Women's hair transplant: not the only solution to hair loss

Hair loss or hair loss is not just a problem for men - as many as 1 in 2 women will experience some form of extreme hair loss during her lifetime. Only in women, it does not necessarily lead to baldness. What can you do about such hair loss? Is a hair transplant the only option?

Let's get right to the point: a hair transplant is not the only way to restore volume to your hair. At Sarasin Clinic we offer a less invasive but equally effective solution: a hair filler.

In this article, we will tell you all about hair loss, its effects on women and how to treat it. Of course, we also tell you how we do it at Sarasin Clinic and why we are specialists in this area.

What is hair loss?

  • First things first: what is hair loss? It is important to distinguish between hair loss and hair loss here. The former is normal, the latter not so much. But how do you know if you have hair loss or hair loss?
  • We speak of hair loss when it refers to a normal amount of hair. A normal amount includes anything between 50 and 120 hairs per day. Now of course you shouldn't try to keep track of every hair you lose like crazy, but it gives you an idea.
  • If you are dealing with hair loss (also called alopecia), you will really notice it. With hair loss, for example, you will see that your hair is getting thinner and thinner . The appearance of bald patches can also indicate that you are dealing with hair loss.

What are the consequences of hair loss?

You read it above, the consequences of hair loss are not minus. It leaves you with bald patches and your remaining hair becomes very thin. However, hair loss does not only cause problems on a physical level. It can also have deep repercussions mentally , especially for women. This has also been scientifically proven.

Hair loss in women can be mentally draining

  • For women, or people who identify as women, hair can be very important. In fact, it often goes hand in hand with self-confidence. If your hair doesn't look good, it can greatly affect your mood and self-confidence.
  • In addition, there is often little known about the causes of hair loss in women. Sometimes women first try to tackle the problem with all kinds of hair care products. Eventually it turns out that nothing works, the hair loss persists or in the worst case even increases.
  • Because there is relatively little talk about hair loss in women, you may feel that you are the only one with this problem. However, as you read above, 50% of women experience hair loss at some point in their lives. So you are definitely not the only one struggling with this problem!
  • Apart from that, it is completely understandable that you sometimes feel powerless in your fight against hair loss. Finding a solution is not always obvious, giving women a lack of perspective . It often helps tremendously if you can address the cause of hair loss or reduce its impact.
  • Therefore, below we list some of the causes of hair loss. If you do not find the cause of hair loss, or if you do not want to walk around with bald patches or very thin hair in the meantime, a hair filler is a good solution.

Causes of hair loss in women

There are lots of causes for hair loss in women. The biggest causes are hereditary certain factors, health problems, damage from overheating and the condition Alopecia Areata.

Although we list here possible causes of hair loss, it is important that you do not self-diagnose. Instead, work with a doctor or specialist to find the specific cause of your problem.

Hereditary hair loss or androgenetic alopecia

For example, the cause for your excessive hair loss may be hereditary. In that case, we speak of androgenetic alopecia. Although it is said that androgenetic alopecia is mainly a problem in men, this is not necessarily the case.

Androgenetic alopecia in women

We know mostly about the male variant, but women can also suffer from androgenetic alopecia. There is even scientific evidence that shows that such forms of excessive hair loss are increasing in women.

You can have this form of hair loss due to an increase in androgens. If this is the case we speak of female androgenic alopecia. If there is no increase in androgens we speak of femal pattern hair loss or hair loss according to the female pattern.

Alopecia Areata in women

When you are dealing with alopecia areata, you will notice that your hair falls out very quickly and you gradually develop bald patches. Many claim that this is an autoimmune disease, but the exact cause of this condition is not known until now.

With hair fillers, you can address the bald patches caused by alopecia areata. Are you a woman and suffering from alopecia areata? Then be sure to scroll on, as below we provide what hair fillers are and what they can do for you.

Health problems in women

In addition to androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, health problems also play a major role in hair loss. For example, diseases with fever can lead to hair loss. By the way, did you know that studies are now even being controughed on the link between the coronavirus and hair loss?

Transcendence of hair in women

That heat is not conducive to hair health, we already knew. But that it can also cause hair loss? It's best to be careful about exposing your hair to heat. Especially in people who frequently manipulate the natural properties of their hair, hair loss occurs more common.

Not only heat can cause hair loss, but other ways of hairstyling can also lead to hair loss. Consider traction alopecia, for example. This is a form of hair loss caused by continuous tension on the hair.

This occurs, for example, in people who very often wear their hair in a tight bun. In addition, traction alopecia also affects ⅓ women with African roots. For example cornrows and weaves or extensions cause hair loss after prolonged use.

Hair transplant women: the only option against hair loss?

Often, people only know of hair transplantation as a solution to these problems. However, there are also lesser-known alternatives that can address hair loss. These include a PRP treatment or a treatment with hair fillers...

What these entail and what their advantages are over a hair transplant, you will read below.

Hair transplant women: how does it work?

  • Hair transplantation in women basically looks the same as treatment in men. In a hair transplant, hair follicles (also grafts called) moved from one place to another.
  • For example, if you move hair follicles from the back of your head to another area of the scalp, the transplanted hairs on your scalp will continue to grow. So people who undergo hair transplantation get new hair growth in the target area.

Advantages hair transplant women

  • Undergoing a hair transplant brings many benefits. For example, one advantage is that the end result offers a permanent solution. That is, you can eventually treat the transplanted hair as your original hair.
  • Just after treatment, of course, you will need some aftercare and caution. But once the hair is settled , it will continue to grow throughout your life! As wonderful as that sounds, a hair transplant is not for everyone.

Disadvantages hair transplant women

Besides advantages, a hair transplant also has some disadvantages. We are happy to list them for you below.

Hair transplant women: not for everyone
  • A first disadvantage is that a hair transplant is not for everyone . One condition for undergoing a hair transplant is that you must have a good donor area. That is, there must be sufficient hair density in the donor area.
  • Since the hair on the back of your head is used as the donor area, you do not qualify for a hair transplant if you do not have enough hair there to fill the areas where you have hair loss. On top of that, hair transplantation is also not recommended in case of various diseases.
Hair transplantation: long wait for results
  • An additional disadvantage is that you have to wait a fairly long time before you see the results of a hair transplant treatment. It also takes 9 to 12 months before the final result is visible.
  • A hair transplant can also never be a solution for thinning hair due to diffuse hair loss, for example. The hair that grows back after a hair transplant is often not as thick as your original hair.
Hair transplant costs run high
  • The cost of a hair transplant can be very high. For one treatment, you cough up at least 3,000 euros. This makes it simply not an option for some people.
  • How much you pay for a hair transplant obviously depends a lot on the situation, the area to be treated and the specialist you choose for this treatment. That is, the price can still go well above 3,000 euros. Some people therefore choose to go abroad for a cheap treatment.
  • However, a hair transplant abroad is not without risk. Often the lower price is accompanied by inferior quality. We find that customer satisfaction with a hair transplant abroad is also much lower.
Hair transplantation is time intensive
  • A final disadvantage of hair transplantation is that it is enormously time-consuming. A treatment takes an average of 8 hours! A hair transplant is actually a surgical procedure that is performed under local anesthesia and is therefore fairly intensive. Moreover, many people also experience the period after the treatment as painful to some extent.
  • After the treatment, you should also count on a recovery time of at least a week. So a hair transplant is a fairly radical treatment. And time is something that is very precious.

Hair filler women: a worthy alternative to hair transplantation

Since a hair transplant for women still has a lot of disadvantages, it is interesting to look at alternatives. One very effective alternative is the hair filler. This is a injectable based on peptide-hyaluronic acid.

Working with a hair filler ensures that the hair follicles are repaired and the scalp becomes healthier. It is scientifically proven that hair loss decreases and stronger, healthier hair grows back.

Benefits hair filler women

Hair filler treatment against hair loss offers a lot of benefits. As you read above, it stops your hair loss. The treatment itself also stimulates blood circulation and hydration of the scalp. In addition, however, the treatment has other benefits.

Improves the quality of hair
  • Unlike a hair transplant, with hair fillers you improve the quality of the existing hair. Whereas with a hair transplant you do get hair regrowth, but have to compromise on the quality of the hair, this is not the case with hair fillers.
  • With hair fillers, not only will you achieve new hair growth, you will also get a full head of hair. The hairs that grow back are of better quality. Specifically, that means both hair density and hair thickness improve.
  • Because hair fillers are so effective in creating a healthy head of hair , women with thinning hair, a receding hairline and scattered hair loss due to aging also choose this treatment.
Fast and immediate results
  • Women often see results after the first treatment in the form of a cessation of hair loss. If women choose the protocol of 1 session every two weeks, for a total of eight weeks, you will see results very quickly.
  • The final result can be seen after a maximum of eight weeks. Once the final result is visible, you will notice that the thickness and density of the existing hair has increased and that there is accelerated hair regrowth .
  • After you complete the chosen protocol, we recommend a maintenance session every six months. The result of a treatment with hair filler is not permanent, requiring a repeat treatment.
Less time intensive than a hair transplant
  • Whereas treatment for a hair transplant easily takes 8 hours, treatment with hair fillers is much shorter. The treatment itself takes an average of 15 to 30 minutes. So you never spend a full day with it .
  • The recovery time of a hair filler treatment is also minimal. Whereas a hair transplant requires a week of recovery time, a hair filler treatment allows you to resume your daily life immediately.
  • The only side effects you may experience from treatment with hair fillers are redness, swelling, bruising, itching and mild irritation of the scalp. Within 72 hours, however, these side effects disappear.
More cost-effective than a hair transplant
  • A hair filler treatment will also feel much less in your wallet. Whereas for a hair transplant you pay at least 3000 euros, for a hair filler treatment you will pay a maximum of 400 euros per treatment.
  • How many treatments you need depends very much on the area to be treated and which protocol you are following. Since that all depends from person to person discuss you discuss this with your treating physician prior to treatment. After this discussion the treatment can start immediately.

Limitations treatment with hair filler

  • Hair filler treatment is cheaper, less time-consuming and it does not require surgery. Still, the treatment is not for everyone. If you have no hair follicles left, a hair filler cannot help you.
  • Then you better opt for a hair transplant. However, a hair filler can increase the success rate of a hair transplant. In addition, it can also ensure that the transplanted hairs grow back thicker and firmer.

Does a hair filler treatment hurt?

  • Does such a treatment with hair fillers hurt? Since the esthetician uses a very fine needle to administer multiple injections into the area to be treated during the treatment, you will definitely feel the treatment.
  • The feeling can be described rather as unpleasant rather than painful. Because we want to keep these discomforts to a minimum, the treatment can be performed under local anesthesia for those who wish. For this we use an anesthetic gel.
  • You don't have to worry about pain after the treatment either. As we mentioned above, you may experience side effects for up to 72 hours at most after the treatment. To prevent the greatest swelling, we offer cooling for the scalp immediately after the treatment.

The 7 peptides and their action

  • Decapeptide-10 (CG- Keramin2): is responsible for nourishing the scalp and hair root
  • Octapeptide-11 (CG-Seperin): responsible for inhibiting stress-induced cell death
  • Octapeptide-2 (Prohairin-β4): is responsible for stimulating hair growth by (re)activating cells in the hair follicles
  • Decapeptide-18 (CG-WINT): responsible for the generation of new hair follicles
  • Decapeptide-28 (CG-Rehairin): is responsible for slowing down the hair loss process
  • Oligopeptide-54 (CG-Nokkin): helps inhibit hair loss
  • Oligopeptide-71 (CG-Edrin): responsible for promoting hair growth
