Hair Implants for Woman in Her 20's?

Unfortunately this is very unlikey to be successful. People with diffuse, thin hair are not good candidates because there is no good donor hair.

You must take two things into consideration here. 1) is there an underlying cause for the diffuse hair loss that should be investigated? 2) If the problem is familial (genetic) and a diffuse pattern, will you be satisfied with a less than thick ( very dense ) result, or would you rather consider a weave or other process. See a good transplant surgeon and get a first hand recommendation. Age is not the problem here 20 is not too young so long as other factors are O.K. more

There is only a small percentage of women who are good candidates for a hair transplant. The reason for this is because most women that we see tend to have what we call diffused thinning. Meaning that the hair is thin all over. If we were to take hair from the back of the head, which is thinning(diffused), more than likely, that hair would be pre-destined to fall out at a later date. However, we see women who have what we call male pattern baldness as well. This condition is... more

I agree with most of the surgeons answers, particularly doing a workup to make sure that there is not a correctable medical problem, e.g., hormonal imbalance, low thyroid, low ferritin, etc., or a dermatologic condition like chronic telogen effluvium, etc. If medical and skin conditions are ruled out and your donor area is spared, there is a chance for hair restoration so long as you understand the limitations in your situation. Again, all of this would depend on seeing you to look at... more

Hair transplants can be done in men or women of any age, as long as they meet the criteria for this surgery. However, a person with diffuse thinness is usually not a candidate. The lack of thickness may just be an inherited physical characteristic, but I strongly recommend a thorough physical evaluation by your family practitioner or internist to rule out any medical cause such as a thyroid abnormality.

Patients with diffuse hair loss at any age are generally not candidates for hair transplants. You should have a work up by your primary care physician, which should include several blood tests.

Hair transplant surgery can be performed on people of any age. In your case, given a diffuse loss at such a young age, I would question if you have an underlying medical condition that is causing your hair loss. I would suggest talking with your primary care physician or obtaining a consultation with a dermatologist. At times, treating the medical condition can cause your hair to regrow. A hair transplant though, is not a good option for someone with diffuse hair loss.

I assume you mean hair transplants. This is not for people with diffuse loss. You can however get hair extensions which will thicken the look of your hair.
