Just Drag The Handle
Hair loss for women can have very devastating effects. It can cause depression and anxiety, as well as a feeling of loss of attractiveness, loss of self image and loss of sexuality. Hair loss in women can be attributed to age, menopause, hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, stress, diet, etc..
When a woman suffers hair loss, she usually experiences diffuse thinning. This means she loses hair fairly evenly across her entire scalp, but is unlikely to go totally bald, and her frontal hairline will almost certainly remain intact.
Scalp Micropigmentation treatments can add more density to the scalp giving the illusion of thicker hair. SMP is the perfect hair loss treatment to camouflage thinning hair and can give the appearance of a fuller head of hair.
Alopecia or female pattern accounts for 95% of hair loss in women. Unfortunately, if you have general thinning alopecia, in which a person has several spots of complete hair loss that sometimes change location, you will ultimately have to shave the entire head and then receive treatment because the bald spots will continue to change. If you have this kind of hair loss, adding density as a treatment may not be the hair loss solution for you.
What is the Ludwig Scale? The progression of female pattern baldness (Androgenic alopecia) is generally classified on the Ludwig Scale, which ranges from stages I to III.
Types of hair loss in women using the Ludwig ScaleStage I Begins with thinning on the top of the head.
Stage II The scalp starts to show.
Stage III Finally, all of the hair at the crown of the head may be lost.
This is only a general guide, and many women fit into different categories within the Ludwig Scale.

Only mild hair loss is present during Stage 1. Usually the hair loss is occurring on the top or the back of the head (Crowing). Women are not usually aware they are developing hair loss at this stage, however, women may start noticing the part widening, demonstrating thinning hair along the top of the scalp and crown area.
Ludwig Stage II:
Stage II hair loss is considered moderate. In this stage, women may notice thinning, shedding, general decrease in volume or density of hair, and a center part that continues to widen over time.
Ludwig Stage III:
Stage III is the final and most extreme classification of female hair loss. When a patient is suffering from hair loss at this stage the hair will be extremely thin and the scalp will be very visible. There is extreme shedding and thinning during this stage.
Ludwig Advanced Stage:
Although this stage is rare, it shows a very advanced stage of female pattern hair loss, with almost no hair remaining on the crown or top of the head.
Ludwig Frontal Advanced Stage:
Frontal advanced stage is also a rare condition in female pattern hair loss, however, this type of hair loss is concentrated more at the forehead area than the crown of the head and gradually moves back.
Scalp Micropigmentation would be an excellent hair loss solution for women who are in the Ludwig Stage I and Ludwig stage II to help create density because of thinning hair.
Scalp Micropigmentation would not be a good hair loss solution for women who are in the Ludwig Stage 3 and Ludwig Advances stage. For large bald spots, the areas that receive the scalp micropigmentation treatment would be too noticeable if there are long strands of hair surrounding the bald spots.
