Female Hair Loss

Female pattern hair loss, or androgenetic alopecia, is a common condition where women experience hair thinning, predominantly on the top and crown regions of the scalp. As the condition advances, the scalp tends to become more visible, and the part line may expand, making the thinning hair more apparent.

What Causes Female Hair Loss?

In female pattern hair loss, the gradual shrinking of hair follicles causes the hair strands to become thinner and shorter. As this condition worsens, some follicles may no longer produce new hair. The main factors contributing to this type of hair loss are genetics, hormonal changes, and aging.

In male pattern baldness, hair loss tends to occur in distinct areas, but women usually experience a more diffuse thinning across the entire scalp, without the formation of a receding hairline.

Stages of Female Hair Loss

The Ludwig scale is a system that hair loss specialists employ to determine the severity of female pattern hair loss, from stage 1, the least severe, to stage 3, the most severe. In stage 1, the scalp often becomes more apparent when the hair is parted at the crown.

Female pattern hair loss in stage 2 is marked by increased scalp visibility in the central part, with further thinning in the surrounding areas. Stage 3 indicates extensive thinning across the entire scalp. Traction alopecia, often seen in women, occurs when tight hairstyles cause irreversible hair loss at the edges of the scalp.

Treatment For Female Pattern Hair Loss: Scalp Micropigmentation

SMP, or Scalp Micropigmentation, is an advanced, non-invasive technique designed to combat female pattern baldness. Through the use of organic, plant-based pigments, SMP creates the realistic appearance of hair follicles on the scalp, delivering immediate results that require no recovery period.

The pigments used at Zang SMP in Miami are carefully designed to imitate the look of genuine hair follicles, offering a non-surgical solution to hair loss. SMP is capable of covering bald areas, promoting the illusion of hair growth, and elevating your overall appearance.

To complete the SMP process, two to three sessions are usually needed. The initial sessions, which are spaced a week apart, are tailored to treat female pattern hair loss. A potential third session might be scheduled between one to three months later to adjust the density and perfect the appearance.

Here’s what you can expect with SMP:

• Immediately after your first SMP treatment, the pigments will seem more vivid as a result of their recent deposit onto the scalp.
• Within a day, the pigments will adjust and present a more settled appearance.
• After 48 to 72 hours, any redness that occurred will disappear. 
• When the settling phase is finished, your hair treatment will achieve a perfectly natural look.

Would a Hair Transplant Treat Hair Loss?

Hair transplants are generally not suitable for most cases of female pattern hair loss (or male pattern hair loss) due to their reliance on a supply of donor hair grafts, which might be limited when thinning is extensive across the entire head.

Moreover, placing hair grafts into regions with existing natural hair can pose a risk of injuring the current hair follicles during surgery, which might result in a decrease in hair quantity after the transplant.

For women with hair loss, SMP represents the safest and most effective permanent remedy. This technique delivers immediate results by restoring hair density, eliminating the risk of follicle damage, avoiding surgical procedures, and requiring no downtime.
