Stages of Female Hair Loss
Hair loss experts use the Ludwig scale to classify the extent of female pattern hair loss, with stage 1 representing the least severe form and stage 3 indicating the most severe. At stage 1, the scalp tends to be more visible when the hair is parted on the crown.
In stage 2 of female pattern hair loss, the central scalp area becomes more visible, with thinning extending to adjacent regions. Stage 3 is marked by significant thinning across the entire scalp. Another common form of hair loss in women is traction alopecia, which occurs when tight hairstyles result in permanent hair loss around the hairline.
Treatment For Female Pattern Hair Loss: Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) provides a revolutionary, non-surgical option for addressing female pattern baldness. This technique involves implanting organic, plant-based pigments into the scalp to simulate the look of natural hair follicles, offering an instant improvement in hair density without any need for recovery.
At Zang SMP in New York, pigments are expertly developed to replicate the look of actual hair follicles, providing a non-invasive alternative to surgery or hair transplants. SMP successfully covers bald spots, simulates hair growth, and enhances your overall image.
The typical SMP treatment involves two to three sessions. The first sessions are scheduled a week apart and are specifically crafted for addressing female pattern hair loss. If additional refinement is required, a third session may be held one to three months later to achieve optimal density and appearance.
Would a Hair Transplant Treat Hair Loss?
For many instances of female pattern hair loss (as well as male pattern hair loss), hair transplants may not be the most effective treatment. This method depends on having enough donor hair grafts, which can be problematic when thinning is widespread over the whole scalp.
Another consideration is that transplanting grafts into areas with pre-existing hair may inadvertently damage some of the original hair follicles, which could leave the patient with a lower hair count than prior to the procedure.
SMP is the most secure and effective permanent solution available for women with hair loss. It successfully restores full hair density instantly, with no risk of damaging hair follicles, no need for surgery, and no downtime required.
