Transgender Hair Transplantation is Available in Palo Alto, Foster City & The Bay Area
Bay Area residents going through gender-affirming therapy, or GAHT, experience a litany of changes. There are physical changes in muscles and fat. Their skin can soften, and their voices can change.
Johns Hopkins Medicine wrote an article on what can happen as an individual transitions. Many of those changes are permanent. When it comes to the redistribution of hair, there might be some surprising changes. A female-to-male transition, or FTM, might result in hair loss. The hormone therapy has triggered the person’s family genetics of male pattern baldness. And if they are OK with it, then great! But if they want to present with a particular masculine style, transgender hair transplantation is here for persons in the Bay Area, with our office in Foster City near to San Mateo as well as our intake office in Palo Alto.
Let’s use an FTM individual as an example. He isn’t shocked to see his hair falling out; it runs in the male side of the family. But he would really like to sport a bushy beard like his uncles. And the facial hair is coming in a bit patchy. A beard transplant could be the answer.
On the other hand, there’s another FTM individual who is surprised to see their hair thinning. They want thick manly hair with a specific pattern. It could be possible. Others might wish for the appearance of hair in a skull cap-style shaved head. This is where micropigmentation is a great option.
And there are options for male-to-female or MTF transitioners too. Sometimes an MTF individual could already be experiencing thinning hair. A complete assessment by Dr. Miguel Canales can help diagnose the type of hair loss they’re going through. Then the next step is to review all the solutions for a more feminine hairline.
