Stages of Female Hair Loss
Female pattern hair loss is classified by the Ludwig scale, which ranges from stage 1 to stage 3 in increasing severity. In stage 1, the least severe stage, the scalp becomes more noticeable, especially when the hair is parted at the top.
Stage 2 of female pattern hair loss is characterized by greater scalp visibility in the central region, with additional thinning in the surrounding areas. Stage 3 represents advanced thinning across the entire scalp. Traction alopecia is another form of hair loss often seen in women, where tight hairstyles cause permanent hair loss around the edges of the scalp.
Treatment For Female Pattern Hair Loss: Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) provides a modern, non-surgical method for addressing female pattern baldness. Through the use of organic, plant-based pigments, SMP replicates the appearance of real hair follicles, instantly improving hair density without the need for recovery.
The pigments used at Zang SMP in Houston are uniquely formulated to replicate the appearance of real hair follicles, offering a non-surgical solution for those seeking a refreshed look. SMP is an effective way to conceal bald spots, promote the illusion of hair growth, and elevate your overall image.
To finish the SMP procedure, two to three sessions are generally required. The initial sessions are spaced a week apart and are tailored for female pattern hair loss. If needed, a third session may be scheduled one to three months later to adjust the hair density and perfect the final appearance.
Would a Hair Transplant Treat Hair Loss?
Hair transplants are often not suitable for most cases of female pattern hair loss (or male pattern hair loss). The procedure requires a good supply of donor hair grafts, which may be lacking when hair thinning is widespread across the entire scalp.
Furthermore, when grafts are inserted into areas where there is already natural hair, there is a risk that the procedure might damage some of the existing hair follicles, causing a decrease in total hair density.
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is distinguished as the safest and most effective permanent treatment for female hair loss. It restores full hair density instantly without affecting existing hair follicles, bypasses the need for surgery, and requires no recovery period.
