Not everyone who is interested in a hair transplant is experiencing any significant amount of hair loss. In fact, it is fairly common for men and women alike to want to increase the amount of hair on the head, without seeing any balding or excess loss of hair, and this is where doing a hair transplant becomes of interest.
Many hair transplant doctors are open to doing a hair transplant on someone who is not balding, as long as the client is considered a good candidate. And what makes someone a good candidate for a hair transplant where there is no hair loss will ultimately depend on the hair transplant doctor, as they all have different criterions. The most basic qualifications for being able to do a hair transplant, regardless of hair loss, is that the client is not too young, is healthy, and has an acceptable amount of donor hair.
A hair transplant on someone with no hair loss can be done to thicken out the hair or fill in certain areas. And while this type of hair transplant can be done on a healthy client regardless of sex, there are a few gender specific differences. It is important for women to make sure they do not have any hormonal conditions before considering a hair transplant. This is because if there is a medical condition, hair will sometimes increase once the condition has been treated. Also, a woman with naturally thin hair may not be an optimal candidate for a hair transplant because her hair is usually thinned out over the entire scalp, which means her donor areas would be too thin. When it comes to men the situation is different because the hair usually thins out around the top and crown of the head, which still means there is enough donor hair on the sides and the back.
While it is possible to have a hair transplant without experiencing any significant hair loss, there are other solutions to look at first. A hair transplant is a long term procedure which requires a great amount of time and patience. This is why anyone considering a hair transplant should make sure they have explored all their other options first. The first step is to make sure there are no underlying medical conditions that have resulted in lack of hair. After that, one should make sure be to leading a healthy lifestyle. Additionally, there are many other things one can do to increase the amount of hair on the head, such as taking hair loss medications that can be prescribed by a hair loss doctor.
Someone who has tried every option that there is and still is not satisfied with the amount of hair that they have can carefully consider a hair transplant. But realistic expectations are always important to keep, as there might be a limitation to what a hair transplant doctor can achieve, especially if there is lack of donor hair.
