Finding the cause first
Hair fall in women can be driven by nutrition, iron levels or hormones. Weight can also play a part, because it affects hormone balance. A doctor examines your scalp and, where needed, suggests blood tests before recommending treatment.
Hair loss caused by the immune system attacking the follicles cannot be treated with a transplant. The doctor will tell you honestly if this applies to you.

HST for women: no shaving
With HST, the area being treated does not need to be shaved. Only a small donor patch is trimmed, and it is hidden by the surrounding hair. Most women return to normal activities within 2 to 3 days.
New growth typically begins at 3 to 4 months, with noticeable change by month 6 and the full result at 12 to 15 months.*
Questions people ask
Do women need to shave their head for a hair transplant at HASCI?+
No. The treated area is not shaved. Only a small donor patch is trimmed, and it is easily hidden by existing hair.
Can HST treat diffuse thinning?+
Yes. HST can increase density across wide areas of thinning, including a widening parting.*
Why does the doctor ask for blood tests?+
Hair fall can be driven by nutrition, iron levels or hormones. Treating the cause alongside the scalp gives treatment the best chance.
How long is recovery?+
Most women return to normal daily activities within 2 to 3 days. Small crusts fall off within 7 to 10 days.
