Female Pattern Baldness

The freedom to style a full head of natural hair helps many women feel in touch with their femininity, sense of fashion, and ability to express themselves. When dealing with female pattern baldness, they can lose this freedom, leading to frustration and embarrassment.

In a city as fashionable and expressive as New York City, women want to retain their confidence in a head of thick, full hair. To get treated for female pattern baldness, book a consultation at LM Medical NYC in Downtown New York City, where you will speak with our Board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Morgan Rabach.

What is a Female Pattern Baldness?

Female pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common form of hereditary hair loss in women. Women with female pattern baldness experience their hair follicles progressively shrinking, resulting in short, finer hair. It is different from male pattern baldness, which often causes complete baldness. Female pattern baldness widens the natural center part and causes overall thinning at the crown.

Female pattern baldness can be treated in a variety of ways. When you come to our Downtown New York City office for your consultation, Dr. Rabach will recommend the best treatment for your condition.

FUE is an advanced, minimally invasive hair restoration procedure that gently extracts individual hair follicles from a donor area and transplants them to thinning or balding areas. This contrasts with traditional hair transplant techniques, which extract a donor strip containing thousands of hair follicles and require large incisions. FUE is often chosen for its natural-looking results, minimal scarring, and fast recovery time.

What to Expect on the Day of a Female Pattern Baldness Treatment

Your female pattern baldness treatment will look different depending on which one you get. Oral and topical treatments will be prescribed, and you can pick them up at a pharmacy or buy them online and take/apply them at home. Dr. Rabach will give you instructions on how to use/apply them, as well as the dosage.

Minimally invasive treatments, such as microneedling and PRP injections, involve a 30- to 60-minute, virtually painless treatment session at our Downtown New York City office using the techniques explained above.

FUE and FUT use local anesthetic before any incisions or extractions are performed to ensure a comfortable experience. During FUE, Dr. Rabach carefully harvests individual follicles using a specialized NeoGraft device and places them into tiny incisions in the recipient area. During FUT, Dr. Rabach carefully removes a thin strip of scalp from the donor area and meticulously dissects it under a microscope to isolate individual follicular units. The follicular units are then transplanted into tiny incisions in the balding and thinning areas.

A red light therapy session takes about 25 minutes. You will sit with a specialized helmet and wear protective goggles as a panel directs red light onto your scalp to stimulate dormant hair follicles. The session is completely painless.

Female Pattern Baldness Treatment Recovery

The recovery period looks different depending on which procedure you get . The recovery period looks different depending on which procedure you get. Non-surgical procedures require minimal to no downtime. Minimally invasive and surgical procedures such as microneedling, PRP injections, FUE, and FUT can cause mild swelling, soreness, and redness, which typically subside within a few days to a week.

Hair grows slowly, and shedding may worsen before improving with non-surgical treatments. New hair growth for FUE and FUT is noticeable within 3 to 4 months.

Combining My Female Pattern Baldness with Other Treatments

Some patients combine several female pattern baldness treatments with each other, depending on their needs. Combining treatments can stimulate hair growth from multiple angles, increase efficiency, and provide superior results. You will discuss the possibilities during your consultation with Dr. Rabach at her Downtown New York City office.
