At 27 years of age in females, the decision to go in for hair transplantation has to be taken after a proper checkup and trichscopic examination ( microscopic evaluation of scalp along with the hair shafts ). But as an overview you can understand that hair transplant is not done in females for hair fall or generalized thinning but when the thinning has gone to the extent of visible skin showing through the thinning of the hair. Before it reaches this stage of visible loos there are other more conservative methods of treatment and therapies which can be of help and should be tried first. In case the loss is to the extent that at places skin is visible more esp at the place of parting or the front or the middle portion of the head then it is an indication to go for hair transplantation in females.

Male | 58

40000 graft is a myth or may be wrongly heard. At max around 2500-3500 grafts can be implanted in one session and maximum 4000-4500 grafts may be implanted in two sessions. I have no idea about Chennai but surgery might take upto 6-8 hrs. and this varies from clinic to clinic.

Male | 19

It's quite common to have worries about baldness at a young age. Hair loss may be a result of stress, poor diet, or hereditary factors. Minoxidil combined with finasteride can be beneficial for hair growth, but it is crucial to use it according to the doctor's instructions. Daily use may be needed for maximum effect.

Meri 21 year age hai or mere bal hair kine piche ki or ja rahi hai so plz treetment kya kare.?

Male | 21

For 21 yr old males receding of the hairline is the beginning of Androgenic Alopecia or male pattern baldness. It needs to be evaluated at this stage if the progression can be significantly delayed by means of local applications and therapies and if it had already receded to an extent that the person is not comfortable by just stopping further loss but wants a correction or in other words want to get his original hairline back then hair transplant is a straight forward and easy option and a long term solution.

What to expect 2 months after hair transplant?

Female | 34

Hi,

If you are talking about results after hair transplant,then in that case you need to wait. After 2 months of hair transplant, transplanted hair would be in shedding phase which would continue upto three or three and a half month.

So you would not be able to see much difference in your hairloss condition. But at that period you should continue with your regular medication to get the good results.
