For years, hair transplant surgery has been perceived as a male-oriented solution. However, female hair loss is far more common than many realize. Today, thousands of women across the world are turning to modern hair transplant surgery to restore not only their hair but also their confidence.
In Turkey — one of the global leaders in medical aesthetics — Hairmedico, under the direction of Dr. Arslan Musbeh, offers state-of-the-art procedures specifically designed for female hair restoration. Using advanced FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) techniques, the clinic ensures natural-looking, long-lasting results tailored to each woman’s unique hair pattern and aesthetic needs.
Hair loss in women can have multiple causes, including:
Androgenetic alopecia (female pattern baldness)
Hormonal changes due to pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid imbalance
Nutritional deficiencies (iron, vitamin D, biotin, zinc)
Stress and emotional trauma
Excessive hairstyling (traction alopecia, tight ponytails, chemical treatments)
Medical conditions (PCOS, autoimmune diseases, anemia)
Unlike men, women rarely experience complete baldness. Instead, they suffer from diffuse thinning, particularly along the midline and crown areas.
| Ludwig Stage | Description | Hair Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Stage I | Mild thinning on top of the head | Reduced density but visible scalp coverage |
| Stage II | Moderate hair loss | Noticeable widening of part line |
| Stage III | Advanced thinning | Scalp highly visible, possible frontal involvement |
This classification helps determine whether a woman is a good candidate for a hair transplant surgery or alternative treatments like PRP therapy or medical hair restoration.
Women with stable donor areas (usually the back or sides of the scalp)
Those with localized hair loss due to trauma or surgery
Women with traction alopecia from years of tight hairstyles
Patients with high hairline or temporal recession
Individuals in good overall health, with realistic expectations
Women with diffuse unpatterned alopecia
Patients suffering from active hormonal imbalance
Those with thin or poor donor density
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) involves harvesting individual grafts from the donor area using micro-punches.
At Hairmedico, Dr. Arslan Musbeh performs a no-shave or partial-shave FUE for women — maintaining natural hair length and ensuring minimal visibility post-surgery.
Key advantages:
No linear scar
Faster healing
Natural density and direction control
Suitable for long hair and discreet recovery

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is the most advanced technique for female patients. Using a Choi implanter pen, Dr. Musbeh extracts and implants follicles simultaneously, preserving graft vitality and ensuring high precision.
Benefits include:
No channel opening step → less trauma
Higher density in targeted areas
Natural angle alignment
Quick recovery and minimal downtime
🔗 Explore our Before and After Results
Every journey begins with a detailed scalp analysis. Using digital tools and AI-assisted imaging, Hairmedico evaluates hair density, donor capacity, and aesthetic goals.
Healthy follicles are carefully extracted using a micro-punch under local anesthesia. For female patients, only a small hidden area is trimmed — ensuring discretion.
Each follicular unit (containing 1–4 hairs) is sorted under a microscope to ensure perfect graft quality and viability.
In FUE, channels are opened before placing grafts.
In DHI, follicles are directly implanted using precision pens.
Patients receive a customized recovery plan, including Folliactiv anti-hair-loss shampoo, soothing sprays, and post-op checkups.
