    Female Hair Transplants-Tired of Empty Promises?

    By Michael L. Max


    Woman's hair loss is a problem usually ignored because hair loss can be considered a condition largely affecting men, though 40 percent of women suffer hair loss at some point of their life caused by reasons including woman pattern baldness and genetic alopecia. It really is imperative to get professional opinions and figure out the underlying causes.

    Other loss reasons include injuries and mishaps, hormonal imbalances caused by aging, stress and anxiety, pregnancy, poor nutrition like iron deficiency and menopause. Anemia, anorexia, thyroid, bulimia, illness and liver disorders cause hair loss.

    A treatment choice for thinning hair is female hair transplant. Today employing modern technology and techniques, transplants can be completed on out patient basis and they are straight forward and simple. Thousands of strands of hair are implanted each session because a patient may need from 5 hundred to five thousand augmentations to restore a complete head of hair.

    Unfortunately, this procedure is not the ideal choice for every woman. Hair transplant costs can be prohibitive, so they are not the best option for everyone. It is also true that a woman with alopecia or genetic hair loss is not the best candidate. Alopecia causes hair loss over the whole scalp, while hair transplants procedures graft the patients own healthy hair onto thinning areas. Hair transplants are really moving healthy hair to thinning spots.

    These procedures give the most benefit to women losing their hair from injuries or unfortunate problems. Another procedure for hair loss treatment are shampoos and conditioners that creates an appearance of thicker and fuller hair styles.

    Woman's Rogaine as well as Minoxidil medications are used to help treat hair loss. Woman's Rogaine is similar to men's Rogaine and will protect hair from further loss, and some women will actually stimulate new growth. Other choices are hair weaves, extensions and hair pieces. When done professionally, these alternatives look natural and help women regain their confidence and self esteem.
