Are You a Good Candidate for a Hair Transplant? What Doctors Check First

from Above the Hairline · host Hair Restoration Institute of Minnesota

Not every hairline needs a transplant — sometimes it needs a diagnosis. Alec breaks down the real candidacy exam behind every HRIMN consultation: the four factors that determine a ‘yes,' the red flags that trigger a ‘not yet,' and why donor supply is the most important number nobody thinks to ask about. Plus: the promise of exosome therapy for hair restoration and the questions to ask a provider, and whether a certain kind of hair shedding is normal or a cause for concern.Blog: https://hrimn.com/blog-details/does-exosome-therapy-actually-work-for-hair-loss-what-the-evidence-showsQuestion, answered: https://hrimn.com/blog-details/shedding-after-starting-finasteride-post-transplant-normal-reset-or-red-flagHair by Air program: https://hrimn.com/hair-by-air-programBefore and after photos: https://hrimn.com/exosome-and-growth-factor-therapy
