Is a Hair Transplant Right for You?
If you’re struggling with hair loss, you’re not alone. Millions of men and women experience thinning hair, receding hairlines, and bald patches, leading to a loss of confidence. The good news? A hair transplant can be a life-changing solution. The question is—when is the right time for one? What should you expect? And how do you choose the right surgeon? Let’s break it all down.
When is the right time for a Temporal Point Hair Transplant?
Timing is everything when it comes to hair transplants. The “temporal point” refers to the triangle of hair that is responsible for framing the face. Occasionally, this area may experience loss or thinning due age, illnesses, or other reasons, impacting one’s confidence. While hair transplants yield the most long-lasting results, several factors dictate when it is the right time to get a hair transplant and if it’s the best thing for you.
- Stage of Hair Loss: If your hair is still actively shedding, it may be too soon. A consultation with a specialist can determine whether you’re a good candidate.
- Age Matters: While hair transplants work at almost any age, those under 25 might need to wait until their hair loss pattern stabilizes.
- Overall Health: A healthy scalp and good circulation contribute to successful grafting.
- Realistic Expectations: Understanding that full results take time (usually 12–18 months) will help you stay patient.
Types of Hair Transplants: Which One Is Right for You?
Dr. Ted Miln specializes in two primary techniques:
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
- Minimally invasive
- Leaves no linear scar
- Faster healing time
- Ideal for those who wear short hairstyles
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT/Strip Surgery)
- In some cases best for advanced hair loss
- Leaves a linear scar (easily hidden with longer hair)
Dr. Ted can also combine both techniques for maximum graft yield, ensuring the best possible outcome.
