When to get a hair transplant?
Legally, hair transplant surgery can be performed on anyone above the age of 18, but for practical reasons, it is advisable not to undergo this surgery until you reach the age of 30.
- Your hairline is still forming between the age of 18 and 29.
- Before recommending a hair transplant, the surgeon will consider various factors which will be difficult to assess before you attain the age of 30, such as:
- Hair loss type and causes,
- Hair loss pattern,
- Quality of the donor's hair,
- Size of the balding area.
- Hairline pattern and health
- As patients approach their 30s, their hair loss slows down and becomes more predictable.
- Possible risks from early hair transplant surgery (that is, before the age of 30):
- The transplanted hair will be fixated permanently, but hair loss will be progressive, so over the course of the next few years, you will lose more hair, while a permanent strip of the transplanted hair will remain. This will give an unnatural look.
- May contribute to premature hair loss owing to the addition of more hair on healthy spots, which may have not been attacked by pattern baldness.
- While waiting till 30 is advisable, there are some exceptions depending on individual patients and their requirements.
Other considerations for hair transplant surgery apart from balding pattern and age:
- Individuals who lost hair from scarring, scalp injuries, or surgical procedures.
- People who desire to thicken their eyebrows, mustaches, or beards.
- Patients who underwent hair restoration procedures before the surgery.

I have lost my upfront hair since 2018. It is continuously falling and I looks like aged person.

Hello ma'am, I am a 27 years old girl. My hair has gotten thinner. I wanted to have a permanent solution. So I would like to go for a hair transplant. But I am not bald, it's just I want it to look good. Should I go for surgery?
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 | 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.

Sir Mera Hair Fall Ho Raha Hai
Male | 18
Hair loss is something that can happen due to several factors. However, the main reasons for this occurrence are the intensity of the hair, the distribution of hairs, the underlying disorders, and genetics. A few symptoms of hair fall include either a bigger size comb or more hair on your clothes that are normally covered in hair and thinning of hair. Assess your diet and get enough rest. Be gentle on your hair using soft hair care products and don't do tight hairstyles. If the problem progresses then ask a dermatologist for help.

Hello sir, I am looking for androgenic alopecia treatment. This issue I have been facing for the last 1 year. I am 36 years. Initially, I didn't notice that much, but now I can see near the top of the head has become almost empty. Please sir let me know if this can be cured.

Absolutely. It can be cured by performing Hair transplant procedure where we can implant the hair follicles removed from donor area, into the required balding area, giving you back your youthful look.

How do I cure my androgenetic alopecia?
Androgenic alopecia is a genetic problem that is triggered by epigenetic influences.
High quality, ultrarefined fue hair transplant surgery is the treatment of choice in case there is significant thinning/baldness.
In Hair transplant, one has to remember a few things-
1. Hair transplant is an ART. A natural result is very important. We take care of that by ensuring absolutely natural angles and directions of the transplanted grafts.
2. Equally important is density (how many grafts are transplanted per square centimetre). In 25 years of my experience, I have found that no one is satisfied by a low density hair transplant.
A great hair transplant, therefore, is one where the patient puts forward his choice of hairline design, on the one hand, and the doctor gives a natural look as well as the best possible density using all the available grafts from the patient's scalp, beard and body donor areas.
For the remaining areas, where the patient is noticing early hairfall or diffuse thinning, it's important to improve the epigenome of the patient.
Epigenome can be best described as the inner environment of the body, especially, around our genes. Epigenome is affected by a wide variety of things including diet, exercise, stress, illness, pollution etc. A stressed/flawed epigenome is why we find :
1. People losing hair 10 years before their previous generations.
2. Hairfall is preceded by an adverse event like an illness or change of diet, water or location.
Till recent times, doctors did not use to pay attention to these factors, taking them to be incidental in a disease largely governed by our genes.
However, correcting these epigenetic anomalies goes a long way in reducing or even reversing hairfall.
Epigenetic measures are more personalised according to patient history and involves feeding the hair follicle roots/stem cells by a microneedling based, home-use approach.
More details are available on request.
(Please note that we don't advocate medicines with questionable effects and serious side effects like finasteride.)

Male | 31
Yes, burned eyebrows can be treated with eyebrow transplants. The procedure involves take hair follicles from some parts of your body and transplanting them in the area where your eyebrows are burnt. I advise you to please consult a reputed hair transplant surgeon for it. After proper evaluation, he will tell you whether you are eligible for eyebrow transplant or need some other treatment.

Hair transplant is a procedure that involves extracting hair from donor area and transplanting it to the bald area. The results of this procedure may vary from person to person depending on the donor hair available, the experience of the doctor etc. It is advisable to meet a hair transplant surgeon in person for proper evaluation and understanding whether you are eligible for hair transplant or not.

I have a baldness in my crown area. Hair transplant is the only option?
Male | 32
Hair transplant is one of the most effective and commonly chosen options for addressing baldness in the crown area of the scalp. Whether it is the right option for you depends on various factors, including your individual circumstances, preferences, and the extent of your hair loss. Talk to a hair transplant surgeon in your area. You can also opt for non-surgical options for managing hair loss in the crown area, such as medications or low-level laser therapy.

Male | 19
Your hair is falling out severely and you are experiencing baldness in the central part of your scalp. This could be a case of alopecia areata. Symptoms include sudden loss of hair in patches. Psychological pressure, heredity, or autoimmune disorders may be the reasons for this. Consult a dermatologist who can recommend treatments such as topical medications or injections to stimulate hair growth.

Male | 32
Hair loss on the front and beard can be due to several factors including genes, stress or some health conditions. Genes and nutritional deficiencies may also cause premature greying of hair. I would recommend seeking professional advice from a dermatologist who will diagnose the underlying condition with subsequent provision of appropriate treatment options

My hair are getting thinner day by day and it is genetic disorder because my father and his father are also bald ,suggest me something on this please
Male | 22
You are experiencing hair loss due to a hereditary condition known as male pattern baldness. This is a common issue often inherited from family members. A key symptom is that your hair will gradually become thinner. Unfortunately, this type of hair loss is difficult to cure, and there's no guaranteed solution to stop it completely. However, there are options to potentially slow down the process, such as medications or hair restoration procedures. Consult a dermatologist or a hair specialist to determine the best treatment for your situation.
