Time Needed for Hair Transplant Results, and How to Limit Shock Loss and Stop Future Hair Loss

A gentleman had 2000-3500 hairs transplanted. However, they started to fall out 5-10 days post surgery. He wants to know if it is normal that the hairs are falling out this early.

Dr. Amiya Prasad, a hair specialist, explains that a hair transplant is the movement of an entire hair follicle into a small slit. The skin and tissue heals well enough the majority of the time, and the dermal papilla, the part of the hair necessary for growth, can remain intact even if the grafts continues to fall-out. The general term used for grafts falling out during the early post-operative period is shock loss. Shock loss happens to both the grafts as well as the adjacent hairs that are subjected to the swelling and trauma of the actual procedure.

As a specialist in hair loss treatment, he has been in a remarkable leadership position with a technology he developed called Hair Regeneration. He has been doing transplants with materials extracellular matrix and platelet-rich plasma that show significant improvement in the rate of shock loss to make the difficult transition period a little easier. Even with advanced healing technology, the patient can still have a certain period where the existing hairs can look a little thinner, the grafts are not growing and aren't seen anymore. Somewhere in the early 4-6 month period, one wonders if they lost all the grafts. Fortunately, the hair is remarkably resilient. This is clearly demonstrated from the field of laser hair removal where people come for multiple laser hair treatments to suppress hair growth for a long period of time. Also, several studies have demonstrated that the hairs that are transplanted, even if the dermal papilla or the base is not intact, the middle part of the hairs or the hair shaft can still grow.

Dr. Prasad noticed in his photos the level of his receding frontal hairline. He may want to discuss with his doctor the use of some type of oral medications such as finasteride. In Dr. Prasad's practice, many people come to him for Hair Regeneration treatment which is a non-surgical injection that helps reverse the thinning process of hair. This is through a method that restores critical stem cells as part of a wound healing mechanism that stops the thinning process. Many people who had a transplant and would try to avoid a second transplant actually benefit from this because it keeps the hairs.

In other hair transplants, a surgeon restores hair to keep the appearance of hairs in areas which are actively healing. So a person who wants to get one transplant will need a second transplant, a third or even a fourth depending on how much donor area they have. Unfortunately, there's a limit of how much donor area a person has. Fortunately, the Hair Regeneration has been able to balance out hair transplant very well so that it improves the transplant procedure and also prevents the progression of hair loss, thicken hair and reverse thinning hair.

At this point, this gentleman just has to wait this out. He has to follow-up with his doctor and the final results are somewhere in a year to 15 months. There is a lot of variability between the hair growth cycles of individuals. Some people's hair grows faster while others slower. Ultimately, at the one year point, a person is close to a 90% zone of recovery. There are also people in 15 months, a combination of shock loss where there are grafts or the native hairs eventually synchronizes to the point where the growth and density match to give the person a better sense of the final result.
