Treatments
Hair transplant for women in India
Quick answer
Hair transplants for women treat stable thinning such as hairline recession, widened parting or loss from traction or scars. Not all female hair loss suits surgery, so a cause must be found first. Plan 4 to 6 days in India.

At a glance
Female pattern hair loss often thins hair diffusely across the top, and the donor area may thin too. Medical treatment is usually tried first.
Women often prefer unshaven techniques or a small FUT strip that can be hidden under long hair.
How this approach differs
Plan 4 to 6 days. Blood tests and scalp review help exclude other causes. Graft care follows NHS-described timings: gentle washing from day 6 and care for 2 weeks. Avoid tight hairstyles, colouring and sun for some weeks. New hair from about 4 months.
