It is understandable that people begin to worry as soon as they notice the first signs of hair loss or thinning. Many young men begin researching Toronto FUE treatments as young as age 20. However, what most people do not realize is that getting a hair transplant when you are too young can actually be counterproductive, resulting in your hair looking worse than before. To understand what the best age is for your FUE hair transplant, it is helpful to first get some clarity on how a hair transplant works.
FUE stands for follicular unit extraction and is a modern hair transplant method. During the procedure, healthy hair follicles are first harvested from the donor site on the scalp. This is typically at the sides or the back of the head, where the hair tends to be much more resistant to shedding. The healthy hair follicles are then transplanted into the donor site where thinning or balding is being treated.
Toronto FUE treatments deliver the most natural-looking results, as great care is taken to mimic the angle and direction of your natural hair pattern when transplanting the donor follicles.
