The procedure of hair transplant, its benefits and side effects all are same for both. We observe the difference when we talk about hair loss pattern which occurs in males and females. Men lose their hair in a specific pattern called as male pattern baldness that is easily seen in most men when they start losing their hair from the front and top of their heads. However, female hair loss often does not follow this pattern. Usually they experience an overall thinning of their hair. You can easily observe it in many women who are in their 50s. Hair transplant or surgical hair restoration becomes a challenge in this situation because hair transplant needs balding resistant hair follicles which are not available in such cases. However, generalized thinning of hair is best treated through medicines.

Hair transplant for women is possible when

Sometimes, female hair loss follows male pattern baldness in which women also experience a receding hairline and a thinning crown. In such cases hair restoration is not a problem at all. Such women have a good supply of balding resistant hair grafts which are the primary requirement of a hair transplant.

Some women experience localized thinning of hair may be due to a disease or traction that some hairstyles put on their hairs. Hair transplant is quite possible in such cases as well. Women who have lost their hair due to a trauma, traction, medicines, surgery or disease are also good candidates for surgical hair restoration.
