01.

Initial Shedding (1-3 Weeks) After the transplant, hair follicles may shed in the first 1-3 weeks, which is normal as the hair enters the resting phase.

02.

New Growth Begins (3-4 Months) New hair starts growing around 3-4 months post-surgery. It may appear fine and thin at first but gradually thickens.

03.

Hair Growth Phases (Anagen) Hair enters the active growth phase (anagen) around 3-4 months. This phase typically lasts 2-3 years for healthy hair growth.

04.

Noticeable Growth (6 Months) By 6 months, most people see significant improvements with thicker, fuller hair starting to appear.

05.

Fuller Results at 9-12 Months At 9-12 months, you should see most of the final hair density. Growth continues, and hair becomes more natural.

06.

Continued Improvement (12-18 Months) Some patients experience continued thickening and maturation of hair up to 18 months after the transplant.

Hair Growth Varies by Individual The speed of hair growth post-transplant varies depending on factors like age, genetics, and the quality of the procedure..

Donor Site Healing (1-2 Weeks) The donor area typically heals within 1-2 weeks, with minimal scarring visible once fully healed.
