What is the appropriate age for a hair transplant?
What is the appropriate age for a hair transplant? Is it necessary to shave the hair prior to the transplantation procedure? My 18-year-old son has been experiencing hair shedding for the past two years. Can he undergo a hair transplant at his current age, and is it standard procedure to shave the hair before the transplantation?

18 years of age is a very early age for hair transplantation. If you want, let's make an assessment for a preliminary examination. Get well soon.

I think it might be better to start with preventive treatments while you're a bit younger, and then think about transplantation after 25, when hair loss tends to speed up. To schedule an interview, just give us a call.
