From genetics to stress and other health conditions, hair loss can happen to anyone. Some signs are subtle and might take months or years to notice, while others are more drastic due to certain factors, like an underlying condition. If you’ve been thinking about the right time to get a hair transplant, here are some signs to help you decide.
When Is the Best Time to Get a Hair Transplant?
Typically, anyone as young as 25 can get a hair transplant. However, this timing will depend on your situation. Here are some circumstances that indicate it’s the right time to consider a hair transplant:
1. There is a noticeable bald spot.
A sizeable bald spot is something that can impact your confidence. It might feel even worse if that bald spot is in a noticeable location, such as the middle of the head. While combovers and natural hair growth remedies can help, sometimes they aren’t enough to combat troublesome hair loss. It is much easier and more effective to opt for hair transplants.
2. You’ve seen a significant change in your hairline.
When the hair on the crown of your head is thinning or your hair begins to thin around the front of the head, it’s an indication of hair loss. The changes in your hairline are often associated with aging. Hair loss can affect anyone during the aging process, with some elderly patients experiencing hair disorders like androgenetic alopecia, senile alopecia and erosive pustular dermatosis. However, the hairline can begin receding earlier.
3. The hair loss medications are no longer working.
If hair loss treatments are no longer as effective as they were before, getting a hair transplant can be the answer. A hair transplant is a permanent solution for bald spots and thinning hair.
4. Your balding is hereditary.
Most people go bald because hair loss is common among their family members. If left untreated, hereditary baldness can progress over time. By working closely with a surgeon early on, you can treat hair loss problems effectively and ensure your hair will remain consistent regardless of family genes.
5. You want to be happier and more confident.
Hair loss can have a series of psychological effects, including decreased confidence, social withdrawal, and even depression. If you want to live life happily and confidently without the restrictions of hair loss, a hair transplant is a transformative decision that can bring positive results.
