What Makes You the Ideal Candidate for Hair Transplant?

81% of the baldness is due to genetics. Medical conditions, hormonal imbalance and some medications are the causes in the remaining 19% cases. We are not advocating that being bald can take a toll on your personality. Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham and there are many other hot bald male celebrities. Baldness is not a problem for all. If it is killing your confidence then yes, it is a serious problem. The good news is, there is a surgical solution to the problem of hair loss. However, you have to be an ideal candidate for the hair transplant procedure. Your candidacy for this procedure depends on following factors.

Types of Hair Loss    
The rate of hair growth declines as we age.  Following are the types of hair loss:
        Involutional Alopecia 
        Androgenic alopecia
        Alopecia Universalis
        Trichotillomania
        Telogen Effluvium 
        Scarring Alopecias

Telogen Effluvium is a kind of hair loss in which you lose hair due to stress. This condition is difficult to treat. However, in the most of the cases, hair grows back once the stress period is over. However, if you are suffering from pattern baldness, this procedure can do wonders. The hair transplant procedure treats two conditions – baldness and thinning of hair. The procedure is simple. Hair follicles from a denser area are extracted and implanted into an area from where hair are shredding.

Location of Hair Loss
This condition is difficult to treat if the hair loss is throughout the scalp. Follicles are extracted from the sides and back of the head as these areas are least affected by baldness.

Progression of Hair Loss
Some people visit the best hair transplant doctor in Los Angeles when the hair loss is in its initial stage. However, this is not a good move as it may result in patchy appearances. As a consequence, you may need multiple hair transplant procedures. There is an ideal age for hair transplant that is 40 to 45 years.

Alternative Treatments for Hair Transplant            
In addition to hair transplant, there are several other options available for the treatment of hair loss. If you are not the ideal candidate for surgical hair transplant procedure, you can opt for non surgical treatments such as Stem Cell Therapy, Platelet rich plasma therapy, Mesotherapy and A Cell/PRP therapy.
