Which age is best for hair transplant? This is the main question. Although hair transplant can be done at any age. Some surgeons say that it is okay to undergo a hair transplant surgery as soon as you start losing your hair no matter what the age is while some surgeons mostly recommend not having this treatment before 25.

Nowadays we have seen balding is common at every age. Hair loss has become a major issue in our society. In the past, it was seen that men who turn 40 or 50, get bald or lose their hair due to weakness or age factors. Now, in the present, we have seen that people are going bald at a very young age. This is the reason that hair transplant is also becoming popular. We have seen 18 years old going bald, it is a common factor for a 25 or 30 years old person to lose his hair.

However baling and receding hair lines can affect people at any age but people who get bald at an early age create more concerns. Who doesn’t love hair? Although we all do because hair is the part of our beauty.  Experiencing hair loss at an early age can affect the person’s appearance and self-esteem leaving no other option and leading to a hair transplant.  Thus getting a hair transplant to get back our hair is crucial .

Now here the question arises, which age is best for hair transplant. Although who has lost his hair at an early age has this question in his mind.

Now according to the hair transplant experts, getting a hair transplant at a very early age is not recommended. The reason behind this is that people in their early age or early 20s start to lose their hair and undergoing a hair transplant at this point is not a good option because their hair loss cause or the pattern is not fully determined at this point. There are chances that they could lose more hair after the treatment.

Secondly, when a candidate is out for a hair transplant, the surgeon thoroughly checks the candidate’s scalp and hair. These checkups include hair type, scalp type, cause of baldness, hair loss pattern, quality of the donor’s hair, and the size of the balding area.

How is a Hair Transplant Done?

After examining all the things, the surgeon extracts the donor’s hair follicles or the hair follicles f the individual. Sometimes the entire strip of scalp from the head of the individual is extracted that has healthy hair growth. These extracted hair follicles or scalp strips are then transplanted into the bald area of the candidate. Hair transplant is a surgical process and the incisions are healed after some time. Although the replaced follicles start promoting natural growth of the hair. Within the time it looks natural and fully determined.

Hence, it is always recommended to meet your surgeon two to three times before getting any treatment done in hurry. For getting your hair transplant, a person must wait until 25. Although hair transplant can be done at any age the best option is to wait until you cross your mid 20.
