Stages of Female Hair Loss
Hair loss experts use the Ludwig scale to categorize the severity of female pattern hair loss, ranging from stage 1, the mildest form, to stage 3, the most severe. In stage 1, a patient's scalp becomes noticeably visible when the hair is parted on the top of the head.
In stage 2 of female pattern hair loss, patients experience increased scalp visibility in the central part, with noticeable thinning extending to the surrounding areas. Stage 3 signifies severe thinning across the entire scalp. Another common form of hair loss in women is traction alopecia, where hair at the edges is permanently lost due to wearing tight braids or hairstyles.
Treatment For Female Pattern Hair Loss: Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is an advanced, non-invasive solution for female pattern baldness. This technique uses organic, plant-based pigments to mimic natural hair follicles on the scalp, instantly enhancing the look of hair density with no recovery time required.
Zang SMP in Denver uses specially designed pigments that closely replicate natural hair follicles, providing a non-invasive alternative to surgery or hair transplants. SMP successfully conceals bald spots, creates the appearance of hair growth, and improves your image.
Typically, the SMP process requires two to three sessions. The initial sessions are spaced a week apart and are specifically designed to address female pattern hair loss. If required, a third session can be scheduled one to three months later to refine the density and perfect the appearance.
Would a Hair Transplant Treat Hair Loss?
Hair transplants are generally not the best option for most instances of female pattern hair loss (or male pattern hair loss). This is because hair transplants depend on a supply of donor hair grafts, which may be insufficient when thinning occurs across the entire scalp.
In addition, when grafts are added to areas with existing hair, there is a possibility that the procedure could affect some of the native follicles, leading to a reduction in overall hair density.
As a permanent solution for female hair loss, Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) stands out for its safety and effectiveness. It offers instant results, restores complete hair density without harming existing follicles, avoids surgical intervention, and requires no downtime.
