Female Baldness

Hair is one of the wonders of being a woman and an extension of our personality. It says we're pretty. It says we're soft. It says sometimes we're up and sometimes we're down.

Millions of women suffer from many varieties of Female Baldness. The great news is that thousands are taking control, taking their lives back, and growing to love themselves again through the life-changing results of surgical hair transplants - the only permanent baldness solution.

The pattern of female baldness must be determined before a hair replacement treatment plan is formed. Since female baldness patterns vary, the common classifications are listed in a range from slight hair loss to severe hair loss. Your degree of thinning or breaking hair can change over time. MHR uses hair grafts of one, two, or three hairs, which are transferred as follicular units or micro-grafts.

What sets noticeable hair replacements from undetectable hair replacements is the quantity of micro-grafts used and the artistic technique to blend the hair replacement unit and micro-grafts into the irregular patterns of natural hair.

Medical Hair Restoration also performs an average of 40 to 60 cases of corrective hair replacement surgeries each month. MHR has developed methods by which a poor hair transplant can be modified into a desirable result. Dr. Matt Leavitt has even authored a chapter on corrective surgery in hair transplantation for a medical textbook.

Female Baldness Treatment
The hair loss of female pattern baldness is permanent. In most cases, it is mild to moderate. No treatment is required if the person is comfortable with her appearance.

Female Pattern Baldness Cause
The cause of the failure to grow new hair in female pattern baldness is not well understood, but it is associated with genetic predisposition, aging, and levels of endocrine hormones (particulary androgens, the male sex hormones).

Female Pattern Baldness
The typical pattern of female pattern baldness is different from that of male pattern baldness. The hair thins all over the head, but the frontal hairline is maintained.
