Eligibility Criteria for Hair Transplant Candidates

In order to be a candidate for hair transplantation, which is one of the most performed aesthetic operations, people must meet certain conditions.  If you are asking “Am I a suitable candidate for hair transplantation?”, here are some important factors to keep in mind to determine whether a candidate is suitable for hair transplantation and whether he/she can achieve the desired results. Thus, you can better evaluate the candidacy status.

Can Anyone Have a Hair Transplant?

Hair transplantation is an aesthetic procedure performed by individuals who meet certain criteria and are eligible for surgical intervention. However, there are a number of factors that determine whether it is suitable for everyone. Detailed information about the criteria for hair transplantation:

  1. Age Criteria: Since each patient’s hair loss history will be different, a medical age criterion cannot be determined. Generally, individuals over the age of 24 are more suitable candidates for hair transplantation. This age is a period when hair loss is generally stable and the hairline becomes prominent.
  2. General Health Status: The general health status of hair transplant candidates is important. People who have a chronic disease or are not suitable for surgical intervention are not suitable candidates for hair transplantation.
  3. Hair Quality and Loss Level: Hair quality and hair loss level are important factors affecting suitability for hair transplantation. The donor area where the hair follicles will be transplanted and the number of grafts to be taken should also be taken into consideration in planning.
  4. Scalp Condition: If there are infections, wounds or skin problems in the area to be transplanted, this may be an obstacle for hair transplantation.
  5. Sufficiency of the Donor Area: The hair follicles required for hair transplantation are usually located at the nape of the neck. People who do not have enough healthy hair follicles in this area cannot undergo hair transplantation.
  6. Psychological Preparation: It is important for hair transplant candidates to be psychologically prepared before the procedure. The person should be informed about their expectations, possible problems and results after the operation.

These factors, which determine whether everyone is suitable for hair transplantation, may vary depending on the individual’s special conditions such as general health status, hair loss characteristics and preparedness for surgery. For this reason, it is recommended that individuals considering hair transplantation consult a specialist to assess their condition and get detailed information about the procedure.

What are the Characteristics of the Best Candidates for Hair Transplantation?

Even though you meet the above criteria, the characteristics of your hair are also very effective in hair transplantation. The natural characteristics of the hair play an important role in determining the best candidates for hair transplantation. These features are as follows:

1. Hair Color Criteria

Hair color is an important factor that can affect hair transplant results because the contrast between hair color and scalp color plays a key role in determining the appearance of baldness. The more pronounced this contrast is, the more noticeable a person’s baldness can be.

For example, people with similar hair and skin colors (e.g. dark skin and dark hair or light skin and light hair) can often have a less “obvious” baldness than people with high contrast. This means that they are suitable candidates for hair transplantation because they are more similar.

Among suitable candidates for hair transplantation, those with dark hair can often achieve better results. Dark hair reduces the contrast of the transplanted grafts, providing a natural look.

2. Hair Shape Criteria

If your hair is wavy or curly, it will take up more volume and reduce the sparse appearance of your scalp. For example, black hair often has a denser appearance because it has these characteristics.

One reason why hair is naturally curly is that black people live in hot climates and have developed these traits through evolutionary adaptation to protect their scalp.

3. Thickness of the hair shaft 

In hair loss, one of the most critical factors determining the aesthetic appearance is the thickness of the hair shaft, and this feature significantly affects the results of hair transplantation.

Individuals with thick hair usually have more satisfactory results than those with thin hair, even if the same amount of hair follicles are transplanted. This is related to the fact that thick hair can absorb more light reflected from the scalp and therefore the appearance of “baldness” is less noticeable.

Because thick hair absorbs and reduces the light reflected from the scalp, the “baldness” becomes less obvious despite the same number of hair follicles. On the other hand, the opposite is the case with fine hair.

Since the light reflected from the scalp stands out more easily in fine hair, the appearance of “baldness” can be more pronounced with the same number of hair follicles.

4. Scalp Elasticity

Generally, hair transplantation can be performed more effectively in the follicles of individuals with scalp elasticity, which can increase the success of hair transplantation.

In addition, individuals who exercise regularly, maintain their ideal weight, have low stress levels and healthy eating habits are generally observed to have a stronger immune system. This may contribute to a shorter recovery period and a lower risk of infection.

 

Who Cannot Have a Hair Transplant?

Hair transplantation is not suitable for individuals with congenital baldness because they do not have hair stem cells. Generally, prosthetic hair is recommended for these people.

Various examinations are performed before hair transplant surgery. This operation is not suitable for people with serious health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, liver failure, kidney failure.Hair transplantation is not recommended for people with conditions such as blood pressure and diabetes (diabetes).

Almost everyone who is in good health, has sufficient donor area and is in good general health is a suitable candidate for hair transplantation. In addition, individuals who exercise regularly, maintain their ideal weight, have low stress levels and healthy eating habits are generally observed to have a stronger immune system. This allows them to have a shorter recovery period after hair transplantation and a lower risk of infection.
