HAIR TRANSPLANTATION FOR WOMEN

About 20 million American women experience some form of hair loss. Just as is the case for men, androgenic alopecia - also known as female pattern baldness - accounts for the vast majority of cases. The rest may be the result of a temporary condition or may be scar related. It also is not uncommon, to find hormonal related hair loss in female patients, particularly due to thyroid dysfunction.

It is, therefore, important to conduct a thorough medical history. Laboratory tests may also be required. In such cases, the hair loss may be reversed to some extent once the underlying medical condition is treated. Surveys indicate that while only about half of men losing their hair are concerned, nearly every woman faced with hair loss is concerned and subject to great psychological impact.

It is important for women to know they are not alone when it comes to hair loss. There is good news. There are many ways to handle the issue appropriately. If one is dealing with androgenic alopecia or other forms of permanent hair loss, hair transplantation offers the only permanent solution with very little risk involved. Typically, hair loss in women who are subject to androgenic alopecia follow a different pattern than men. Although there may be some variation, the majority will experience thinning behind the hairline (with the actual hairline remaining relatively intact), which will progress over time, but rarely will end up in total baldness.

The good news is, if Dr. Neiman determines that you are a candidate for hair transplantation, women are ideal patients for the procedure. Those looking to add density to their thinning scalp will find a great deal of improvement even after only one procedure.

"Dr.  Neiman answered my questions and explained everything using terminology that I could understand.  He was also very patient with my long list of questions and did not rush me... I had requested information and set up consultations with other surgeons, but after visiting Dr. Neiman's office I had no need to go through with the other consultations.  Dr. Neiman's qualifications, along with his easy-going, professional attitude, allowed me to feel completely at ease making the decision to choose him as my surgeon."
