I am 21 years old, and I began losing hair when i was 19. The area around my hair line is very thin now. I was wondering, is hair transplant is an option for me right now? Who should ideally consider having hair transplant done?
Answer: The Ideal Candidate for Surgical Hair Restoration Traditionally, a good candidate for hair restoration surgery was a man or woman with healthy and permanent hair in the back of his/her head (know as the “donor area” from which the hair is harvested during the procedure) coupled with an area of thinning (i.e. the “recipient area”) that can benefit from the addition of those healthy hair follicles between each hair.

Answer: Who is a Good Candidate for Hair Transplant? #Neograft #follicular unit extraction Thank you for your question! Being 21 years old and have thinning hair, the approach to maintaining your hair may be a better option at this point. If you were to have hair restoration, potentially the transplanted hair will live in its new location, yet additional hair loss would continue, especially if you don't take steps to maintain your current hair count. This may lead to an unaesthetic appearance down the line. Options include using propecia, an oral medication helping with maintaining your current hair count, platelet rich plasma injections to help slow down the progressive hair loss, hair supplements including various third party products and oral supplements, and light therapy. If you were to get hair transplants, a strategic location for the transplants would need to be discussed with your hair transplant surgeon so that you can anticipate a hairline that would look realistic and is masculine appearing. These are all topics you can bring to your consultation that may be helpful in the future speaking to your surgeon. I hope this helps

Answer: Hair transplant at 21 Hair transplant is not generally performed until patients have reached their early to mid 20's. I typically wait on hair transplant until a patient is about 22 years old at the youngest, but each patient is unique. The key factors to consider are the extent of hair loss at a young age, any other medical issues that may be contributing, and the family history of hair loss. Family history allows us to better predict what the eventual extent and pattern of hair loss might be.

Answer: Wait Until Hair Loss Has Slowed Thanks for your question. It's not abnormal to see younger men experiencing hair loss, but it's still too early for you to undergo a restoration procedure. For the best results, it's best to wait until the hair loss process has slowed down or stabilized before undergoing a transplant. At this point, it's still too early in the hair loss process to predict what pattern your loss will take. By delaying your procedure, you can ensure that you get natural-looking results that will last as long as possible.
