Hair loss is not a condition reserved for men alone. In fact, according to some doctors, one in five women will experience some degree of hair loss. Hair loss in women is often the result of age, illness, or changes in hormones following menopause. Unlike men who generally lose hair in patches, women commonly experience subtle thinning throughout the scalp. Hair restoration can be an ideal solution for some women. While there are many different hair transplant techniques available, most women who are good candidates for hair transplantation find that mini-grafts provide the best solution. Mini-grafts of healthy hair are taken from a donor area, typically the back of the head, and then transplanted into the thinning area to create a fuller look and help camouflage thin areas. While less common, some women may be candidates for other hair transplant techniques such as tissue expansion and flap procedures.
