May 06, 2025

What to Expect After a Hair Transplant

You’ve had the procedure, now what? You have questions about the recovery process, and we’re here to give you the rundown.

  • Mild Pain and Swelling: Right after the transplant, you may feel some mild discomfort at the donor area. It should only last a few days, and painkillers will take care of it. There may also be some swelling on your forehead or face, but it’ll go down within a few days.

  • Temporary Shedding: One thing that often catches people off guard is that your transplanted hair will likely shed after a few weeks. But don’t panic! This is totally normal and part of the process. New hair will start growing in its place in about 3 to 4 months.

When Will You See Result of Hair Transplant?

Everyone’s hair grows differently, but here’s a general timeline to expect:

  • 4 Months: You’ll start seeing noticeable growth.

  • 6-9 Months: Your hair will thicken up and become much more visible.

  • 12 Months: This is when the full results come in: your hair will be thicker, denser, and look great.

Trust us, the boost in confidence is real! By the time you hit 12 months, you’ll look like a brand new person.

What to Avoid After Your Hair Transplant

Follow a few guidelines to make your recovery smooth. Here’s what to avoid:

  • No swimming for at least 14 days.

  • Avoid alcohol for the first 7 days.

  • Stay away from dusty areas for two weeks.

  • No sun exposure to your scalp for long periods.

  • Don’t touch or scratch the transplanted area.

  • Avoid intense exercise for at least a week.

I know it seems like a lot, but trust me these steps are necessary to help you heal properly and get the best results.

Post-transplant care is crucial for ensuring your hair grows back healthy and strong. Here’s how to take care of it:

  • First Week: Use the special cleaning solution we provide to clean your scalp. This will help you stay hygienic and promote healing.

  • After 7 Days: You can start gently washing your hair with a mild shampoo, just don’t scrub too hard!

  • Haircuts: You can start trimming your hair after about 3 months, but be careful with tight combing or harsh styling during the first few weeks.
