Can I Get a Hair Transplant at Age 17?

For sure at 17 years old you are too young.  My recommendation for young men like yourself is typically Propecia, laser light therapy, and of course you need a personal evaluation.

Dear NainishThanks for the question. There is no age limit as such for a hair transplantation. But people under the age group of 18 years to 80 years usually options for hair transplantation as the symptoms of balding and spot balding occur within this span of life. I wish you all the best.

Hair transplant surgery does not have a "rule" in when you can have surgery.  Generally, when you are very early in the hair loss process doctors cannot easily predict how much hair you may lose.  If you have to surgery too early, you may look worse as you lose more hair.A doctor needs to examine a patient first to make sure they are a surgery candidate with good donor hair. The examination may find that the patient may be at an increased risk of further hair loss and the surgery may actually make the patient look worse or require more surgery. The patient also has to understand that hair transplant surgery is not a cure and that they will continue to have further hair loss of non-transplanted hairs. The patient needs to have realistic goals and understand what is possible and what is not possible with surgery.
