Facing Female Alopecia

Facing Female Alopecia: At DHI Panama, we understand that hair loss, or alopecia, is a common concern affecting a large number of people. While much attention has been given to male pattern baldness, it is equally important to address female alopecia, as it can have a significant impact on women’s self-esteem and quality of life. We have a team of experts specialized in diagnosing and offering the most effective solutions to this condition.

Causes of Female Alopecia:

Female alopecia can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

1. Genetic factors: Genetic predisposition can be a determining factor in hair loss in women.
2. Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes, such as those occurring during menopause or pregnancy, can trigger alopecia.
3. Stress and anxiety: Chronic stress can affect the hair growth cycle, causing temporary or even permanent hair loss.
4. Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome or hypothyroidism, can contribute to female alopecia.
5. Medical treatments: Certain medical treatments, like chemotherapy, can cause temporary hair loss. What is Hair Transplant?

Hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves taking hair follicles from donor areas of the scalp and transplanting them to areas with hair loss. It is an effective and permanent solution for restoring hair in areas affected by alopecia. At DHI Panama, this procedure is performed using the DHI technique, which delivers natural results and permanent hair growth.

Pre-Transplant Evaluation:

Before undergoing a hair transplant, a comprehensive evaluation by a specialized hair transplant surgeon is essential. During the consultation, the quality of the hair, the donor area, the extent of hair loss, and the most suitable treatment plan for each patient will be examined and discussed.

Hair Transplant Procedure:

Hair transplant is generally performed using one of the following three main techniques:

1. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): In this technique, individual hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area and implanted in the recipient areas.
2. Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): In this approach, a strip of tissue is extracted from the donor area, and hair follicles are separated for subsequent implantation.
3. DHI – Direct Hair Implantation: In the DHI technique, follicular extraction is similar to FUE but with a tiny tool to minimize scarring, following strict care protocols that guarantee the premium result that only DHI provides. Additionally, implantation is done using a tool patented by DHI Global Medical Group, which allows our specialist to have full control over the direction, angle, and depth of the follicle.

Results and Recovery:

Hair transplant results may vary from patient to patient, but overall, gradual hair growth is observed after the procedure. Recovery is mostly quick, and normal activities can be resumed within a few days.

Hair transplant is an increasingly popular and effective option for combating female alopecia and restoring hair in a natural and lasting way. If you are experiencing hair loss, we encourage you to consult with a specialized DHI hair transplant surgeon to discuss your options and determine if this procedure is right for you. Remember, regaining the confidence and natural beauty of your hair is possible with the technology and medical knowledge available today. Do not hesitate to take the step towards a head full of vitality and health!
