Hair transplant at 6 months

Two weeks after hair transplant

During the first 15 daysIt's normal for the scalp to become red, with small scabs and some sensitivity. Shock Loss also often occurs, a phenomenon in which implanted hair, and sometimes native hair as well, falls out. 

During these first few weeks, it is crucial to strictly follow the doctor's instructions regarding washing and caring for the recipient and donor areas. 

Results after the first month of hair transplantation

On first month after hair transplantThe implanted hair falls out more rapidly due to the aforementioned Shock Loss. Visually, the recipient area may appear the same as before surgery, but internally, the follicle remains in a resting phase, which will begin to activate in the coming months.

Evolution of hair transplant month by month up to 6 months 

What should the condition of the hair graft be like at 6 months?

It is at sixth month when a significant change is already noticeable. However, we're still halfway through the process, with room for improvement. Typically, new hairs can already be seen, although they may be fine. 

Final results: the first year of hair transplantation is completed

After a year, the patient can already appreciate the final results from your hair transplant, although the crown usually lasts up to 18 months. The hair now has good thickness, density, and a natural appearance. The texture of the new hair is stabilized and blends perfectly with the native hair.

Next steps: hair treatments

Although hair transplantation offers an effective solution, it doesn't mean that the alopecia has disappeared permanently. We must understand alopecia as a chronic disease that has no cure but does have treatment. This is why we must continue this medical treatment until we want to keep our hair. Therefore, to maintain the results and prevent further loss of non-transplanted hair, it is necessary to supplement with personalized hair treatments.
