Patience is essential when waiting for results after a hair transplant. The newly transplanted hair typically goes through a few stages, beginning with an initial shedding phase that lasts up to a month after surgery. This is followed by a dormant period, where there is little visible growth as the follicles establish themselves in their new location.
Around the three-month mark, new hair should start to emerge, although the growth may be slow and thin at first. By six months, most patients see significant changes, with thicker and more consistent growth in the transplanted areas. However, it can take up to 12-18 months for the final results to become fully visible, as the hair continues to mature, becoming denser and more natural-looking. This timeline varies from person to person, and the final results are influenced by factors such as hair type, the individual’s health, and adherence to post-operative care guidelines.
