Have you just had a hair transplant or are you about to take that step? If so, you may have wondered about hair growth after transplantation because the day you see yourself reflected in the mirror with thick, healthy hair will be a day marked with a happy face on the calendar. But until then, it is important to understand that after the transplant, the hair growth process is gradual but full of small victories. Find out what to expect in this month-by-month hair growth guide!
Although each person has their own pace and unique characteristics that influence post-transplant hair growth, there are some factors that also contribute to this evolution:
When performed correctly, both FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) guarantee natural and progressive hair growth after transplantation. However, FUE, by extracting follicles individually, is less invasive, leaves no linear scar, and allows for faster recovery, whereas FUT can be more uncomfortable in the postoperative period and leave a linear scar.
The evolution of hair growth after transplantation also depends on the donor area: if it has a good density of healthy follicles, it allows for the extraction of more robust grafts with a higher survival rate.
The first few days are crucial for hair growth after transplantation, so medical instructions must be followed correctly: wash your head as recommended, avoid scratching, protect from the sun, and do not engage in physical exertion.
Each patient has their own pace, and genetics influence not only the speed of hair growth after implantation but also the texture and thickness of the new strands.
A diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins, good hydration, and stress management are habits that directly benefit hair growth after transplantation, creating the ideal environment for follicles to develop.
A healthy scalp (without dermatitis, excess oiliness, or inflammation) promotes graft fixation and post-transplant hair growth. After surgery, keeping the scalp clean, moisturized, and free from external aggressions is also essential for hair growth after transplantation.
