Hair Transplant for Women

Restoring Confidence with Advanced Hair Solutions

Hair thinning or hair loss in women is more common than many realize and can be emotionally overwhelming. Whether caused by genetics, hormonal changes, or other factors, it can impact confidence and self-image. At Charles Medical Group, we specialize in providing discreet, natural-looking solutions through advanced surgical and non-surgical treatments tailored to each woman’s unique needs.

Hair loss in women can be triggered by a variety of underlying factors, and identifying the root cause is essential for determining the best treatment plan. Some of the most common causes include:

• Genetics (Female Pattern Hair Loss): Just like men, women can inherit genes that make them more susceptible to thinning hair and receding density over time.
• Hormonal Changes: Events such as pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and thyroid imbalances can disrupt the natural growth cycle and lead to noticeable shedding.
• Medical Conditions: Autoimmune diseases (such as alopecia areata), scalp disorders, and chronic illnesses can interfere with healthy hair growth.
• Stress and Lifestyle Factors: High stress levels, nutritional deficiencies, and rapid weight loss can all contribute to temporary or prolonged thinning.
• Medications and Treatments: Certain prescription drugs, including those for blood pressure, depression, and cancer therapies, can cause hair loss as a side effect.
• Styling Practices: Frequent use of heat tools, chemical treatments, or tight hairstyles (traction alopecia) may gradually damage follicles and reduce hair volume.

For women experiencing these challenges, effective restoration options are available. At Charles Medical Group, we offer both Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) techniques for women seeking natural, permanent hair restoration. Dr. Glenn M. Charles carefully evaluates each patient’s unique needs, hair type, and donor availability to determine which approach will deliver the best results—helping women regain not only fuller hair but also renewed confidence.

At Charles Medical Group, we understand that every woman’s hair restoration journey is unique. For patients who are good candidates for surgery, Dr. Glenn M. Charles offers two of the most advanced and effective surgical methods:

• Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): Often referred to as the “strip method,” FUT involves carefully removing a thin strip of scalp from the donor area (typically the back of the head) and then microscopically dissecting it into individual follicular units. This technique allows for the transplantation of a large number of grafts in a single session, making it ideal for women seeking significant coverage.
• Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): FUE involves harvesting individual hair follicles directly from the donor area using precise microsurgical tools. This method avoids a linear scar and offers a quicker recovery time, which can be especially appealing for women who prefer to wear their hair shorter or pulled up.

Both FUT and FUE are designed to create natural, permanent results, with the choice depending on the patient’s goals, hair type, and donor availability.

Advancements in hair replacement techniques and technology now make it possible for women to achieve results that look completely natural and virtually undetectable. At Charles Medical Group, Dr. Glenn M. Charles combines surgical expertise with an artistic eye to deliver outcomes that consistently exceed expectations.

While many women seek to restore overall density or address thinning areas of the scalp, some also desire restoration in more delicate areas—such as the eyebrows. Dr. Charles has extensive experience performing these specialized procedures, carefully designing and placing grafts to create results that look soft, subtle, and beautifully natural.
