Question:
Does this procedure work for women who do not have localized hairloss. 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.
