Hair replacement therapy isn't just for men. Fewer than one in ten bald people are women, but the needs of balding women are even more pressing than those of men. If you're a woman who is balding, don't hesitate to look into hair replacement therapy.

Hair replacement therapy is usually done under local anesthesia -- you're not asleep, just relaxed. There won't be any pain, but you may feel a tugging or pulling sensation. More complex methods, however, may use general anesthesia to put you to sleep.

Aftercare for hair replacement surgery is fairly simple. Basic pain medication can be used for throbbing, aching, and tightness, and you can (and usually should) wash your hair after two days. You should avoid vigorous exercise for three weeks, and sex for 10 days.
