Who is hair transplant surgery best for?
A hair transplant can be done in various techniques, but they all involve taking areas of the scalp where there is active hair growth and grafting the skin from those areas onto the thinning or balding spots on the scalp. Since it is quite an invasive procedure, not everyone is a suitable candidate to receive a hair transplant. Someone who has experienced hair loss for quite some time but is no longer losing more hair may be qualified for a surgical hair transplant, but a doctor’s approval is still a must.
Getting a hair transplant may seem promising, but it doesn’t guarantee a one-off definitive treatment for a thinning or balding scalp. Many other hair treatments are more affordable and less invasive than a hair transplant.
When you consult a Mosh doctor, you can explore various treatment options tailored to your needs and desired results. Our doctors will consider all factors causing your hair concerns and give you science-backed advice on improving your chances of achieving the results you want. Because you can consult your Mosh doctor from the privacy and comfort of your home, you can discuss your concerns with your doctor more confidently.
How long do hair transplants usually last?
In theory, while the transplanted hair will be permanent, loss of the native surrounding hair may still progress[1]. Some patients may have to undergo more than one hair transplant surgery in their lifetime. Maintenance medical treatments may also be needed even after a successful hair transplant to maintain the transplanted hairs and prevent the thinning of other hairs on the scalp as well.
No hair treatment can completely prevent hair thinning and balding that is caused by genetic factors, but early treatment may help you avoid losing more hair and improve the health of the hair on your scalp.[2]
When you’re ready to discuss your hair-related concerns with a doctor, you can book an online consultation with a Mosh doctor at your convenience. You may reach your doctor via text, call, or video chat to ask them about anything you may be curious about, such as a stem cell hair transplant in Sydney or the possible factors that affect hair growth.
You may also opt to fill out our online questionnaire so your doctor can get a quick summary of what you’re dealing with. A Mosh doctor will then reach out to you for a confidential conversation about your concerns and walk you through the available treatment options that are suitable for you.
What is the best age to get a hair transplant?
Anyone considering getting a hair transplant in Sydney should know that hair loss is progressive, so men in their 20s may not be ideal candidates for a hair transplant.[3] This is because the cause of their hair growth problems or the pattern at which they lose hair is still not fully determined. Men in the 40s to 50s age bracket may have better success with a hair transplant.[4] However, it is important to consult with your doctor prior to undergoing a hair transplant.
At Mosh, you get ongoing support from your doctor to get updated advice as your situation changes. Depending on your unique circumstances, your doctor may simply recommend a personalised treatment plan for you, which may include prescription medicine or sprays. If your doctor prescribes some medications and you agree to take them, they can be delivered discreetly to your doorstep, with refills automatically delivered as needed.
