Stages of Female Hair Loss
Hair loss specialists often use the Ludwig scale to assess the severity of female pattern hair loss. The lowest stage, Stage 1, is characterized by slight scalp visibility when the hair is parted at the top. This stage indicates early thinning.
Stage 2 shows more noticeable thinning, especially in the central area of the scalp, where the scalp becomes more visible as the hair becomes finer. Stage 3 is the most advanced stage, with substantial thinning affecting the entire scalp, often resulting in areas of noticeable baldness. Another form of hair loss women might experience is traction alopecia, a condition caused by constant tension from tight hairstyles like braids. This can cause permanent hair loss, particularly around the edges of the hairline.
Treatment For Female Pattern Hair Loss: Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a revolutionary, non-surgical solution for female pattern baldness. By depositing organic, plant-based pigments into the scalp, SMP creates the realistic illusion of natural hair follicles, making it an excellent option for women experiencing hair thinning or bald spots. This procedure offers immediate results, enhancing hair density and appearance without the need for any recovery time.
At Zang SMP, we use only the highest quality pigments that closely resemble actual hair follicles. This ensures a more natural, transformed look without the need for invasive surgery or hair transplants. SMP effectively covers bald areas, simulates natural hair growth, and gives women a significant boost in confidence.
Typically, the SMP process requires two to three sessions. The first two are spaced a week apart to address specific hair loss patterns in women. If needed, a third session can be scheduled one to three months later to perfect and finalize the results, ensuring optimal, long-lasting results.
Would a Hair Transplant Treat Hair Loss?
In many instances of both female and male pattern hair loss, hair transplants are not the ideal solution. This is because hair transplant procedures rely on donor hair grafts, which can be insufficient when thinning affects the entire scalp.
Additionally, placing hair grafts into areas where hair is still present can damage the natural hair follicles. This unintended damage may result in reduced hair growth, leaving patients with less hair than before the procedure.
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) provides a safer, more effective, and long-lasting alternative for female hair loss. It enhances the appearance of hair density without the risks associated with surgery or follicle damage. SMP delivers immediate results with no downtime and does not require invasive treatments.
