When to get a hair transplant?

Hair transplantation is a serious option for treating baldness, but it is not the first step. It should only be considered when certain conditions are met: stabilized hair loss, a sufficient donor area, and a healthy scalp.

Recommended age for a hair transplant

 

Most specialists advise waiting until at least 25 to 27 years old before considering a transplant.
 Before this age, androgenetic alopecia can still progress rapidly, which may lead to an uneven result with new bald spots appearing after the procedure.

 

 

Stability of hair loss

 

A transplant should be performed on a stabilized scalp.

This means having followed a medical or cosmetic treatment (anti-DHT, serums, supplements, lifestyle) to slow down the progression of alopecia.
 Without this, non-transplanted hair will continue to fall out, leaving a sparse appearance despite the transplant.

Quality of the donor area

 

The density and quality of the hair at the nape of the neck determine the number of grafts available.
 An insufficient donor area limits the feasibility and aesthetic result of a transplant.

 

 

Condition of the scalp

 

A transplant will not take on an inflamed scalp.
Seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, or oily scales must be treated before any intervention.
 A pre-transplant protocol is essential to cleanse and prepare the scalp.

In summary

 

A hair transplant is only performed when:

  • baldness is stabilized,

  • the donor area is sufficient,

  • and the scalp is healthy.

Otherwise, it's better to strengthen the base beforehand.

Before thinking about a transplant, start by stabilizing your hormonal hair loss. Discover our Hormonal Hair Loss Protocol, designed to act directly on DHT and protect your follicles.
