Stages of Female Hair Loss
Hair loss specialists utilize the Ludwig scale to assess the severity of female pattern hair loss, with stages ranging from 1, the mildest, to 3, the most severe. At stage 1, the scalp becomes distinctly visible when the hair is parted at the top of the head.
In stage 2 of female pattern hair loss, patients observe greater scalp visibility in the central part of the head, with noticeable thinning spreading to adjacent areas. Stage 3 represents severe thinning affecting the entire scalp. Additionally, women may experience traction alopecia, a condition where hair along the edges is permanently lost due to the consistent tension from tight braids or hairstyles.
Treatment For Female Pattern Hair Loss: Scalp Micropigmentation
For treating female pattern baldness, Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) offers a sophisticated, non-invasive solution. By applying organic, plant-based pigments to mimic natural hair follicles, SMP enhances the appearance of hair density instantly, without any need for recovery time.
Zang SMP in Downtown Los Angeles employs specially formulated pigments to closely mimic natural hair follicles, offering a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures or hair transplants. This technique effectively conceals bald spots, simulates hair growth, and enhances your overall appearance.
Typically, the SMP treatment involves two to three sessions. The first two sessions occur one week apart, specifically targeting female pattern hair loss. If necessary, a third session can be arranged one to three months later to adjust the density and perfect the final look.
Would a Hair Transplant Treat Hair Loss?
Hair transplants are typically not the most suitable solution for most cases of female pattern hair loss, as well as male pattern hair loss. This is due to the reliance on donor hair grafts, which may be inadequate when thinning is widespread across the entire scalp.
Moreover, placing grafts in areas with existing hair has the potential to affect some of the native follicles, potentially leading to a reduction in the overall hair density.
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is an exceptional permanent solution for female hair loss, distinguished by its safety and effectiveness. It provides immediate results, restores full hair density without affecting existing follicles, eliminates the need for surgery, and involves no downtime.
