I'm 43 female with extreme hairfall, scanty and fine hair. Any suggestions?
Answer: ARTAS women Can women use the ARTAS hair restoration? 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.

Answer: Surgery in the appropriate candidate If you have extreme hair fall and have scanty hair, then it is likely that surgery would not be indicated (either ARTAS or otherwise). The reason is that with generalized thinning, the donor hair you are removing is poor quality and also thinning, therefore the transplant would later thin. Thinning donor equals thinning transplant. It would be important to have an evaluation by a board-certified dermatologist with expertise in hair restoration in order to assess in-person your candidacy for surgery.

Answer: Can an ARTAS procedure be done on a woman? The ARTAS procedure for harvesting hair from the donor site in a restoration procedure can indeed be done on women. There are methods in which the hair does not need to be completely shaved. From your question, however, I'm not sure that a transplant procedure would be indicated. There are several non-surgical methods that can be utilized to help those with hair loss. In order to fully determine the best recommendation, you would need to be evaluated by an experience hair restoration surgeon.

Answer: Is there ARTAS for women? Dear nannime, Thank you for posting this question. There sure is. From the sounds of it, however, you may not be a candidate. If you have a lot of hair loss, and your remaining hair is “fine and scanty” then you should make an appointment with a hair transplant surgeon and be examined. The doctor will use a dermatoscope and carefully examine the hairs on your scalp to determine the best course of action for you, which may include things like platelet-rich plasma (PRP), low-level light therapy (LLLT), among other non-surgical therapies. I hope this information is helpful to you. Kind regards, Ken Anderson, MD, FISHRS
