Can a Person with No Hair Loss Get Hair Transplant?

Only a small % of women that I see in my practice are good candidates for hair transplants, due to the fact that it's typically diffused thinning all over.

Another area of concern would be if you have no hair loss, when you make the incisions in the recipient area, you are at risk of damaging the existing hair follicles. Often times you will have a net loss.

We would want to look at the scalp and follicles under magnification to determine if this would be worthwhile for the patient.

A man or woman can improve follicle density with the addition of hair follicles via hair transplant.  The hairs transplanted will retain the quality of the donor site.  

You need a good donor hair for hair transplant surgery.  If you have thin hair all around, hair transplant may not be an option.  Scalp MicroPigmentation may be an option.  You can see examples in the VIDEO

With thinning hair an exam by a hair expert would be prudent to rule out many possible causes. This usually includes a good history,exam, pull test, and possibly blood work. There is a new Rogaine 5% foam for female pattern hair loss that is very effective.PRP injections also have been reported to be effective.  Hope this helps.

A hair transplant procedure can only increase the number of hairs within a given region of your head. They cannot enhance the thickness of your hair. The thickness/texture of your hair shafts is determined by the DNA in your hair follicles.


The way a hair transplant works is really by transferring hair follicles from one region to another. With women, the only place to get these follicles is from the head itself. Some women develop bald spots due to hair extensions.

So hair follicles from other regions are inserted into these bald areas. But if you have thin hair all over, there would be no point in transferring these hair follicles to other regions if you are aiming for a fuller and thicker end result.
