Question:
Does this procedure work for women who do not have localized hair loss. My hair has always been thin.
Answer:
Yes, it can, to some degree, but most effectively if your donor area (back of the scalp) is somewhat thicker in density and the transplanted hairs are concentrated into certain areas – most commonly the frontal region and partline – to provide the most cosmetic benefit.
I see many female patients who have been told by other hair transplant surgeons that nothing can be done for them, yet in many of these cases the reality is that a procedure can improve their hair loss situation – perhaps not as dramatically as they would want, but it is a definite improvement.
Please feel free to send some photos for me to evaluate.
