Hair transplant in women

Hair transplant in women

Hair Transplantation in Women is becoming increasingly common, with Downtown Hair Transplant Clinic seeing around 5% of its patients as female. Hair Transplantation can be used to address three main conditions in women - Female Pattern Baldness, Lowering of the Hairline, and Eyebrow Reshaping.

Female Pattern Baldness

For Female Pattern Baldness, a number of treatments can  be used.

Medical treatment: a combination of Minoxidil and nutritional supplements is used in women. Minoxidil is an effective medication to treat Female Pattern Baldness but is contraindicated in pregnant women, and its effects may be temporary. Nutritional supplements is important, specially in case of anemia.

Correction of pre existing diseases: diseases like low thyroid hormones, PCOS with hormonal imbalance, etc can also cause hair loss in women and should be corrected.

PRP: PRP or platelet rich plasma therapy is a very useful treatment in hair loss in women. 10 ml of blood is taken from the person and this is processed till 1 ml of platelet rich plasma is extracted from this blood, this PRP is then injected into the scalp. It stimulates hair growth and can stop or even reverse female pattern baldness.

SMP: scalp micropigmentation is a method whereby small black dots are tattooed into the scalp, this camouflages the empty areas of the scalp and gives an appearance of dense hair. This is very useful in women who do not want to do hair transplant.

Hair Transplant: and finally, hair transplant is the final solution for female pattern hair loss. Hair transplant in women is similar to men, but there are some fundamental differences. In women, the hair cannot be trimmed as women will not allow it, so it is done without trimming. Only a small linear area is trimmed for the donor hair. Also in women, the hair loss does not have a pattern so hair is transplanted mainly in an inverted T-shape covering the front hairline area and the parting. About 1500 to 2000 grafts are needed in women generally and cost is between Rs 55000 to Rs 70,000.

 

Lowering Hairline

Lowering the Hairline is another common reason women seek Hair Transplantation.

Hairlines may be naturally high for some women from birth, and many women are dissatisfied with such high hairlines. They often seek out hair transplant to lower the hairline.

Quality assuarance

Arogyam Hair Transplant Clinic takes several steps to ensure that quality is maintained for each and every patient. The key to quality maintenance is to implement quantizable quality standards and maintain proper documentation and review of processes. Downtown Hospital is an ISO 9001:2008 and NABH accredited hospital which demands strict adherence to quality control.Steps taken are:

Safety assurance: all procedures are done in the main OT of Downtown Hospital with its full complement of anesthesiologists and critical care specialists. Hence patients are assured of full safety standards at the same level as that of major surgeries including transplant surgeries. 

Sterilization assurance: since procedures are done in the major OT full sterilization is maintained. Fumigation is done every week and swab tests are done to check for contamination.

Best instrumentation: Arogyam Hair Transplant Clinic uses the best available instruments like 6X Heine Loupe for precision and accuracy, Blunt Titanium punches which avoids damage and transection of the Follicular Units, Choi implanters to standardise the process of planting and prevent damage during planting, Major OT level sterilization, fumigation and autoclaving of all instruments, etc.

Efficiency count: Efficiency counts for FUE like transection rates and speed of transplant are noted and documented for each case and reviewed every 10 cases. Arogyam Hair Transplant achieves international standards of transection and speed consistently.

Counting trays: Counting trays are used to contain the follicular units and all patients are given photographs on their mobiles which they can use to easily count the number of follicular units taken out so that they can be sure that they have received the correct number of FU's.

Dr. P. J. Mazumdar is the first and only American Board Certified Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and all procedures are done following the ethical and technical guidelines of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and the International Society for Hair Restoration Surgery. As such, patients can be assured of receiving full professional care as per International standards approved by the ABHRS and ISHRS.

Correct recepient density: To ensure correct recepient density, 'density stamps' are used to ensure proper density is achieved. Angle and direction of hair is meticulously maintained.

Out of body time: The out of body time, the time for which the follicular unit is outside the body, is the most critical factor for success in hair transplant. Aroyam Hair Transplant follows a special procedure to ensure that this time is the minimum. This is done by doing only 1000 follicular units at a time and then replanting them. This ensures that time out of body is less than or equal to1 hour only. This is the shortest period acheivable. Many centers do upto 2000-2500 follicular units at a time so that time out of body goes upto 4-5 hours. We are proud of our time out of body quantum. Though this may cause some sacrifice of time but results are more important.

Follow up: follow up period is critical for the patient when there are many doubts and anxieties in his mind. In our clinic, Dr. P. J. Mazumdar will remain always accessible to the patient directly on his personal mobile for any questions the patient may have during this period.
