Hair Transplant for a 21 Year Old Woman Losing Hair?

Dear doctor

I am a 21 year old female. I’ve been losing my hair since i had my first period when i was 12. Now i have very thin hair and almost no hair on the front of my scalp. i went to many doctors here in the middle east and all of them said its genetic. Now i am using Regaine 2%. I am thinking of doing a hair transplant. what do you think? And if there is any recommendation of my case?

Thank you

I can’t tell if you’re a candidate without an exam. Many women are unfortunately not hair transplant candidates, though. I’m not sure what tests the doctors you’ve seen might have run, but if you went to many doctors and all of them say it was genetics, I won’t argue the point.

How long have you been using the Rogaine? Also, have you looked into using a topical camouflage like DermMatch or Toppik? Here are some examples:
