Female Hair Loss

Androgenetic alopecia, also known as female pattern hair loss, affects many women and is characterized by the gradual thinning of hair, particularly on the scalp's top and crown areas. Over time, this thinning process can lead to a more pronounced scalp visibility and a broader part, making the hair loss more evident.

What Causes Female Hair Loss?

Female pattern hair loss is marked by the gradual reduction in the size of hair follicles, which results in thinner and shorter hair strands. As this condition progresses, some follicles may eventually stop producing new hairs. This hair loss is primarily caused by genetic factors, hormonal shifts, and aging.

Men with male pattern baldness often experience hair loss in specific, well-defined regions of the scalp, whereas women generally see a diffuse thinning of hair throughout the scalp without the characteristic receding hairline.

Stages of Female Hair Loss

Hair loss specialists utilize the Ludwig scale to measure the severity of female pattern hair loss, where stage 1 is the least severe and stage 3 is the most severe. At stage 1, the scalp is typically more noticeable when the hair is parted on the crown.

At stage 2, female pattern hair loss is evident with more noticeable scalp visibility in the central region and additional thinning in the surrounding areas. Stage 3 involves advanced thinning that affects the entire scalp. Traction alopecia is another hair loss condition commonly found in women, where tight hairstyles lead to permanent hair loss along the edges of the scalp.

Treatment For Female Pattern Hair Loss: Scalp Micropigmentation

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) offers a modern, non-surgical approach to treating female pattern baldness. By applying organic, plant-based pigments to the scalp, this technique replicates the look of real hair follicles, instantly enhancing the appearance of hair density without the need for recovery time.

Zang SMP in Las Vegas uses specialized pigments that are tailored to replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles, allowing you to achieve a transformed look without resorting to invasive surgery or painful hair transplants. SMP effectively conceals bald spots, simulates hair growth, and enhances your image.

The Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) process generally requires two to three sessions. Initial sessions are spaced about a week apart, specifically designed for treating female pattern hair loss. If necessary, a third session may occur one to three months later to enhance the density and refine the final look.

Here’s what you can expect with SMP:

• Right after the first session of SMP, you'll notice the pigments are more pronounced due to their fresh application.
• After 24 hours, the initial boldness of the pigments will diminish, and they will take on a more settled look.
• After 48 to 72 hours, any redness that occurred will disappear. 
• Once the pigments have fully settled, your hair treatment will look entirely natural.

Would a Hair Transplant Treat Hair Loss?

In most cases of female pattern hair loss (or male pattern hair loss), hair transplants are not the optimal choice. This is because they require a sufficient number of donor hair grafts, which may not be available if thinning occurs throughout the whole scalp.

Additionally, when grafts are implanted in areas where native hair is already present, there is a risk that the procedure could harm some of the existing hair follicles, leading to a reduction in overall hair density.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) stands out as the safest and most efficient permanent option for women dealing with hair loss. It provides instant results, restoring full hair density without causing damage to existing follicles, avoiding surgery, and requiring no recovery time.
