Female Hair Transplant Surgery in Cardiff

Hair loss in women can be a deeply personal and emotional experience, affecting confidence and self-image. At HQ Hair Transplants, Cardiff, we specialise in female hair restoration with discreet, expert care. Led by our team of specialist Surgeons, Transplant Technicians and in house Trichology trained advisors, our experienced team offer both FUE and FUT hair transplant methods to treat a range of female hair loss types — helping women restore not just their hair, but their self-esteem.

What Types of Female Hair Loss Can Be Treated?

While female hair loss is often misunderstood, a wide variety of causes can now be successfully treated through surgical hair restoration. At HQ, we tailor our treatment plans to the cause, severity, and pattern of your hair loss.

Common Conditions We Treat:

  • Genetic Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL)
    Often caused by genetics or age-related hormone changes. Thinning typically begins at the parting or crown and gradually spreads.
  • Traction Alopecia
    Caused by tight hairstyles over time, leading to thinning or bald patches, particularly around the hairline or temples.
  • Naturally High Hairlines / Large Foreheads
    Hairline lowering (also known as forehead reduction) can reshape and redefine the upper facial frame, balancing overall facial proportions.
  • Postpartum / Hormonal Hair Loss
    Hair loss caused by hormonal changes may improve naturally, but persistent cases can be eligible for surgical restoration once stabilized.
  • Chemotherapy-Related Hair Loss
    In certain cases, once treatment is complete and scalp health returns, transplants can help restore permanent hair density.

Note: Active conditions like alopecia areata or unstable hormone imbalances may not be suitable for transplantation until medically resolved.

How Hair Transplants Work for Women

At HQ Hair Transplants, we offer two advanced surgical techniques:

  • Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
    • Involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area (typically the back of the head).
    • Minimally invasive and leaves tiny dot scars that are virtually undetectable.
    • Ideal for smaller or more targeted areas, such as temples or parting.
  • Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
    • A thin strip of scalp is removed from the donor area and dissected into grafts under a microscope.
    • Allows more grafts to be harvested in a single session, which is ideal for larger areas of thinning.
    • Leaves a fine, linear scar hidden by surrounding hair.

If a transplant is not the right treatment for you we also offer PRP and MESOTHERAPY and RED LIGHT LASER THERAPY

  • Donor Area: Back of the Head
    • Hair from the back and sides of the scalp is most genetically resistant to thinning and offers permanent, natural growth once transplanted.
    • Donor site is chosen based on hair quality, density, and long-term sustainability.

Recovery & Results Timeline

Hair transplant recovery is straightforward and guided by our specialist aftercare team.

Timeframe

What to Expect

Day 1–3

Mild swelling and redness. Tiny scabs form on the grafts.

Day 4–10

Scabs naturally fall away. Most patients return to work within a week.

Week 2–4

“Shock shedding” phase begins – transplanted hairs fall out temporarily.

Month 3–4

New hair growth begins to emerge.

Month 6

Hair thickens noticeably, continuing to mature.

Month 9–12

Full, permanent results visible. Natural density and styling return.

We advise avoiding strenuous activity, heat, and hair colouring for the first few weeks post-op. Our team offers ongoing support and tailored aftercare plans at every stage of recovery.
