Hair transplants for women are still an under-explored solution, despite the fact that many women suffer from hair loss, whether hormonal, hereditary, diffuse or stress-related.
Often associated with men, hair transplants are perfectly feasible for women, thanks in particular to the DHI method, which enables hair to be implanted one by one without having to be shaved completely. Only the donor area is partially shaved, so the length and appearance of the hair are preserved after the operation.

Comment fonctionne la Greffe de Cheveux pour Femme ?
Hair transplants for women are mainly carried out using the DHI (Direct Hair Implant) method. This is the most recent technique, and has the advantage of not requiring the hair to be completely shaved. It is divided into two main stages: extraction and implantation.
Extraction using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method
The grafts are harvested from the donor area at the back of the head. For women, a window is often opened in this area to avoid having to shave the entire head.
Under local anaesthetic, the grafts containing between 1 and 4 hairs are extracted using a motorised punch. This technique minimises scarring and gives a natural result. The harvested grafts are placed in a solution to preserve their quality before implantation.
Extraction takes between 45 minutes and 2 hours on average, depending on the density of the hair and the number of grafts to be removed.
Implantation using the Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) method
Unlike the FUE Saphir method, the DHI technique does not require any prior micro-incisions. The grafts are inserted directly using a Choi implanter, which allows for precise and natural placement.
This method offers better hair density and a shorter recovery time.
Is it possible to do a Hair Transplant for Women without a complete shave?
Yes, it is possible to perform a hair transplant without completely shaving the head. Only a small area at the back of the head is shaved, allowing the grafts to be harvested while maintaining a discreet appearance.
Does hair transplantation for women work for afro or frizzy hair?
Yes, the DHI technique is suitable for Afro or frizzy hair. However, because of its curved structure, extraction requires more care and time. It is essential that the procedure is carried out by a team specialising in this type of hair.
Am I a good candidate for a female hair transplant?
Any woman with a sufficient donor area and no pathologies affecting hair regrowth can consider a hair transplant.
Androgenetic alopecia in women
Hereditary or hormonal hair loss is most common in women. A blood test may be useful in identifying the cause.
Traction alopecia in women: lowering of the hairline
Tight hairstyles and extensions weaken the hair and can lead to hair loss. In this case, a transplant can restore hair density and lower the hairline.
The advantages of the DHI Technique?
Without a full shave
Minimal graft handling
Fast Healing Time
Natural, densified aesthetic results
