Age For Hair Transplant

The appropriate age for performing the hair transplant is the one where the rarefaction is more visible and affects the psychology of the patient. It is best to start the first transplant session at a young age and repeat a few years later, before losing all of one's hair. 

The success of a hair transplant depends on the successful natural integration of hair implanted among existing hair and the application of the appropriate conservative treatment, often by 5% minoxidil and PRP (Plasma rich in platelets), in order to maintain the already existing hair.

Given that androgenetic alopecia is a progressively evolved state, largely related to the effect of androgens in our body, hair loss, and progressive rarefaction caused, accompany the patient throughout his post-pubertal life. But especially, between 20-40 years, the phenomenon of hair loss is quite intense. 

When the first session of the hair transplant takes place at a young age, it is almost certain that the patient must inquire about the possibility of the need for a second operation in the future, because of the permanent fall.

Determining factors for the success of the hair transplant and the quality of the final result are also the severity of the problem and the degree of rarefaction. Alopecia located in the frontal area or at the top of the head can be sufficiently treated even during a single session, with perfect accumulation. In contrast, cases of extensive baldness classified at Norwood V-VII levels require 2-3 sessions in order to achieve satisfactory coverage when there is a sufficient donor region. 

In some cases, the insufficiency of the donor region in combination with the severity of the problem of baldness may lead to the forced choice of a specific region that will be covered (eg frontal area), or to a thicker placement. in the whole Calvi region.
