Stages of Female Hair Loss
The Ludwig scale is a tool used by hair loss specialists to evaluate the severity of female pattern hair loss, ranging from stage 1, the mildest, to stage 3, the most severe. In stage 1, the scalp usually becomes more noticeable when the hair is parted on the crown.
Stage 2 of female pattern hair loss involves increased scalp visibility in the central area, with thinning spreading to the surrounding regions. Stage 3 indicates more severe thinning that affects the entire scalp. Traction alopecia is another type of hair loss frequently observed in women, caused by tight hairstyles that lead to permanent hair loss along the edges of the scalp.
Treatment For Female Pattern Hair Loss: Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a state-of-the-art, non-surgical treatment for female pattern baldness. By implanting organic, plant-based pigments into the scalp, SMP creates the appearance of natural hair follicles, delivering an instant boost in hair density without the need for recovery time.
Zang SMP in NYC uses pigments that are specifically formulated to replicate natural hair follicles, allowing for a non-surgical transformation of your appearance. SMP can effectively mask bald spots, create the impression of hair growth, and improve your overall look.
The SMP process often includes two to three sessions. Initial sessions are spaced a week apart and are tailored to target female pattern hair loss. If needed, a third session can be scheduled one to three months later to perfect the hair density and enhance the overall look.
Would a Hair Transplant Treat Hair Loss?
Hair transplants are often not the ideal solution for most cases of female pattern hair loss (or male pattern hair loss) because they rely on a sufficient supply of donor hair grafts, which may be inadequate when thinning affects the entire scalp.
Additionally, if grafts are inserted into regions that already have natural hair, there is a possibility that the surgical implantation could affect some of the existing follicles, potentially resulting in reduced hair density post-transplant.
As a permanent solution for women with hair loss, SMP is both safe and highly effective. It restores hair density immediately, avoiding risks related to follicle damage, eliminating the need for surgery, and requiring no recovery period.
