Laser Hair Therapy for Female Hair Loss

Hair loss in women can be troublesome, both physically and emotionally. There is a normal amount of shedding that everyone has each day, however if you feel your hair loss is excessive it is important that you find out the cause of your hair loss. 

If you find that your hair loss is related to things you are doing to yourself, such as rigorous grooming, discontinuing the behavior will help the hair grow back.  Other causes of hair loss in women include pregnancy and stress.

A promising hair loss treatment for women is laser hair therapy.  Watch this clip as Lacey, a 25-year-old woman experiencing female pattern baldness, tries laser hair therapy to treat her thinning hair. 

If you are interested in learning about laser hair therapy treatments, talk to the hair loss professionals at the Hair Restoration Institute of DFW. We are the only hair restoration clinic in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex to offer FDA-approved laser hair therapy treatments for women.

What to Expect After Hair Restoration Surgery

For people who are experiencing hair loss, one treatment option is hair restoration surgery. With this procedure, you can begin to regrow hair. Here is an overview of what you can expect after your hair restoration surgery procedure.

Recovery Time

After hair restoration surgery, the patient will spend only a few days recovering, at most. Many normal activities can be resumed the day after surgery. It is important, however, to follow your doctor's instructions to the letter so that you don't risk damaging your newly transplanted hair.

Timeline of Results

While the incisions and implantation sites will heal within a couple of days, you won't begin to see results for several months. It takes time for the newly restored hair to begin growing and for it to reach the length and fullness you desire. Most people begin to see some results in six to eight months, with full results in about 18 months.

Side Effects

When hair restoration surgery is performed by an experienced professional, the risk of serious side effects is minimal. Some symptoms, such as itching, occur in many patients as the scalp begins to heal. Though incredibly rare, more severe symptoms should prompt you to call your doctor, including: nausea, bleeding, swelling, headaches, and numbness.

Hair Care

You can resume washing and drying your hair and soon as your doctor approves. You should be gentle with the restoration sites and only use doctor-recommended shampoos and conditioners on your hair and scalp. Also, be sure to ask your doctor about the use of any styling products. Gently brush or comb your hair; if you choose to wear a hat, make sure it is loose-fitting.

The Effects of Hair Loss Aren't Just Physical

Hair loss is commonly associated with men, but it impacts women as well. In fact, women can suffer more from the emotional aspect of losing their hair than men. 

Here are some of the ways hair loss can affect a woman emotionally:

Femininity

For many women, their sense of femininity is closely tied to their hair. Long, flowing hair often symbolizes beauty and losing such a defining physical characteristic can make a woman feel less like herself and less feminine.

Confidence

If a woman wakes up to clumps of hair on the pillow or in the shower, her confidence can be shaken. She may feel as though others will see her differently. Such a dramatic physical change can leave women wondering whether they are suffering from a serious physiological condition. This doubt and a loss of sense of self can easily make any woman feel less confident.

Attractiveness

A woman who is suffering from hair loss may feel less beautiful as long as she has thin hair. She may even withdraw from social situations or isolate herself from friends and others.

Happiness

When all these factors come together, a woman experiencing hair loss can suffer from depression. Conversely, clinical depression is believed to exacerbate hair loss.

Hair Transplants: The Bald Truth

Hair restoration has come a long way from the premier transplant process.  Today, Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplants, allow surgeons to take hair out individually, minimizing scaring. Learn more about the evolution of hair transplants from the mid-90s to today in this clip featured as part of Bloomberg’s “The Bald Truth.”

Hair transplants may not be as economical as other hair loss treatment options. The Hair Restoration Institute of DFW offers multiple treatment options to fit your lifestyle, including: hair transplants, laser hair therapy, hair loss control products, and more!
