The Causes of Female Hair Loss
Similar to hair loss in men, female hair loss is often genetic in nature. If the women in your family have a history of hair loss, then you may experience it too. In addition to that, other factors such as work stress, lack of proper nutrition, genetics, medications, hormonal changes, too, can lead to female hair loss. You should remain especially alert to any indications that your hair is thinning. If you notice the first signs of hair loss, seek treatment to stop the hair loss and restore the lost hair. Other causes of hair loss could be certain medications, iron deficiency, inflammatory diseases and hormonal fluctuations.

Hair Transplants after Plastic Surgery
Facelifts and brow lifts can remove wrinkles and give you a more youthful appearance. But when done incorrectly, these procedures can lead to unsightly scarring and unnatural hairlines. During a brow or facelift, incisions are made along the hairline to adjust, tighten and reshape the contours of the face. These incisions are meant to heal and be hidden in your hairline, but improper procedures can lead to visible scars. The process of pulling the skin back to tighten it can also warp the hairline and give it an unnatural shape, causing a completely new aesthetic problem. If either of these issues has occurred after your facelift or brow lift, our doctor can perform a female hair transplant in Toronto to correct the problem. By taking follicles from a donor site, usually at the back of the head, Dr. Cotterill will be able to cover up visible scars and create a natural hairline around your face. Call our office today to discuss your options.
Hair Transplantation – Is It the Best Option?
The first thing to consider is the cause of your hair loss. The effectiveness of hair transplantation correlates to what is causing the loss of your hair. Hereditary female hair loss may respond well to hair transplantation while other causes may not. Some factors to remember when considering hair transplantation include:
- Family history of female hair loss
- Age at which hair loss begins
- Progression rate of hair loss
- Patterns of hair loss
- Donor hair availability
- Results of medical treatments used to slow or halt hair loss
- Patient expectations of hair transplantation outcome
Hair Transplant for Women: The Procedure
The female hair transplant surgery may provide you long-term solutions for women who have thinning hair. During your appointment, Dr Paul Cotterill, will thoroughly examine your hair and balding pattern to determine where the transplants are needed. He will then identify a donor site from where the follicles are harvested and prepared for relocation. Following that, he will place each hair delicately to ensure the natural look. Please note that you may require several sessions based on the severity of your hair loss and requirements.
The Cycle of Hair Growth
There are four main stages of the hair growth cycle:
- The anagen phase: Also called the growing phase, it can last from two years to eight years.
- The catagen phase: During this phase, the hair follicles shrink. This period can last for two to three weeks.
- The telogen phase: It takes about two to four months. By the end of this phase, the hair falls out.
- The exogen phase: Is considered to be the final stage of the cycle when old hairs are shed from the scalp.
Results of the Female Hair Transplant Procedure
Please note it will take you a few months to notice growth from the transplanted follicles. It may take you up to one year to see the final results of your procedure. Results may include:
- Natural-looking hair density
- Reduced bald spots
- Fuller hair overall
Benefits of Hair Transplant for Women
Most of us consider hair an important facet of our personality. Although most of us try to cover our hair loss by wearing wigs, hair extensions, or concealing hairstyles, these are temporary solutions and require re-styling throughout the day. Hair transplant surgery is an ideal alternative for using wigs. It gives you natural-looking, thicker, fuller hair. For more information about our female hair loss treatment in Toronto, call us now.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Female Hair Transplant Surgery Painful?
No, the female hair transplant surgery is not a painful procedure. A local anesthetic is given to both the donor and the recipient areas before the procedure is carried out. Dr. Cotterill monitors your post-operation condition himself to attend to complaints. A painkiller is effective against any pains that might arise as an after-effect.
How Long Does the Female Hair Transplant Surgery Take?
The transplant itself takes between 4-8 hours. Before the procedure, you're asked to visit our office so that Dr. Cotterill can assess you carefully. The recovery period after the surgery is around a week. It might take 6-12 months for the benefits of the procedure to show completely.
How Long Do Hair Transplants Last?
Hair transplants are an effective, long-term solution for thinning and balding hair in women if the causes aren't medical. With proper care, the transplants can last for many years.
