Female hair loss and hair transplant for women in Viña del Mar

Many women notice that their hair is thinner, that their part looks wider or that they are shedding more than before. At Clínica Lumos, Dr. Evelyn Alfonso sees many female patients: she looks for the cause of the hair loss and defines the treatment, with or without surgery.

When indicated, female hair transplant is performed without shaving, so you keep your appearance from day one.

How it presents

Hair loss in women is different

Unlike in men, female androgenetic alopecia usually preserves the frontal hairline and causes a diffuse loss of density on the top of the head.

The part looks wider.
More scalp shows under certain lighting.
The ponytail is thinner than before.
In some women, the temples recede more.

Most common causes of hair loss in women

Or other nutrients; common in women.

Postpartum shedding

Heavy shedding a few months after giving birth, usually temporary.

Diagnosis

First, find out why it is falling out

Frequently asked questions

Hair loss in women

Can women get a hair transplant?

Yes, in selected cases: when the alopecia is stable and the donor area is good. It is done with the unshaven FUE technique, so you keep your appearance from day one. Dr. Alfonso determines whether you are a candidate during the evaluation.

Do I have to shave my head?

No. For women we use unshaven techniques: with long hair or with a partial shave that stays hidden under your own hair.

Is hair loss after giving birth normal?

Postpartum shedding is common and usually temporary. If the hair loss lasts or worries you, it is worth having it evaluated to rule out other causes.

What tests do I need?

It depends on your case. Blood tests are often ordered, for example to check thyroid and iron. You can have them done at the clinic.
