"Female androgenetic alopecia is a type of hair loss that occurs when the hair gradually loses density in the parietal areas of the head while respecting the frontal hairline. Female androgenetic alopecia, also known as common baldness, affects 5-10% of women and is defined as excessive hair loss that follows a specific pattern."

Marta, 42 years old

Solution for androgenetic alopecia female

Something changed for Marta after she had her second child. It wasn't just that there were more laughter at home, occasional sleepless nights, and a new little person to care for. After pregnancy, her hair gradually lost volume and density. This worried Marta, but it was resolved as soon as she visited a specialized hair center where she was recommended the volume systems by the experts in Integral Hair hair integration systems.

 

Progressive loss of volume and hair density

Based on the information provided by the professionals at the center, we designed a Partial Integration System, selecting hairs that closely matched her texture and color. 

We used a micro-perforated base weaving system that allowed her hair to intertwine with the new hair, thus recovering volume and density. This system can be washed and dried normally, requiring only a monthly or six-week revision at the hair center. And so, Marta could continue to enjoy laughter and everything else, with the same naturalness as always. 

This procedure is similar to what is also done in cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia. Now, in addition to her smile, Marta has regained volume and density in her hair and maintains it by regularly visiting one of our collaborating centers.
