Androgenetic alopecia
Female pattern hair loss or androgenetic alopecia happens to about 50% of women and is inherited from either side of the person’s bloodline. It can skip a generation though. For women who are facing this problem getting a hair transplant can be a solution.
Androgenetic areata
When the location of hair loss is not too big and has been consistent / calm for a minimum of 6 months, a hair transplant can be a good solution. If the hair loss is very much active, it is advised to wait a little longer to see if the hair loss progresses. Because then there is a chance that the implanted hair will fall out. It’s important to be well informed about your situation. Book a consultation here if you are interested in knowing more.
