Hair Transplant in Islamabad: An Overview:
Hair transplant in Islamabad is a surgical procedure for hair restoration in which hair follicles are taken from the donor area and then transplanted onto the recipient area where an individual has a thin area or bald patch.
At Royal Cosmetic Surgery, three advanced kinds of hair transplant surgery techniques, ie, FUE(follicular unit extraction, FUT(follicular unit transplantation), and DHI(direct hair implantation), are used for safe and effective hair regrowth.
How Soon Can You See Hair Growth After a Hair Transplant?
After getting hair transplant surgery, the initial hair growth will be visible after a wait of at least 3 to 4 months but that hair will be patchy, thin and wispy and they will shed in shock loss phase but dont worry, after thT you hair will grow more and reach the stage of full maturity and you will see full growth at 12 to 18 month of the surgery.
Timeline of Hair Growth After a Hair Transplant:
Month 1:
Healing: The initial 1-2 weeks involve the healing process, there are small scabs and some redness on the scalp.
Shedding: In one month, the transplanted hair shafts will fall out almost completely. This is referred to as shock loss, and this can be frightening, but it is a normal process. The follicular units will stay safely attached to the scalp and will start growing again later.
Months 2–3:
The follicles that were transplanted go into the resting phase. Your head will probably look the way it did prior to the operation, but the follicles are healthy and are in the next stage of growth.
Patients may start noticing fine and sparse hairs around the end of the phase.
Months 4–6:
This is the time when the hair starts growing in the real sense, as new hair starts to sprout. The initial hairs are either thin, fine, or even curly. A great increase in hair density and coverage is felt at this phase.
Months 6–9:
The greatest and most pronounced growth happens during this stage. The new hairs keep on growing, becoming thick and gaining texture to appear more natural.
Months 10–12:
The hair further grows and covers up the donated parts. To the majority of individuals, the ultimate outcomes can be seen after about one year.
Now the new hair must look like a continuation of your existing hair.
12–18 months:
In certain patients, particularly when they underwent transplant in the crown region, the process of hair growth can go on for 18 months after the procedure.
Factors That Affect Hair Growth Speed:
The rate of hair growth following transplant is influenced by your age, genetics, general health, nutrition, and lifestyle. It is important to follow your specific guidelines of post-operative care and have a healthy scalp. Others are the nature of the transplant, the quality of sleep, hormonal balance, as well as heat or environmental damage.
How to Speed Up Recovery and Hair Regrowth:
Here are some instructions that can help in a smooth and faster recovery:
- Don’t touch, scratch, or rub the grafts.
- Sleep with your head elevated.
- Avoid hats for 7–10 days.
