When Do Hair Transplant Results Begin to Show?

One of the most common questions individuals who undergo hair transplantation ask is when they will begin to see the results. Hair transplantation is not an immediate procedure; it requires patience and care. In this article, we will explain when the results of a hair transplant will start to appear.

First 3 Months

• Shock Loss: Around 2-3 weeks after the hair transplant, the transplanted hair starts to fall out. This is called shock loss and is temporary. There’s no need to panic!
• Strengthening of Hair Follicles: During the first 3 months, the hair follicles begin to strengthen, but no visible changes occur.

Between 3-6 Months

• New Hair Growth: From the 3rd month onward, the transplanted hair slowly begins to grow. During this period, the hair may be thin and weak but will thicken over time.
• Significant Results: By the 6th month, 50-60% of the hair transplant operation's results will have been achieved. You will start to notice your new hair.

Between 6-12 Months

• Full Results: By the 12th month, the transplanted hair will have fully grown and achieved a natural appearance. This process can vary from person to person, but generally, full results are obtained after 1 year.

Conclusion

Hair transplant results are not immediate. With patience and careful post-op care, you can achieve natural and lasting results within 6-12 months. At MAbel Hair Clinic, we are with you every step of the way!
