Can a woman with severe hair loss get a hair transplant?

You can have a hair transplant surgery as long as you have good donor hair and a realistic goal.  This starts with an examination.  

Hello,
Women are currently not FDA approved for the use of the ARTAS.  However, our use of the ARTAS does suggest that women who are experiencing androgenic alopecia may be good candidates.  As always, women should have a thorough workup including the following:
Trichoscopy- identify type of hair loss Extensive history and labs- rule out other forms of hair loss 
We use ARTAS with regenerative techniques with women such as PRP and growth factors to help improve overall results.

By severe hair loss, you can mean many things.  The key thing is, if there is reasonable density in the back/sides of the scalp  (donor area) then a transplant can be quite effective. A workup for the hairloss is also indicated.

Yes, women are candidates for hair transplant surgery. The woman must be in good general health and all the medical reasons for hair loss must be eliminated. Women usually have thining through the coronal (mid portion) of the scalp leaving the hair line unaffected. A strip of hair is removed from the occipital (back portion) of the scalp and this strip is trimmed into micro (1-2 hairs) and mini grafts (3-4 hairs) and the grafts are transplanted into the thinning areas. The transplanted hairs have the same characteristics in their new location as they did in their previous location so if the hair was long before it will grow to substantial length in their new location.
I hope this was helpful.

 If you have loss over most of your head the answer is no. You have to have an area of thick hair to serve as the donor source. If you have normal hair on the sides and back of the head the answer is yes.
