Stages of Female Hair Loss
Hair loss experts use the Ludwig scale to assess the degree of female pattern hair loss. In Stage 1, the scalp is barely visible when the hair is parted, showing early signs of thinning.
Stage 2 marks increased thinning, especially in the central scalp area, where the scalp becomes more visible. Stage 3, the most severe stage, is characterized by extensive thinning across the entire scalp. Another condition contributing to hair loss is traction alopecia, which occurs due to tight hairstyles like braids, potentially leading to permanent hair loss at the edges of the scalp.
Treatment For Female Pattern Hair Loss: Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is an innovative, non-invasive solution for women suffering from female pattern baldness. By using organic, plant-based pigments, SMP creates a natural-looking illusion of hair follicles on the scalp. The result is a fuller, thicker head of hair with no need for surgery or long recovery periods.
At Zang SMP, we pride ourselves on using only the highest quality pigments, which mimic real hair follicles. This ensures that the results are seamless and natural-looking. SMP is highly effective at covering bald spots, simulating hair growth, and enhancing overall hair appearance. It provides a significant confidence boost, offering a safe, non-surgical alternative to hair transplants or other invasive treatments.
Typically, the process requires two to three sessions. The first two sessions are spaced one week apart and are tailored to address specific hair loss patterns in women. A third session may be scheduled one to three months later, if necessary, to refine the results and achieve a final, flawless appearance.
Would a Hair Transplant Treat Hair Loss?
For most individuals experiencing female and male pattern hair loss, hair transplants are often not the most effective or ideal treatment option. This is because hair transplants rely on donor hair grafts, which can be scarce or unavailable when thinning affects the entire scalp.
Furthermore, placing grafts into areas where natural hair still exists can potentially damage existing follicles. This unintended damage may lead to even more hair loss, which means the procedure may not produce the desired results.
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a far more reliable and long-lasting solution for female hair loss. SMP creates the appearance of fuller hair density immediately, without surgery, grafts, or downtime. It also avoids the risk of damaging natural follicles, making it a safer choice than hair transplants.
