Introduction
After a certain age, most women find that their hair starts to thin. It can happen due to miniaturization, when each hair shaft grows back less thick and deeply rooted, or because of shedding, which can be related to a stressful event or nutritional changes. Many women can also experience bald spots due to genetics, hormones, and other factors. Hair is key to a woman’s confidence, style, and identity, so dealing with hair loss can impact you both emotionally and physically. A hair transplant could be the answer if you’re struggling with hair loss. At Rabach Aesthetics, we offer advanced FUE and FUT hair restoration procedures at our Upper East Side facility to help restore your hair’s density and coverage so you can feel like yourself again. Let Dr. Morgan Rabach and her team help you regain the look you love at Rabach Aesthetics.
A female hair transplant restores hair in women experiencing thinning or hair loss. The procedure is generally performed using Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), which offers a minimally invasive approach with no scarring.
A female hair transplant offers several benefits, including:
With expertise in hair restoration, Dr. Morgan Rabach brings years of experience to help women achieve their desired hair goals.
The best candidates for a female hair transplant are typically those who experience:
Dr. Morgan Rabach can assess your individual needs and determine if a hair transplant is the right solution for your hair restoration goals.
The first step in a female hair transplant is scheduling a consultation with Dr. Morgan Rabach. During this consultation, Dr. Rabach will evaluate your hair loss pattern and medical history. She will discuss your goals and expectations, and together, you will determine the best approach for your hair restoration.
This initial consultation is key to identifying the underlying cause of your hair loss and ensuring you’re a good candidate for the procedure.
During your female hair transplant procedure, Dr. Morgan Rabach will begin by numbing the treatment area with local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Once the scalp is numbed, she will carefully harvest healthy hair follicles from the donor area, typically the back or sides of your head. These follicles are carefully extracted one by one to preserve their integrity.
Next, Dr. Rabach will make tiny, precise incisions in the recipient area. Following the natural hair growth pattern, the follicles are implanted into these incisions.
The procedure is performed in one session, which can take several hours, depending on the number of follicles being transplanted.
During the recovery process following a female hair transplant, the focus is on healing both the donor and recipient areas. Immediately after the procedure, you will have small, tiny incisions in both areas where hair follicles were harvested and transplanted. These incisions will heal over time, and while there may be some redness or scabbing, it’s important not to pick at them to ensure proper healing and avoid infection.
The donor site, where hair follicles were extracted, may feel slightly tender for a few days, but this discomfort is usually manageable and will subside as the scalp heals. The recipient site, where the follicles were transplanted, may have small scabs around the hair grafts, which will fall off naturally within 7 to 10 days.
You should avoid touching or massaging your scalp for the first few days to prevent disrupting the newly transplanted follicles. Dr. Morgan Rabach will recommend using a gentle, non-abrasive shampoo and will provide instructions for caring for your scalp in the first week.
The cost of a female hair transplant in New York City can vary depending on the extent of hair loss, the technique used, and the specific clinic. On average, the cost for a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure, which is commonly used for women, can range from $12,000 to $22,000. Factors such as the number of grafts needed and the reputation of the surgeon, like Dr. Morgan Rabach at Rabach Aesthetics, may also influence the price.
It’s best to schedule a consultation with Dr. Rabach at one of Rabach Aesthetics’s locations to receive a personalized estimate and learn more about the potential costs of hair restoration.
