Stages of Female Hair Loss
To assess the extent of female pattern hair loss, hair loss specialists use the Ludwig scale. Stage 1 is the mildest stage, where slight thinning of the hair occurs, and the scalp becomes visible when the hair is parted on top.
Stage 2 indicates further thinning, with the central region of the scalp becoming more visible. Stage 3 is the most advanced stage, where significant thinning extends throughout the scalp. Additionally, another type of hair loss, traction alopecia, is caused by the repetitive stress of tight hairstyles such as braids. This can lead to permanent hair loss around the edges if not properly managed.
Treatment For Female Pattern Hair Loss: Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is an innovative, non-invasive solution for female pattern baldness. Through the application of organic, plant-based pigments, SMP creates the illusion of natural hair follicles, offering a fuller, denser appearance of hair. This procedure provides immediate results with no downtime required.
Zang SMP uses only high-quality pigments designed to replicate natural hair follicles, ensuring that your results are as realistic as possible. SMP effectively covers bald spots, simulates hair growth, and enhances the overall look of your hair, providing a noticeable confidence boost without surgery or hair transplants.
The SMP process generally involves two to three sessions. The first two sessions occur about a week apart and are tailored to your individual hair loss patterns. If additional adjustments are necessary, a third session can be scheduled within one to three months to perfect the results, ensuring the most natural and lasting look.
Would a Hair Transplant Treat Hair Loss?
Hair transplants are not the most effective treatment for most cases of female and male pattern hair loss. These procedures depend on donor hair grafts, which can be scarce when thinning affects the entire scalp.
Furthermore, transplanting hair grafts into areas that still have existing hair can cause damage to the natural follicles. This damage could hinder new hair growth, leaving patients with even less hair than before the procedure.
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a safe, non-invasive, and long-lasting solution for female hair loss. It provides immediate results by restoring the appearance of hair density without the risk of harming natural follicles. Unlike hair transplants, SMP requires no surgery and has no recovery time.
