I'm 20 years old, I started losing my hair at 16 maybe, I've been using Minoxidil for about 7 months with no results so I'm considering a transplant. I think my uncle has the same pattern as me and he is 40 and has hair on the back of his head and high above the temples on each side, given this, can I do a transplant at my age to take precautions of future loss, or is it a bad idea?
Answer: Hair loss Hello, Now you are at a very young age for hair transplantation, if your hairs still falling out you need to wait couple years more to see the condition of your hairs. If you are using Minoxidil then don't just stop using them, slowly lower the dose of it not to increase hair lose. Consultation with good dermatologist will help you to find the problem, my be it is because of the lack of vitamins or hormones, after he might advise you PRP procedure or mesotherapy.

Answer: Getting a transplant? There are a few reasons why getting a hair transplant isn’t the right option. Lets go over some of them: You cannot transplant hairs as close together as they grow on their ownCutting the holes required in the transplant region to put in the hairs will hurt blood supply to the surrounding hairs and cause them to be lost sooner.A transplant will not stop the ongoing process of hair loss and you will lose the hair around and behind the transplanted hairs unless he does something to stop it.If he relies only on transplant there will not be sufficient hairs to move from the donor area o cover the whole area that will eventually be lost.Any medicine that actually can make changes inside your body, are required under the FDA to be available by prescription only. This therefore means that it is not possible for anything that does not require a prescription to cure or prevent hair loss or regrow thinning hair. Thus, a personalized medicine will be the best choice because instead of a "one size fits all" approach, you will be taking something which is truly catered to your body's needs.The right treatment is out there. Good luck on your search.
