Question:
I am in my mid 20s and considering a hair transplant. If I do this at such a young age, will it still be a permanent solution?

Answer:
Yes. In most cases, no matter what age the patient is when they have a hair transplantation procedure, the results are for the most part permanent.

In patients who are in their early or mid 20s, a much more conservative approach should be used when performing hair transplantation.

The reason for this is the younger the patient is when they start this process of hair transplantation, the more years there are in the future when they could continue to lose more hair, requiring additional hair transplantation procedures.

It is, therefore, recommended to be very conservative with younger transplant patients to allow them to conserve as much donor hair for later, if necessary, as possible.
