyles such as ponytails, braids, or buns. It can be reversed if caught early, but long-term tension can lead to permanent hair loss.

• A No-Shave Hair Transplant is most suitable for people who are experiencing a mild to moderate degree of hair loss.
• If you have extensive baldness or significant hair loss, this method may not be effective, as a larger number of grafts typically need to be extracted and implanted.

• Recovery is similar to a standard FUE or DHI procedure but allows for a faster return to work.
• Patients can usually return to work sooner than with a fully shaven Hair transplant, where a 1-week waiting period is recommended.
• Some swelling and redness may occur in the first 3-4 days, but this subsides quickly.
