Women’s hair restoration techniques available
Follicular unit extraction (FUE)
FUE is a minimally invasive surgical technique that involves harvesting individual hair follicles from a donor area—typically the back or sides of the scalp—using a specialized punch tool. These grafts are meticulously implanted into areas of thinning or loss to restore density and natural shape. The procedure results in tiny, dot-like scars that heal into virtually undetectable marks. FUE is ideal for women seeking a refined, natural hairline with minimal downtime.
No-Shave FUE
No-Shave FUE uses the same method as traditional FUE but preserves the length of your existing hair. Instead of shaving the donor site, individual follicles are carefully extracted from between longer hairs, allowing you to maintain your hairstyle throughout the restoration process. This technique is particularly popular among women because it offers a discreet option with all the precision of standard FUE without the need to alter your appearance during recovery.
Follicular unit transplantation (FUT)
FUT involves removing a thin strip of scalp from the donor area, typically at the back of the head. The strip is dissected under magnification into individual follicular units, which are then transplanted into thinning or bald areas. Although FUT leaves a linear scar, it allows for the transplantation of a large number of grafts in a single session, making it an effective option for women with significant hair loss who are seeking more dramatic improvement.
Non-surgical hair restoration
For women who aren’t ready for surgery—or who want to complement surgical results—non-surgical treatments are available. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses growth factors from your blood to stimulate hair follicles and encourage regrowth. Exosome therapy delivers regenerative signals at a cellular level to promote healing and density. In addition, FDA-approved medications can help maintain existing hair and support healthy growth. In some cases, hormone therapy can address the hormonal factors responsible for hair loss.

Women’s Hair Restoration FAQs
Can I still wear my hair down or styled after the procedure?
Yes, especially with No-Shave FUE. This technique allows you to maintain your current hair length and style, making it an ideal option for women who want a discreet solution without shaving part of their scalp. Even with traditional FUE or FUT, your provider will guide you on how to style your hair safely during the healing process and when to resume normal routines.
What is the recovery time like?
Recovery time varies depending on the technique used. With FUE, healing is usually quick—tiny scabs form around each graft and shed within a week. FUT may require a few extra days for the linear incision to heal. You’ll receive detailed post-procedure care instructions, and we’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress. Most women resume normal daily activities within a week, though strenuous exercise should be limited for a few weeks.
When will I see the results?
Hair restoration is a gradual process. Most patients begin seeing visible regrowth within three to four months, with full results typically visible at the 9-12 month mark. Non-surgical treatments like PRP and exosomes may show improvement sooner, depending on your hair cycle.
