Hairline correction surgery at Maxwell offers solutions for hair thinning experienced by women.

Consultation & Diagnosis
Understanding Hair Loss Stages
The progression of hair loss in women typically follows a pattern different from men, often characterized by diffuse thinning across the scalp rather than the receding hairline or bald patches. This thinning can worsen over time, making early intervention crucial. Understanding these stages, from initial thinning to significant volume reduction, helps in planning the appropriate timing and extent of a hairline transplant surgery.
During the consultation phase, we assess you using the Ludwig Classification, a scale specifically designed for female pattern baldness, ensuring our approach is finely tuned to your unique situation.
Design
Determining the Number of Hairs Needed
Determining the correct number of grafts for a successful hair transplant requires factors beyond just the treatment area.
Younger individuals generally need denser grafts due to naturally thicker surrounding hair. Different ages and densities require tailored approaches, with planning for future hair loss and possible secondary surgeries. The amount of harvested hairs could be more than the amount of transplanted hairs. The graft loss could be as high as 30% without a skilled execution. Our careful process and in-house medical team minimize graft loss, saving up to a thousand hairs in larger procedures.
Designing a Natural Gradient Hairline
At Maxwell Hair Clinic, we are dedicated to designing hairlines that look natural and feature great layering, creating an appearance of volume and fullness. We understand the crucial role of baby hairs in creating a natural and soft hairline, which is especially important for women, to blend seamlessly with their existing hair. To achieve the best results with the highest satisfaction rate, we employ a two-step hairline design process that considers your unique facial features, ensuring the final hairline is natural, flattering, and age-appropriate.
Harvesting & Transplant
Types of Hair Transplant
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
FUE is a highly favored method for hair transplantation due to its precision, minimal scarring, and quick recovery time. This approach involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area using a micro punch tool, which ranges from 0.6-1.0mm in diameter.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUE)
FUT, also known as strip surgery, is renowned for its efficiency in covering larger areas of hair loss, delivering highly dense and natural-looking results. This technique involves extracting a strip of skin from the donor area. Hair follicles are then meticulously harvested from this strip and prepared for transplantation.
Standard Shaving Sites for Hair Transplant Surgery
Partial Shaving
The partial shaving approach focuses on a specific scalp section, often the donor area, keeping the remaining hair untouched. Ideal for those receiving fewer grafts and wishing to preserve their current hairstyle This method allows the unshaven hair to conceal the treated area, providing a more discreet solution than complete shaving.
Strip Shaving
The strip shaving technique involves shaving small areas in the donor zone for follicle extraction. This less visible method enables a quicker return to daily life, as surrounding hair conceals the treated sections, making it ideal for those seeking discreet recovery.
No Shaving
The no-shave technique eliminates the need for shaving, offering a discreet hair transplant option. It’s ideal for maintaining hairstyle continuity and minimizing visible signs of the procedure. This approach supports a quick return to daily activities, appealing to those seeking a subtle restoration process.
Personalized Shaving Options for Women
At Maxwell, we recognize the sensitivity around the shaving process required for hairline transplant surgeries, particularly for women. Our approach is discreet, comfortable, and ensures best outcomes, whether you opt for the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) method. In order to find the perfect balance between discretion and effective follicle harvesting, we take a tailored approach where shaving is customized based on the patient’s hair style, density, and the areas requiring transplantation. This could involve strategically shaving small areas that can be easily concealed: the best option for patients with post-operative visibility concerns.
Follicle Extraction – Our Team’s Process
Precision in Follicle Handling
Every step, from the extraction of hair follicles from the donor area to their placement in the recipient site, is performed with utmost precision. Special attention is paid to maintaining the integrity of the follicle during extraction and implantation, minimizing any trauma that could affect survival.
Advanced Extraction Tools
Utilizing state-of-the-art extraction tools that allow for a minimally invasive procedure helps maintain the health of the follicles. These tools are designed to reduce transection rates, ensuring more hair grafts remain viable for transplantation.
Optimized Conditions for Grafts
Between extraction and implantation, grafts are kept in a carefully controlled environment to preserve their vitality. This includes maintaining the correct temperature and hydration levels to prevent desiccation or damage.
Speed and Efficiency
Recognizing that time out of the scalp can negatively impact follicle survival, Maxwell’s procedures are optimized for speed without compromising on quality. The time from extraction to implantation is minimized to keep the grafts viable.
Careful Implantation
The technique used for implanting the grafts ensures that they are placed at the correct depth and angle in the scalp. This precision supports optimal regrowth, as it mirrors the natural growth direction and depth of hair, fostering a better integration with the scalp.
Post-Operative Care and Monitoring
Maxwell provides comprehensive post-operative care instructions and ongoing monitoring. This includes guidance on washing, activity levels, and medications to support follicle health, as well as follow-up appointments to assess the progress of transplant growth.
Aftercare
Recovery Process
Aftercare is crucial for the success of a hair transplant surgery. Maxwell provides aftercare instructions tailored to the specifics of each procedure. Recommendations often include gently washing with prescribed shampoos, avoiding direct sunlight, and refraining from strenuous activities that might stress the scalp. Medications to support hair growth and prevent further loss may also be prescribed. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor progress and ensure the health of both the transplanted and existing hair follicles.
