This method leaves a thin linear scar across the back of the head, however this is mostly fine and not usually visible if the hair is worn more than a few millimetres long.

Temporary hair loss for women can be due to many causes, so me of which are:


• Medication • Pregnancy • Stress •• Untreated hypothyroidism or other hormonal imbalances • Vitamin deficiency • Lack of sleep


Several scientifically proven non-surgical options are available on the market, these treatments are similar to male patients treated for hair loss. Unfortunately, most off the shelf products or hair salon treatments are not very effective.This is a difficult problem, especially in women, in whom the results of hair loss can be socially and psychologically devastating.


A specialist hair doctor is required to successfully treat hair loss in men and women.


Non-Surgical Options include:


• Platlet Rich Plasma (PRP or Vampire/ Dracula Therapy) • Injectable treatments, such as specialist vitamins, minerals and other growth factors


• Foams, shampoos and medications • Laser treatments • Low level Light therapy


For women who are suitable surgical candidates, FUT is the best option since most women do not wish to shave the back of their head, which is necessary in FUE (although a non-shave, long hair FUE hair restoration method is possible, this is much more expensive).


In response to your question about salons promising results and then not delivering, unfortunately, this is an all too common problem and we see this regularly. The hair industry and aesthetic treatments are unregulated at present. Therefore, we always advise clients to ensure that they get advice from a doctor who is a hair specialist and can give them an honest appraisal of what is and what is not possible.


It is important to realise that once hair is successfully transplanted it will not shed but the percentage of hair growth in transplanted hair depends on many factors, not least the surgeon and the team helping with the hair restoration procedure.


The non-transplanted hair that is still present will continue to shed, if the woman or man is predisposed to this.


(This patient has had two sessions of PRP and other injectable treatments over 4 sessions over 4 months).


• FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). This is a method where each hair graft is individually surgically removed from the scalp.


For suitable candidates, surgical options are also available:


• FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) This is a method where a strip of skin is removed that contains many hair grafts.


The most effective course of treatment for you can only be decided with a consultation with a doctor so we highly recommend you book this in before making any medical decisions.
