It is estimated that perhaps 20 percent of women will experience some degree of hair loss. It can be related to some underlying illness or perhaps to hormonal change after menopause. Usually, it is a general thinning of hair rather than losing hair over a specific patch such as is more common in men. Although hair transplantation is less commonly done in females, there is certainly no reason why you could not consider transplantation if there is enough donor hair. Sometimes, you can make the hair loss worse if you constantly pick at a spot where you are losing hair, so you should try to be careful about that.
Hair loss is obviously much more common in males than in women.
This is related to genetic factors and to hormonal influences. It is therefore much more common that men seek some type of treatment for their baldness. The costs for treatment of baldness will vary greatly from one treatment center or surgeon to another. The costs will also vary depending upon the type of treatment necessary. When doing micrograft and minigraft transplants such as we have described earlier, the number of hairs transplanted will certainly be a major determinate of the cost.
