Hair transplant
for women in Montreal
Female hair loss, shedding and hair thinning is more common than most people realize. Fortunately, it is now more treatable than ever. At FolliclMD, we offer personalized solutions for everything from female pattern baldness to menopause-related thinning.
We invite you to book a consultation with one of our specialists at our Montreal hair restoration clinic to find out which treatment is right for you.
THE PROCEDURE
What is a female
hair transplant?
A hair transplant, such as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), is a method wherein individual hair follicles are extracted from a donor area—typically the back or sides of the scalp—and transplanted to areas of thinning or reduced density.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, leaves no linear scar, and delivers permanent, natural-looking results. The approach is the same for women as it is for men, though the procedure may take longer if a larger area is being treated.
CANDIDACY
Who is the ideal candidate for
a hair transplant?
Female pattern hair loss presents differently than male pattern baldness, and as with men, candidacy is assessed individually.
All candidacy assessments include a careful evaluation through direct digital magnification to determine the quality and potential of your donor area.
01
Have defined localized thinning rather than fully diffuse loss across the entire scalp
02
Have reduced density at the crown
03
Have adequate donor hair density at the back or sides of the scalp
04
Are in good general health
05
Have realistic expectations about results

UNDERSTANDING THE CAUSE
What causes hair loss in women and how it can impact your hair transplant candidacy?
Hair loss in women can stem from a variety of causes, including genetics, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid conditions, emotional stress, and certain medications. Because the underlying cause of what’s driving your hair loss directly shapes the right course of treatment, a thorough medical evaluation is always the first step.

Female Hair Transplant for Pattern Baldness
Female pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common form of hair loss in women. Unlike male pattern baldness, which typically follows a predictable recession at the hairline and crown, female pattern hair loss usually
presents as diffuse thinning across the top of the scalp — making it more subtle and less predictable in its progression.
Early diagnosis and treatment give the best results, so we encourage women noticing increased shedding or thinning to seek an evaluation sooner rather than later.
Before & after
Hair transplant before & after: Managing expectations
Women of all ages and hair loss stages have seen significant, natural-looking hair restoration following a transplant at FolliclMD. That said, results will vary from patient to patient, and will depend on factors such as the extent of hair loss, donor hair density, and individual healing response.
Patients often report:
2 - 4 WEEKS
Transplanted hairs shed within the first two to four weeks; this is a normal and expected part of the process
3 - 4 MONTHS
New hair growth beginning to emerge between three to four months after the procedure
6 MONTHS
Noticeable improvements in density and coverage at six months
12 - 18 MONTHS
Full, mature results visible at 12 to 18 months following the procedure
It is important to keep in mind that a hair transplant is a gradual process— patience is key, and the most significant results come with time.

hair TRANSPLANT FOR WOMEN: cost & recovery
How much does a hair transplant cost?
The cost of a hair transplant depends on the number of grafts required and the complexity of the procedure— factors that vary with each individual case.
To receive an accurate estimate, we invite you to book a consultation with our team. A consultation fee applies for the first visit and allows us to assess your hair loss, confirm your candidacy, and create a tailored treatment plan before you commit to anything.
Aftercare & recovery
Recovery following a hair transplant is quite straightforward. You can return home the same day, and most patients resume normal, non-strenuous activities within a few days following the procedure.
Our team will provide detailed post-procedure care instructions—including how to wash your hair, protect the grafts, and what to avoid in the days following your procedure—to ensure the best possible results.
