Can a Young Man Get a Hair Transplant?

There are many factors to consider when contemplating a hair transplant. Age is one of them. Typically we expect patients to be at least 25 years old before considering them for a hair transplant. For young patients, it’s hard to predict future hair loss. This makes it difficult to map out a plan that will look appropriate 10 or 20 years from now. Alternatively, patients in their late 40’s or 50’s have probably established a pattern of loss that’s much easier to predict and treat. There are some circumstances where a young person is a good candidate. In this particular case, Josh, who is only 22 years old, was completely bald in the front. Restoring that much hair in an empty area will continue to look natural throughout the life of the patient. This was a life changing procedure for him.
