Hair Loss in Women All Proven Solutions Follicular Unit Transplant Surgery • Hair Transplants can be a viable option for women, but the eligible candidates must be carefully selected to avoid transplanting donor hair that may be affected by the same process that is impacting the rest of their hair. • Most women who are contemplating hair replacement (Hair Transplants, Biomatrix, EXT) have very high expectations regarding density and coverage. It is important for the consultant and the surgeon to review their expectations thoroughly. Bio-Matrix, Non-Surgical • An excellent option for most women! Style and versatility make this the number 1 option for women with hair loss.

  8. Hair Loss in Women All Proven Solutions Hair Therapy- EXT • Extreme Hair Therapy line is a great option for women who have experienced minimal hair loss for less than 5 years • Thinning area is less than 4 inches across and/or the main problem is general thinning. • Hair loss should be confined to the top of the head and the thinning area should contain lots of tiny, fine hairs. • Shampoo, conditioner, scalp cleanser, multi-vitamin, and Minoxidil are all included in each monthly kit.. Available in 6 and 12 month programs. Proper Hair Care- MOISTURIZE! • It is essential to use a shampoo and conditioner that contains natural herbs and sunscreen to protect the hair. Condition for at least 5 minutes! • Store bought shampoos and conditioners might seem like a good “deal” because they are sold so inexpensively, but most actually contain harsh additives and drying agents that actually dry out the hair shaft. This makes the hair appear lifeless and dull.
