Hair Loss in Women Is Common, and Treatable
Many women notice a wider partition, a thinner ponytail or more scalp showing in photos. You're not alone, and you don't have to just live with it. The idea that hair transplants are only for men is out of date. Today, women can restore their hair density safely and naturally.
At La Densitae Lucknow, we start by finding the cause of your hair loss. Then we recommend the right solution: medical treatment, PRP or a hair transplant.
Why Women Lose Hair, and Why Diagnosis Comes First
Common Causes
- Female pattern hair loss (genetic or hormonal)
- Thyroid problems, low iron or vitamin deficiency
- PCOS and hormonal changes (after pregnancy, around menopause)
- Stress-related shedding (telogen effluvium)
- Traction alopecia from tight hairstyles
- Scarring from injury, burns or surgery
Our Approach
Your scalp analysis, and blood tests where needed, are reviewed by our MD Dermatologist first. Some types of hair loss respond well to medicines or PRP. A transplant is recommended only when it will actually help.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Suitable for women with:
- A widening partition or thinning at the top or crown
- A high forehead or receding hairline that they want lowered
- Traction alopecia (hair loss from tight braids or buns)
- Hair loss from scars, burns or past surgery
- A stable hair-loss pattern and a healthy donor area
May not be suitable for:
- Diffuse thinning all over the scalp, including the donor area
- Active, ongoing shedding that hasn't been treated yet
- Uncontrolled medical conditions (the doctor checks this)
What Is a Female Hair Transplant?
Healthy hair follicles are taken one by one from the donor area, usually the back of the scalp, and implanted into thinning areas at your natural hair angle and direction. The result is natural-looking density that grows, styles and can be coloured like your own hair.
Technique Options
| Technique | Best For | Price per Graft |
|---|---|---|
| FUE | Standard restoration with minimal marks | Rs. 25-35 |
| Real-Time FUE | Better graft survival, with grafts implanted within minutes | From Rs. 35 |
| Sapphire FUE | Finer incisions, faster healing, higher density | Rs. 45-55 |
| Sapphire RT-FUE | Sapphire precision combined with real-time implantation | Rs. 50-60 |
Worried about shaving?
We understand. Ask about partial-shave or no-shave FUE, where only a small hidden strip is trimmed and your longer hair covers it.
Female Hair Transplant Cost
Your cost depends on the number of grafts and the technique chosen. Our surgeon confirms both after your consultation. The final price is shared before the procedure is planned, with no hidden charges.
What affects the cost?
