Hair Transplant Surgery for Women
Hairstyles are one of the most important things for women. With strong and healthy hair, any hairstyle can be achieved, building confidence and self-esteem. However, not every woman has a healthy and thick head of hair. Some women have hair loss problems due to various causes. These problems can’t be treated with medication, hair follicle stimulation, or maintenance with regular treatments.
Grow and Glow Hair Transplant Clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, provides a hair transplant service for women by doctors certified by world-class institutions to help take care of and solve hair problems for women.


Understanding Female Hair Loss
Hair transplants for women are often used to solve the physical problems of a pinched head, a wide forehead, or women who want to grow hair along their hairline to increase it or adjust their facial shape. Hair can also be transplanted and grown to cover scars. Forehead hairline transplantation, in addition to creating a desirable face frame, also can change the look of the face. It’s suitable for women who want their faces to look noticeably softer.
How Do Hair Transplants Differ for Men and Women
Hair transplant surgery for women often addresses hormonal, genetic and other common reasons for hair loss in women.
Hair transplantation for women uses the same treatments as men’s hair transplantation. Doctors will transfer the hair root cells from one area to another. However, female hair transplantations may have different therapeutic goals. Most of them are mainly done for aesthetic reasons, not to treat hair loss and thinning hair. This is because women are less affected by the hormone Dihydrotestosterone, known as “DHT”, which is the main problem for thinning hair and male-pattern baldness in men.
How Much Does a Hair Transplant for a Woman Cost?
The price of a forehead hair transplant depends on the number of grafts used and the hair transplantation technique chosen. The number of grafts used may be around 1,000-2,500 for a female hair transplant. A forehead hair transplant will give the recipient a permanent, beautifully shaped forehead. Many women decide to undergo forehead hairline transplant surgery because the results are definitely worth the expense.
Techniques of a Women’s Hair Transplant
Hair transplantation for women is a permanent treatment. Women who have a physical abnormality on the scalp may lose their confidence and self-esteem, or it may cause them anxiety. Whatever your problem is, you can consult with a hair transplant specialist to find the right solution. The doctor will help assess the number of grafts required and design the hairline that is most suitable for you, including suggestions to solve the problem of a wide forehead or a pinched head. You’ll definitely see better results.
Hair Transplant Option for Women
Similar to men’s hair transplantation, there are 2 techniques for women’s hair transplantation: FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) techniques.

Hair Transplantation for Women Using the FUT Technique
The FUT hair transplantation technique is a hair transplant that surgically removes part of the scalp containing strong and healthy hair follicles. The hair follicles are sorted under a microscope and the follicle cells are then transplanted to the desired area. There is a higher chance of success using the FUT method than other methods of permanent hair transplantation. However, the surgery leaves a small scar on the back of the scalp.

Hair Transplantation for Women with the FUE Technique
The FUE hair transplantation technique uses a small incision, of about 0.8 - 1.0 millimeters, to penetrate the scalp and extract the hair follicle cells directly. Then, the hair root cells are transplanted to grow hair in the desired area. However, female hair transplantation using the FUE technique takes longer and is more difficult to perform than the FUT technique, resulting in a higher price.
For long hair transplants without shaving, the FUE technique is recommended. There is also a DHI (direct hair implantation) technique that’s similar to the FUE method. The DHI uses an implanter tool that gives the doctor a greater amount of precision.
