Female hair loss needs a different approach

Women rarely lose hair the way men do. Instead of a receding hairline and bald crown, most women experience diffuse thinning across the top of the scalp, a gradually widening parting or loss concentrated at the temples and hairline edges. The causes are also broader: alongside genetic female-pattern loss, thinning can stem from hormonal changes, thyroid conditions, iron deficiency, stress or years of tight hairstyles. That is why every treatment at MyHaar starts with diagnosis, not surgery. Our surgeons assess your pattern, medical history and, where needed, recommend further investigation with your physician first. A transplant only makes sense when the cause is understood and the donor area is stable; when it is not, we say so honestly.

When is a transplant the right choice for women?

A hair transplant works best for women with a defined, stable pattern of loss and a healthy donor area at the back of the head. Typical good candidates include women with a genetically high or receded hairline they would like lowered, traction alopecia from years of tight braids, buns or extensions, thinning at the temples, scarring from injuries, surgery or cosmetic procedures, and stable female-pattern loss concentrated along the parting. Diffuse thinning across the entire scalp, including the donor zone, responds less predictably to surgery; in those cases we often recommend PRP treatment or medical management first. This honest selection is exactly why our results, backed by an 18-month written growth guarantee, are consistent.

Unshaven and partial-shave techniques

For most women, shaving the head for a transplant is simply not an option, and at MyHaar it usually is not necessary. With unshaven and partial-shave DHI, only a discreet strip within the donor area is trimmed, hidden completely under the surrounding hair, while the recipient area is not shaved at all. Grafts are implanted between your existing hairs with Choi implanter pens, which allow precise control of angle, depth and direction without disturbing what you already have. Where larger graft numbers are needed, Sapphire FUE with a concealed donor window offers an efficient alternative. You leave the clinic looking much as you arrived, and can typically return to social life within days.

Your treatment day and recovery

On the day of your procedure, the surgeon finalises the design with you, whether that is a lowered hairline, a denser parting or restored temples, and photographs the starting point. Under local anaesthesia, grafts are extracted from the concealed donor zone and implanted over a session of roughly six to eight hours, with breaks. Recovery is discreet: light crusting along the treated area settles within about ten days, and shed transplanted hairs regrow from around month three to four. Density builds through months six to nine, with the mature result at twelve to eighteen months. Your package includes all medications, a PRP session to support growth, and scheduled follow-ups at our Den Haag clinic.

Are you a candidate?

Which women benefit most from a transplant?

Best results come with a stable pattern of loss, a healthy donor area and a clear diagnosis. Our surgeons assess all three honestly at a free, private consultation in Den Haag.

Likely a good fit

  • A stable, defined pattern of loss such as a widening parting or thinning temples
  • A genetically high hairline you would like lowered
  • Traction alopecia from tight hairstyles or extensions
  • Scarring from injury, surgery or cosmetic procedures
  • A healthy, dense donor area at the back of the head

!We may decline or refer

  • Diffuse thinning that also affects the donor area
  • Hair loss from an untreated medical cause, until it is addressed
  • Actively progressing shedding that has not yet stabilised
  • Cases where PRP or medical treatment is the more sensible first step

Patient voices

What our patients say

I researched clinics for over a year before deciding on MyHaar. The coordinator answered every question honestly, and the surgeon spent 30 minutes designing my hairline before we started. Twelve months later the result is exactly what they showed me on day one. Worth every euro.

Sapphire FUE · 3,400 grafts

Forty-eight years old and tired of disappearing hair. The team at MyHaar set realistic expectations — they were honest that I needed a conservative design at my age, and the result looks like me ten years younger, not a wig. Lifetime follow-up is real; my coordinator still checks in.

FAQ

Common questions

How long does a hair transplant take?

Most procedures take between 6 and 8 hours depending on the number of grafts and the chosen technique.

Is the procedure painful?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients describe it as comfortable, with only mild discomfort during the anesthetic injections.

When will I see results?

Initial growth typically starts around month 3 to 4. Full results appear at 12 to 18 months after the procedure.

Are the results permanent?

Yes. Transplanted follicles are taken from genetically resistant zones and continue to grow permanently in their new location.

How soon can I return to work?

Most patients return to work within 3 to 5 days. Strenuous activity should be avoided for two weeks.

Is local or general anesthesia used?

All procedures at Hang Da use local anesthesia. You remain comfortably awake throughout, can listen to music, watch films, eat, and use your phone. General anesthesia is unnecessary and carries higher risk for an elective scalp procedure.

How many grafts will I need?

It depends on your hair loss pattern, donor capacity, and the density you want to achieve. Norwood 3 cases typically need 2,500–3,500 grafts; Norwood 4–5 need 3,500–5,000; advanced cases up to 6,500 across one or two sessions. Your free consultation includes a precise estimate.

Will the result look natural?

Yes. Modern Sapphire FUE and DHI place follicles at the exact angle, direction, and density of natural growth. Hairlines are designed in advance based on your facial proportions and approved by you before any incision is made.
