The techniques used in the early days of hair transplanting were not suitable for the treatment of a majority of women with pattern hair loss. For at least the last 10 years, changes in those techniques have resulted in a reversal of that situation. Today, many women with female pattern hair loss are suitable candidates for transplanting, however, this is not widely appreciated. This article provides potential explanations for this and demonstrates examples of the current methods. Hair transplanting should be considered as a potential treatment option for most women with pattern hair loss. Eleven women with mild-to-moderate FPHL (Sinclair scores: 2–3.5) who had plateaued on stable FPHL treatment for ≥6 months were enrolled in this interventional pilot study. Patients were screened to exclude other hair loss disorders, as well as comorbidities that may affect hair growth or wound healing. Patient demographics are detailed in. Two women who were taking oral spironolactone for >1 year and who had plateaued on treatment continued for the duration of the trial.
