The success rate for hair transplants is generally high, with survival rates of 90% to 95% for transplanted hair follicles. However, this depends on factors like the quality of the donor hair, the technique used, and post-procedure care.
Typically, patients begin to see hair growth within 3 to 4 months, with full results visible around 9 to 12 months post-procedure. Initial shedding of transplanted hair is common within the first few weeks.
Yes, the transplanted hair follicles are resistant to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which is the hormone responsible for pattern baldness. This means that the transplanted hair should continue to grow for the long term.
While there’s no strict age limit, the ideal candidates are those over 25 years old when hair loss patterns have stabilized. Younger individuals may not be good candidates, as they may continue to lose hair after the procedure, affecting the transplanted area.
Recovery time is typically 1 to 2 weeks. Most people can return to work within a few days, but they may experience mild swelling, redness, or scabbing. Full recovery, including hair growth, takes 6 to 12 months.
After a hair transplant, proper aftercare is critical to ensure the success of the procedure and the survival of the transplanted follicles. Immediately following surgery, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or scabbing on the scalp, which typically subsides within a few days.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy uses your own blood to stimulate hair growth by injecting concentrated platelets into the scalp, promoting follicle. regeneration. Minoxidil is a topical treatment that helps slow hair loss and encourages regrowth by increasing blood flow to hair follicles.
Before your hair transplant procedure, it’s important to follow the pre-operative instructions provided by the surgeon, such as discontinuing certain medications (like blood thinners) and avoiding alcohol for at least a week prior to surgery. During your consultation, be sure to discuss your hair loss pattern, desired results, and any underlying medical conditions.
Thickness of the graft: Full-thickness grafts take longer to vascularize but provide better outcomes for functional areas.
Recipient bed condition: Healthy, well-vascularized tissue promotes graft integration.
Moisture and oxygen levels: Essential for graft adherence and healing.
Possible risks include infection, scarring, graft rejection (for skin transplants), and temporary swelling or discomfort. Choosing a qualified surgeon minimizes these risks.
