Women’s hair restoration
Begin with a diagnosis and an individual assessment.
Hair loss in women can have different causes. Identifying the reason for thinning is the first step, because a transplant is not suitable for every pattern of hair loss.
Understand what has changed
An assessment can include the history of the hair loss, a scalp examination and, when indicated, further investigations. Tell the clinician about recent changes in health, medication and the pattern or speed of shedding.
Consider the full range of options
Some causes are temporary or may respond to non-surgical care. Where transplantation is appropriate, the stability and quality of the donor area are important parts of planning. Discuss the likely appearance, the practical implications of the procedure and realistic limitations.
Take time to decide
A useful consultation should give you room to ask questions. You do not need to choose a procedure before the cause of the hair loss and available options have been explained.
