Hair Transplantation for Women
For women, hair loss is often difficult to cope with, due to hormonal fluctuations, aesthetic pressures, and persistent taboos. While many cases of alopecia are temporary, some pronounced and persistent forms require a hair transplant.
At Racine², this procedure is tailored to each individual, with rigorous medical expertise and a focus on aesthetics.

A hair transplant involves extracting follicles from a dense area of the scalp, usually at the back or sides, and reimplanting them in the thinning areas. For women, this technique requires a more refined and personalized approach.
Hair loss is often diffuse but particularly noticeable, especially along the part, particularly in women with long hair. This is a frequent source of distress, sometimes more difficult to cope with than in men. The shape of the hairline is also more variable and must be respected with great precision: rounded, M-shaped, straight… each patient has her own unique harmony.
Since shaving completely is often a deterrent, we prioritize, whenever possible, a transplant without shaving or with partial shaving, depending on the hair type and the area to be treated. Extreme care is taken in the selection and implantation of the grafts: hair fineness, number of hairs per follicle, density, orientation, angle… Every parameter counts for a result that is both natural and undetectable.
At Racine², we believe that the success of a hair transplant for women depends as much on medical expertise as on true aesthetic mastery
The cost of a hair transplant for women depend of used technic, the size of the bald zone, and the number of hair to implant. Each treatment plan is unique, defined after a complete medical evaluation of the scalp. At Racine2, our hair transplant begin at 2000€, a revolution for parisian hair implant.

Female hair loss can have various origins. Understanding the exact cause is essential before considering a hair transplant. Each situation requires an individualized diagnosis, as the type of alopecia, the quality of the scalp, and the hormonal profile directly influence the medical strategy.
This is the most common cause. It gradually affects the crown of the head, with thinning hair at the part, without massive shedding. It is linked to hormonal sensitivity of the hair follicles. The Ludwig classification allows for the assessment of its stage. This type of alopecia can benefit from a hair transplant if the hair loss has stabilized and the donor area is sufficient.
Thyroid disorders, menopause, pregnancy, or stopping contraception can significantly disrupt the hair growth cycle. Hair loss may be temporary, but it becomes problematic if it persists. A medical evaluation is often necessary to rule out any contraindications to a hair transplant procedure.
A lack of iron, zinc, vitamin D, or B12 can weaken the hair fiber, slow down scalp cell regeneration, and cause diffuse hair loss. This type of loss is generally reversible, but medical treatment is required before discussing hair transplants.
Chronic stress can trigger or worsen hair loss, particularly in the form of telogen effluvium. Furthermore, certain autoimmune diseases such as alopecia areata (alopecia areata) can cause localized thinning areas. A precise diagnosis is essential before considering a hair transplant.
Tight hairstyles, repeated extensions, or chemical straightening can lead to traction alopecia. This type of hair loss is localized, often around the temples or hairline. If it is long-standing and stable, a FUE hair transplant without complete shaving, using a Choi or sapphire blade, can allow for natural regeneration of the balding areas.
Endometriosis, although a gynecological condition, can also have an indirect impact on hair health. Certain hormonal treatments prescribed to alleviate it, particularly GnRH analogs or some long-acting birth control pills, can weaken the hair. Combined with chronic inflammation in the body, these factors sometimes contribute to diffuse hair loss in women, especially on the crown of the head.
In women, a hair transplant is never the first-line treatment. The vast majority of female pattern hair loss can be effectively treated with non-invasive medical solutions: mesotherapy treatments, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, or LED light therapy sessions. These treatments are particularly suitable for seasonal, temporary, or diffuse hair loss.
Hair transplantation, on the other hand, is only considered in very specific cases: when hair loss is massive, localized, and above all, permanent, as in certain forms of androgenetic alopecia or after trauma (post-surgical scars, burns, etc.). Even in these situations, it can only be performed if the hair loss has stabilized, the donor area is sufficient, and expectations are realistic.
Finally, if treatments do not restore satisfactory density in certain thinning areas and transplantation is not possible or desired, scalp micropigmentation (or scalp micropigmentation) can offer an excellent alternative. It allows for the visual redensification of areas where hair has thinned while maintaining a natural result, provided that some hair remains in the treated area.
At Racine², when the procedure allows, we prefer to use the Choi stylus for long hair. This tool allows us to implant grafts one by one with great precision, without any visible prior incisions, and with a more delicate touch adapted to aesthetic requirements. This provides precise control over the angle, depth, and direction of each hair, for a natural result and harmonious density. This technique is particularly well-suited to women, as it allows, in some cases, for a significant portion of the hair to remain intact without complete shaving.
We also use FUE Saphir when the project requires it, especially if the area to be covered is larger or when the transplant is performed on Afro-textured hair. Here again, the extractions are performed individually, using a very fine punch, to avoid any visible scarring. The choice of method is always made in consultation with the patient, based on her expectations, her scalp condition, and the medical strategy.
The process begins with a thorough hair diagnostic consultation, during which the doctor examines the hair, assesses the density of the donor area, and verifies the stability of the hair loss. This step also allows the doctor to define aesthetic expectations and, if conditions allow, propose a customized procedure.
On the day of the hair transplant, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is painless. It generally lasts between four and seven hours, depending on the area to be treated and the number of follicular units to be transplanted. Once the grafts are implanted, the patient can go home the same day.
A post-operative instruction protocol is provided, with the first check-up scheduled for the following day. Also included in your service are three follow-up consultations at 1, 6, and 12 months, and access to a dedicated direct phone line.
Hair regrowth begins in the third month and continues gradually. The final result is generally visible between 12 and 18 months.
The result of a hair transplant in women should be subtle, natural, and tailored to the individual. The goal is not to create excessive density, but to harmonize the hair by adding volume to thinning areas, softening the hairline, or enhancing the temples.
The final result depends on the quality of the transplanted hairs, the surgical strategy employed, and also the individual characteristics of each patient. A well-performed FUE hair transplant blends seamlessly with the existing hair, without any harsh lines or artificial appearance.
Finally, adherence to instructions and therefore the quality of the follow-up provided by the clinic plays a crucial role in achieving the best results.

Like any cosmetic procedure, hair transplantation has some limitations.
First, it can only be considered if the scalp has a viable donor area. In cases of widespread female pattern baldness, or if the Ludwig classification indicates overall hair loss at the crown, the results may be limited.
Second, hair transplantation involves a waiting period: the transplanted hair follicles enter a resting phase before resuming their hair growth cycle. It generally takes 9 to 12 months to see the final result.
It is also not a treatment for hair loss: FUE transplantation, whether with or without shaving, does not prevent the natural progression of androgenetic alopecia. Medical follow-up may therefore be necessary. Finally, certain unrealistic expectations, such as regaining the same hair density as in adolescence, need to be reframed: a transplant improves hair, it does not recreate a full head of hair in women.
Hair transplants are exceptional for young girls.
Female pattern baldness at an early age is often linked to hormonal, nutritional, or autoimmune causes, which must be investigated before any hair transplant is considered. In the vast majority of cases, medical treatments are sufficient to stimulate hair growth or limit hair loss.
If, in exceptional circumstances, a hair transplant is considered (for example, in cases of stable scarring or severe traction alopecia), it must be supervised by a specialist, with parental consent, and only after the condition has completely stabilized. Considering the number of hairs available in the donor area, the thickness of the scalp, and the projected growth is essential. The procedure should never be taken lightly, especially at an age when hair is still growing.
Yes, hair transplantation can yield excellent results for women, provided that a precise hair diagnosis is made and the donor area has good density.
Unlike men, where baldness often results in completely bald patches, women’s hair tends to thin diffusely, particularly on the crown. This requires a more nuanced approach and stricter selection criteria.
The strategy is always defined according to the number of available follicular units and the area to be treated. The transplant is often combined with supportive treatments such as mesotherapy to optimize the long-term quality of the new hair.
Yes, eyebrow transplantation is a common procedure in cosmetic medicine, particularly for women who have lost their eyebrows due to excessive plucking, scarring, or certain autoimmune diseases.
It involves extracting hair follicles from a donor area of the scalp and then reimplanting them one by one in the eyebrow area, respecting the natural direction of the hair growth.
It is a precision hair transplant that requires perfect mastery of hair implantation techniques. When properly indicated and executed, it offers a very natural result.
In some cases, yes.
FUE hair transplants without shaving allow you to keep a significant portion of your hair, especially for women with long hair. This approach is often preferred for localized procedures, such as the hairline or temples.
However, when it’s necessary to cover a larger bald area or implant a large number of hairs, partial shaving, or even FUE with shaving, may be required to ensure the quality of the extraction and implantation. The choice is always made on a case-by-case basis, depending on the scalp diagnosis, the extent of androgenetic alopecia, and the desired result.
