After an FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant, the timeline for seeing results can vary from person to person. However, here’s a general timeline of what you can expect:
Immediately after the procedure: The transplanted hair will be visible, but it is just the hair shafts, which will fall out within 2–3 weeks.
2–3 months: During this period, the transplanted hair will fall out, and you may notice little or no growth. This is normal and expected.
3–4 months: Around this time, the transplanted hair follicles will start to grow new hair. The growth may be thin and fine initially.
6 months: By this stage, you should notice significant growth of the transplanted hair. Around 50-60% of the new hair growth should be visible.
12 months: The full results of the hair transplant should be evident at this point. The transplanted hair will continue to grow and thicken, blending with your existing hair.
It’s important to note that the final results may take up to 18 months to be fully apparent. Additionally, factors such as age, health, and the quality of the transplanted follicles can influence the growth timeline. It’s crucial to follow post-operative care instructions and maintain communication with your surgeon throughout the recovery process.
