In the past women were not considered good candidates for a hair transplant because the procedure was not efficient enough to benefit them. While men were benefiting from hair transplant surgeries, it was rarely considered a workable treatment for their female counterparts suffering from hair loss. However, the latest advancements in surgical hair restoration have made female hair transplant in Dubai an ideal solution. Barring certain circumstances, females make equally good candidates for hair transplant.

Before & After Results
The results of a hair transplant are life-lasting. The healthiest hair from the balding-resistant areas of your scalp are taken for transplantation purposes. Therefore, they do not fall out easily even after being shifted to the baldness-prone areas. No Guarantee, as the results may vary from person to person.
Are You a Candidate?
Since women usually have diffuse hair thinning, they are not considered ideal candidates for hair transplant treatment. However, 2 to 5 percent of women suffer from a hair loss pattern that can be treated with hair transplant surgery. You are a good candidate for female hair transplant in Dubai if:
- You want to restore hair around a surgical scar.
- You have a distinct baldness pattern – a receded hairline or crown thinning.
- You are suffering from hair loss caused by mechanical or traction alopecia.
- You have hair loss caused by trauma – injury scars, burn scars, or chemical burns.
Female Hair Transplant Goals
Like a male hair transplant, the main objective of female hair transplant treatment is also to restore a thicker and fuller head of hair and enhance your appearance. Some major goals of the treatment are;
- To help you restore lost hair.
- Fill any bald patches caused by trauma or injury scars.
- Boost your self-confidence through an enhanced and youthful look.
Female Hair Transplant Techniques
Since women do not suffer from severe baldness, like men, they are not considered good candidates for the strip removal method, also known as Follicular Unit Transplant. Females have two options available for surgical hair restoration:
- FUE Hair Transplant – Hair grafts are extracted manually using a punch tool.
- Stem Cell FUE Hair Transplant –a specially designed automated punch tool is used for donor hair harvesting.
Pre-op Preparation
If you have been declared a candidate for a female hair transplant in Dubai and you are planning to undergo the surgery sometime in the near future, here are some tips on how to prepare for the surgery to get the most out of it:
- Stop taking aspirin and other blood thinners 14 to 20 days prior to the surgery.
- Get all the tests done and prescriptions filled well in advance.
Procedure
Following steps are involved in the Latest Female Hair Transplant Surgery:
Step 1 – Preparation of donor area: Hair on the donor area will be trimmed really short to make it easier for the surgeon to extract individual hair follicles.
Step 2 – Anesthesia: After trimming and marking the donor area, local anesthesia is administered. It makes the donor area numb and the harvesting process painless.
Step 3 – Extraction of donor’s hair: Then using either of the manual FUE Hair Transplant or Stem Cell FUE, the surgeon extracts donor hair.
Step 4 – Preparing grafts: The extracted follicles are then carefully trimmed under a powerful microscope by the technical staff to obtain grafts of the desired size.
Step 5 – Anesthesia again: Once the graft extraction process is complete, anesthesia is once again administered, but this time to the recipient area.
Step 6 – Preparing the recipient area: After numbing the recipient area, the surgeon makes tiny incisions at specific angles in the areas with bald patches or hair thinning.
Step 7 – Inserting grafts: The last step of the surgery is graft insertion. The surgeon carefully places the grafts into the tiny incisions, making sure they reach the desired depth and do not pop out.
Post-op Care
