Following Your DHI Transplant
In general the healing process with the FUE technique is extremely fast and problem-free. Little scabs tend to disappear after 5 – 6 days. In the first 15 – 21 days you will notice a sudden loss of hair but don’t worry this is perfectly normal and all part of the process. Hair transplantation is a process that takes a little time and patience. The newly implanted hairs will need a little time to adjust and take form. After this sudden hair loss, it will take the new hairs about 3 months to start growing. After a period of about 6 months, most of the hairs will have started growing.
The final result will be apparent after approx 12 - 18 months have passed but please bear in mind that the final appearance is as much the result of a successful procedure as it is the success of the post-operative care taken by the patient. Reducing the amount you smoke, eating a healthy diet, avoiding the use of commercial shampoos, and the taking of vitamin complexes and products that nourish your hair will together help with the recovery and successful growth of your new hair. It is important to note that cases where the patient ends up dissatisfied with the final result are often the cases where the patient has failed to provide adequate post-operative care following a successful hair transplant. As with all aesthetic procedures, post-operative care is key to achieving the best possible results. During which time, the patient must also take every precaution to guard his/her scalp against any outside traumas.
