Is women's hair loss the same as men's hair loss?
Friday, March 05, 2010
Not typically. While men usually have very defined patterns of hair loss, women have a much more diffuse pattern of hair loss where they have experienced thinning, typically in certain areas or more throughout their scalp. Currently, as far as we know, Dr. Epstein performs more women's transplant procedures than any other doctor in the United States and he is particularly adapt at working among a patient's existing hair with very refined tools between 0.5 and 0.8 mm small to create recipient sites in between existing hairs without damaging the existing follicles and therefore avoiding shock loss.
