Hair Transplant for Women: A Solution for Hair Loss
Hair loss is usually seen as a male problem – but women also suffer from hereditary hair loss. This condition often manifests itself in a high forehead, thin hair on the crown or receding hairline.
Such thinning of the hair on the head can have a negative effect on your self-confidence. Millions of women in Germany are affected by this problem in the course of their lives.
A hair transplant for women eliminates the consequences of androgenetic alopecia and effectively combats the resulting hair loss. At Elithair, the procedure is carried out by experienced specialists who have in-depth expertise in the field.
Free Hair AnalysisHair Loss in Women: Causes and Diagnosis
Hair loss in women can be triggered by various causes, which need to be determined in advance. To diagnose the exact background of hair loss in women, it is important to consult a doctor or dermatologist.
The doctor may take a medical history, perform a physical examination and possibly order blood tests or a scalp biopsy to determine the underlying cause. Below we go into more detail about possible causes.
Free Hair AnalysisHormonal Changes and Hair Loss
Hormones play a crucial role in many bodily functions, including hair growth. Fluctuations in hormone levels can lead to various types of hair loss, which is a common problem and can affect women of all ages. The most common causes of hair loss in women are:
- Pregnancy
- Menopause
- Hormonal medications
- Genetic predisposition
- Autoimmune diseases
The effects of hormonal changes on hair growth are very individual and can vary from woman to woman. If hair loss is persistent or conspicuous, a doctor should always be consulted to clarify the cause and find a suitable treatment.
Traction alopecia: A condition often ignored
Traction alopecia is a type of hair loss caused by repeated excessive tension on the hair, e.g. hair pulled too tightly, braids that are too heavy or frequent weaving. These practices can lead to inflammation of the hair follicles and eventually to hair loss.
Women are more frequently affected by hair loss, especially women with frizzy or curly hair. The most susceptible areas are usually the forehead, temples and nape of the neck.
To prevent traction alopecia, it is important to choose less aggressive hairstyles and allow the hair to breathe.
Thinning Hair – A Common Phenomenon
Thinning hair is a common phenomenon in women, characterised by thin, brittle and less voluminous hair.
Several factors can be responsible for this, e.g. ageing, nutritional deficiencies (iron, vitamin B12), hormonal imbalance, medical treatments (chemotherapy), stress or even genetic factors.
To remedy the situation, you should consult a dermatologist to determine the exact cause and customise a suitable treatment.
The doctor can take a medical history, carry out a physical examination and arrange for blood tests.
Alternative Treatment Options
Besides medication, there are also several alternative treatments for hair loss in women. These include:
- PRP treatments: In PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatments, blood is drawn from the patient, processed, and then injected into the scalp. PRP has been shown to stimulate hair growth.
- Hair growth products: There are a variety of hair growth products on the market aimed at promoting hair growth. However, the effectiveness of these products varies and is not always proven. Therefore, these products should only be purchased from reputable shops.
It’s important to note that alternative treatments for hair loss are not always successful. You should always consult a doctor before using any alternative treatments.
What are the Advantages of Hair Transplantation for Women?
Permanent results: Unlike drug therapies, which often only work for as long as they are taken, a hair transplant for women offers a permanent solution. The transplanted hair continues to grow for a lifetime and does not fall out again.
Visual improvement: A thicker head of hair and a natural-looking hairline increase self-confidence and quality of life. Women feel more attractive and comfortable in their own skin again.
Better quality of life: A full head of hair means more freedom and quality of life. You can wear hairstyles that you have always wanted and show yourself off without shame or inhibitions.
Also for women, a hair transplant is a effective and life-lasting option to get back your full head of hair. In the past, this method was associated more with men, but developments in hair transplant surgery have made the treatment an attractive solution for women too.
For many women suffering from hair loss, a hair transplant can be a real ‘liberation’ and bring with it increased self-confidence. Numerous advantages speak in favour of this modern method of hair transplantation.
When Is a Hair Transplant Not Possible for Women?
It is important to know that a hair transplant is not suitable for all types of female hair loss. In the following conditions or circumstances, hair transplantation is not possible:
- Alopecia areata
- Chemotherapy
- Thyroid disorder
For women, there are also some special features that must be taken into account when carrying out a hair transplant:
- Donor Hair Distribution: Since women often have lower hair density at the back of their heads compared to men, it is essential to extract and distribute the donor hair carefully to achieve a natural result.
- Fine Hair: On average, women have finer hair than men. This must be considered when selecting the transplant method and preparing the scalp.
- Aesthetic Preferences: Women often have specific aesthetic desires for their hairstyles. The doctor should carefully consider these wishes when planning the hair transplant.
With the right experience and expertise, a hair transplant for women can lead to an excellent outcome and significantly improve quality of life.

SDHI Technique: The Exclusive Method for Women
When it comes to hair transplant methods for women, Elithair offers its patients the exclusive SDHI technique, developed by Dr. Balwi. This innovative technique combines the advantages of the Sapphire and DHI methods.
The Sapphire method is particularly effective for treating the forehead and temple areas, creating a natural result with a harmonious hairline. For thinning areas on the top of the head, the DHI technique is used. This method is known for its ability to provide high hair density, effectively covering bald spots.
By combining these two methods, the SDHI technique ensures full and natural hair coverage, maximizing both aesthetics and density.
Advance advice and planning
In a detailed consultation with one of our experienced doctors, we first clarify your individual needs and goals. Your hair loss and the affected areas will be analysed in detail.
A personal treatment plan is then drawn up using our exclusive Pre-Test System, which not only analyses your specific situation, but also which technique is most suitable for your hair situation.
Thanks to our innovative Sleep-Deep Method, you will feel 0% pain during your hair transplant.
Only 4 steps: Your Hair Transplant Procedure
The hair transplant procedure for women at Elithair is routine and always customised to the patient’s needs:
- Preparation with NEO FUE
- Extraction with FUE method
- Enrichment in nutrient solution
- Transplantation with SDHI method
Each of the 4 steps of your treatment is carried out by a specialised team. At the largest hair clinic in the world, we provide you with comprehensive and competent support from the initial consultation to aftercare.
Step 1: The NEOFUE® Preparation
The first step in hair transplantation for women is the NEO FUE procedure developed by Dr Balwi, which optimally prepares your hair for your treatment.
You apply the revitalising serum to your donor area in advance using a dermaroller – 7 and 1 day before your hair treatment. This provides your hair with nutrients and strengthens it.
Step 2: FUE Technique for Loosening & Removal
2: Graft removal
The modern FUE technique is used to loosen and remove your grafts.
Each individual graft (hair follicle) is first loosened in the donor area using a hollow needle with a micromotor that is customised to your hair thickness and can then be gently and precisely removed.
Step 3: Storage in a Nutrient Solution
Once your hair follicles are separated from the bloodstream, our specialists store and enrich them in a biotin nutrient solution. This ensures that your grafts are kept in ideal conditions before they are inserted into your bald spots.
Step 4: SDHI Technique for Transplantation
The exclusive SDHI method is often used in the final step of hair transplantation for women. The method developed by Dr Balwi combines the strengths of the Saphir and DHI methods.
The sapphire method ensures a natural result for your hairline. The thinning areas on the top of the head are treated with the DHI technique, which is characterised by high hair density.
