Young Men of 18 Can Suffer From Hair Loss! It Is All Down to the Genes

Young Men of 18 Can Suffer From Hair Loss! It Is All Down to the Genes

It’s a sad fact of life that losing hair can happen to any man. Believe it or not, at any age! Men as young as 18 – yes, EIGHTEEN! – can start to suffer from hair loss. It is all a question of genetics. Your genes can mean hair loss at as young as 18.Unfortunately, if that’s the way you are, then that’s the way you are. You can’t change that, whether you are 18 or 80. Although, to be fair most men of 80 are really not that bothered. It’s a bit late to be trying to impress the girls!

But at 18 – or 30, 40, 50 or more – you can do something about it, often by way of a hair transplant. Let’s face it: at 18 you are just setting out in life, and you want to take it on with a full head of hair. Many young men come to San Francisco to “make their fortune,” often in the Tech industry. But they want to stay young, and stay good-looking. They turn to technology and are delighted to learn about modern hair loss remedies, including hair transplantation.

Fortunately, at Silicon Valley Hair Institute we provide hair restoration for young men as well as older ones. But if you are young, the sooner you come and talk to our doctor, the better. The earlier you are aware of hair loss, the quicker something can be done to mitigate it.

The first thing to do is to have a hair dermoscopy. This is a procedure that uses high-definition video and photographic images in order to visualize the hair and scalp, and it is essential in order to diagnose the reason for your hair loss. Not all hair loss issues are the same. Once we know the problem, then we can decide on the most appropriate hair restoration for young men, and for that matter, men of any age.

Other Possibilities

It could be that the best answer is hair transplant, but there are other possibilities, such as micropigmentation. This is an exciting new procedure whereby a pigment is inserted just below the skin surface which will give an illusion of hair that is closely cropped, which, after all, is very much on trend at the moment.

Another type of hair restoration for young men is medical treatment. This can consist of oral medications. It could also be the use of micro-needling techniques which can deliver medications directly into the scalp and which will promote the growth of hair.

Another possibility is the use of follicular unit transplantation which transplants hair from the rear of the scalp to the areas of thinning or balding hair. It can be carried out by our surgeon manually or it can be done using a robotic transplant. Yes, we have a robot that can transplant your hair!

The first thing to do is to make an appointment to see our Dr. Miguel Canales for a consultation so that he can sasses your condition and provide the right solution. The appointment is free and can be carried out either in person in our Foster City office or online whichever you prefer.
