Are You a Hair Transplant Candidate?

There are many factors that determine whether someone is a candidate for a hair transplant, such as age (typically those under 25), certain medical reasons, lack of donor area and arguably most important, expectations.

The Facts

• A hair transplant does not stop hair loss; however the follicles are as permanent as the hair in the donor area (the sides and back of the head) which is generally predetermined not to fall out.

• A hair transplant is a redistribution of the finite amount of donor hair. The utmost care must be taken to not waste any hair from this area.

• A consult with the physician or physician’s assistant is critical to getting a true medical diagnosis and establishing a hair restoration plan with realistic expectations.
