Hair transplantation in women is an effective and lasting solution for restoring hair density when hair loss becomes noticeable and persistent. It is primarily intended for women suffering from scarring hormonal alopecia, whose hair loss has stabilized with medical treatments. Performed at any adult age, female hair transplantation allows for a natural and harmonious result, often without a visible linear scar thanks to the FUE technique. Graft emergence is generally observed from the fourth month post-surgery, and regrowth will gradually increase, reaching its peak between 12 and 15 months.
In this article, we give you all our recommendations on hair transplantation for women: the ideal age to undergo this treatment, the before-and-after results post-transplant and the prices in our Hair Clinic in Geneva.
Female pattern baldness differs from male pattern baldness. Rather than bald patches (grafts, vertex, etc.), one most often observes a widening central part, a diffuse loss of density, or a weakening of the hair fiber. The causes are numerous:
Before any procedure, a complete hair diagnosis is essential to identify the cause, assess the donor area, and determine the feasibility of a transplant. Schedule an appointment for a hair diagnosis in Geneva.
In truth, age is not the main criterion. Rather, it is the stabilisation of hair loss that guides the decision.
In young women, hair loss is often unstable. It is preferable to strengthen the scalp with medical or regenerative treatments such as capillary PRP or capillary mesotherapy before considering a transplant.
This is generally the age when loss has stabilised and the donor area retains good density. The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) transplant is then indicated to restore density without visible linear scarring.
Hair quality and general health become decisive. A FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) transplant may be considered, sometimes combined with PRP sessions to optimise regrowth, and treatments adapted to the menopause.
In women, the assessment is often based on the Ludwig classification , which describes three stages of alopecia development:
Hair transplantation becomes a possibility when hair loss has been stable for at least six months and the donor area (often the back of the head) remains sufficiently dense.
Some women can significantly improve their hair density without surgery. Among the solutions available at the Croix d'Or Hair Clinic:
These protocols can be used prior to a transplant or in post-operative maintenance to optimize regrowth.
At the Croix d'Or Hair Clinic, the process follows a comprehensive medical approach:
The first hair regrowth is visible from 4 months after the transplant, with a final result between 12 and 15 months.
The cost varies depending on the technique used (FUE or FUT) and the number of grafts implanted. At our clinic in Geneva, in French-speaking Switzerland, a female hair transplant typically costs between CHF 3,000 and CHF 8,000, including post-operative follow-up.

The decision to undergo a hair transplant in women depends not only on age or the degree of aesthetic concern, but also on medical diagnosis and the stage of alopecia. A consultation with a specialist like Dr. Raphaël Meyer , a member of the ABHRS (French Association of Hair Transplant Specialists), helps determine the feasibility of the transplant for the patient, the recommended technique, and the ideal time for the procedure.
