If you're willing to commit to a lifetime of treatments to help you keep your hair, you may be a good candidate to start the transplant process. Although you say that you'd be willing to have multiple transplants over your life, that's not really up to you; its up to the total number of follicles that can be safely harvested from your donor area. Starting hair transplants in your mid-20s also means a commitment to managing your total donor pool so that you don't run out of donor hair before you've completed your restoration.
A good way to start the transplant process at this age is to commit to transplanting only the very key cosmetic areas, typically towards the frontal scalp. At the same time, doing more to optimize/regrow your crown, such as by adding laser therapy or PRP. In other words, it means doing as much as you can to regrow as much of your own hair while minimizing the amount you need to dip into your donor pool, leaving behind as much as possible for the future.

You are an excellent candidate for hair transplantation! 
We typically recommend patients between the ages of 20-40 who have healthy skin and no signs of pattern baldness. Your photos show great potential for success. We would expect you to achieve a Norwood Grade III result.
Here are some things you should know before opting for a hair transplant.
There is no perfect hair transplant technique. Every patient is different and requires a unique approach. Most surgeons use a combination of techniques to ensure optimal results. A successful hair transplant depends on several variables such as the number of grafts used, the quality of the donor area, the recipient site, and the surgeon’s experience.
Donor areas vary greatly in size and shape. Therefore, the amount of grafts needed to cover the entire scalp also varies. Results are best when performed by experienced surgeons. Patients must commit to regular follow-up visits for monitoring and maintenance.
Successful hair transplantation does not guarantee long-term results. Hair loss can recur following any type of hair transplant. Hair transplantation is not a permanent solution to hair loss. Hair transplantation is irreversible.

HI! you are a great candidate for the hair transplantation. One session will be enough for you, since the area of baldness is not so large, in one session we will transplant approximately 3900-4100 grafts using the FUE+DHI methods.We will restore your anterior line, temporal receding hairline (FUE) and also close up to the whole area where it’s needed (crown DHI). This method is allow us to transplant without damaging your hair and result will be maximum and natural.
