Hair transplants are a great option for men, but they don’t always work for women. Most women have diffuse hair loss, or thinning and shedding hair across the scalp, impacting the sides and back of the head. These areas work as effective donor areas for hair transplants in men but are unstable for women, and the transplanted hair will just fall out.

Hormonal imbalances and changes often bring on hair loss in women. Those with a history of female-pattern hair loss are more likely to experience these issues. Impacted areas are unstable and affected by dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which kills hair follicles.

Hair restoration that involves attaching artificial hair or transplanting fibers to existing strands may sound promising, but it can look unnatural. Think of it as building levels onto a weakened foundation. Hair fibers typically fall on the scalp instead of bonding with the hair strands. They can be uncomfortable and give a dull, lifeless look.

Laser caps from competitors lack the strength and precision needed for the best results, especially for women with specific hair restoration needs. In-clinic LLLT, on the other hand, has precise laser delivery that effectively and deeply stimulates hair follicles.

Hair restoration options from competitors aren’t long-term solutions and don’t consider hormonal imbalances or genetic factors. Due to the different needs for women, the best option for women experiencing hair thinning and hair loss is LLLT combined with custom topical medications.
