Hair loss is a common health issue and both men and women are victims of this disease. According to experts, a lot of men and women are observed with signs of hair loss. Permanent hair loss or genetic baldness is the most common type of baldness and a hair transplant is the most common treatment for this scalp issue.

Genetic baldness or androgenic alopecia is a serious problem in which hair follicles start to shrink and they never grow new hairs again. As a result, the entire scalp becomes bald gradually. However, male pattern baldness does not affect the back and sides of the scalp since these areas grow baldness resistant hairs. 

Hair transplant experts remove these hairs from the back and sides and transplant them to the bald areas of the scalp. This treatment is called hair transplant surgery. People usually want instant results after the surgery. However, sometimes they have to wait since their age stops them from having the treatment. Thus, a lot of people are curious about the exact age for hair transplant surgery.

According to hair loss experts, if you are a 20 years old patient, it is possible you have to wait for more to get the treatment. At this age, the progression of hair loss is going on and the expert is not able to determine the stabilized pattern of hair loss. Suppose the patient gets the treatment at this age, it is possible a new bald area occurs on the bald scalp.

Should you wait for a hair transplant? If your surgeon is not fully convinced, you need to wait. After the treatment, the transplanted hair will grow unchanged strength but male pattern baldness will do its job to affect other areas of the scalp. We are sure you would not like to visit the clinic again for another surgery.

 If you want the best hair transplant, let your surgeon check your scalp and hair. Treat his decision as final if the surgeon is not ready to perform a hair transplant due to the constant progression of male pattern baldness.

Hair loss doctors have other approaches to prevent hair loss temporarily. For example, medicines like Minoxidil and Finasteride are effective and FDA-approved medicines for hair loss. Treatments like PRP are also effective to rejuvenate broken hairs.
