Transplanted hair begins to grow a few days after the procedure. Approximately 3-4 weeks after the transplant, the physiological process of renewal and stress-induced hair loss, known as "shock loss", begins.
New hair from transplanted follicles begins to grow after a "rest period" no earlier than 2-5 months after transplantation. Hair growth will continue just as it did before the transplant, and the process will progress naturally over time.
After about 8-12 months, all the hair in the transplanted follicles will be completely replaced and regrown, and you will be able to see the final result of your transplant. It is only allowed to cut hair in the transplant area with scissors for up to 6 months.
