FEMALE HAIR RESTORATION
Women Experience Hair Loss, Too
So much attention is paid to men’s hair loss that it’s easy to forget that many women experience hair loss as well.
In fact, about 25% of women have thinning or lost hair. The majority (95%) of them experience hair loss because of hormonal changes, such as during pregnancy or menopause.
What Can Women Do To Fight Hair Loss?
Thankfully, many of the same procedures available to men are also available to women:
- FUE Hair Transplant
- Long Hair FUE Hair Transplant (let’s you keep your hair long instead of shaving it for the procedure)
- Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
- Robotic FUE Hair Transplant
- FUT Hair Transplant
- Medical Therapy

Can females get hair transplants?
Although hair transplant for women is possible, women are not typically good candidates. When it comes to hair loss, most women experience overall thinning of hair across the scalp, including the donor areas, which are usually the sides and back of the scalp.
In men, the donor area remains stable and unaffected by the follicle-killing dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This means the surgeon can successfully extract healthy hair follicles from the donor site.
In women, the DHT shrinks hair follicles from the donor site, making it unstable for extracting follicles. Thus hair restoration treatment for women may not always be an effective option.
Is the female hair transplant procedure permanent?
Regardless of your gender, a hair transplant can yield permanent, natural-looking results. However, to achieve long-lasting results, you must carefully follow all the guidelines and instructions laid down by your surgeon to ensure you are giving your new hair grafts the care they need.
After the healing process, the transplanted follicles begin to grow hair that will fill out the bald patches on your scalp and continue to develop similar to your natural hair. However, these follicles also have a lifespan like your natural hair. Therefore, you need to carefully monitor your lifestyle and food choices after a hair transplant operation. Follow a healthy diet packed with all the nutrients your hair needs. Additionally, exercise regularly to enhance the blood circulation in your scalp and to keep your hair strong. You may also need multiple sessions or need hair transplant sessions later in life. Discuss all your options with your provider.
What factors affect candidacy for female hair restoration?
Factors include the pattern and extent of hair loss, donor hair availability, and overall health.

Dr. Burka is very knowledgeable and honest. This is refreshing in the hair industry. He did a great job with my transplant (I added the robot option). I could not recommend him further.

Dr. Burka and his staff did an amazing job of explaining all of the options for hair restoration and the pros/cons of each. They listened to my questions and needs and helped design a specific treatment plan without prescribing or forcing any specific procedure. Additionally Dr. Burka responded to my email questions prior to choosing to work with him. Highly recommend just for a consultation and certainly for any treatment as well.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish. Initially, I consulted with 7 different hair transplant clinics in the NoVa/DMV area and felt that Dr. Burka was the most understanding and least salesy. During our initial free in-person consultation, he really took the time to listen to my unique situation and carefully explain all my options to achieve my goals (In comparison, most others offered virtual or rushed in-person consultations with cookie-cutter recommendations of ~2000 graft FUE and no supplementary treatments). Further, Dr. Burka’s holistic approach – including medication and specialized Alma TED treatments prior to the surgery – have really improved the efficacy of my hair transplant. Even if you live farther away from his clinic (I live ~45mins away) you won’t regret the extra travel time.Now about the hair transplant itself: I did a 4500 graft FUT which is relatively more gnarly with the incision. Dr. Burka was very meticulous, and his team ensured I was comfortable throughout the day and felt as little pain as possible. The techs who harvested then placed the grafts clearly knew exactly what they were doing and were very friendly. They actually harvested more grafts than we anticipated, but didn’t rush anything and stayed until past 7pm to make sure everything went smoothly and all the grafts were placed correctly. Everyone involved was super professional and went above & beyond to make sure I was comfortable and that I’d get the best results possible.My followup appointments for the first hair wash & stitches removal went smoothly since Dr. Burka provided very clear instructions that I followed. I’m about 3 weeks post-surgery now and everything seems to be going according to plan. I was expecting more shedding of the newly implanted grafts at this stage, but the ALMA TED treatment I got on Dr. Burka’s recommendation seems to have minimized the shedding. I’m very grateful for his uniquely well-informed advice (no other clinic in the area provided me this insight) and look forward to seeing results gradually over the coming months.Last but not least – Dr. Burka’s team is super talented and friendly. Sarah and Valerie are awesome and make me feel welcome every appointment. I can’t thank you all enough for helping me restore my hair and confidence. I look forward to coming for routine checkups in the following months!
