How long does it take for hair to grow after a hair transplant?

For most patients who undergo hair transplant surgery, few people care about the surgery itself. What they are more concerned about is how long it will take for hair to grow again. In fact, recovery after hair transplant surgery is also very important. Recovery after surgery directly affects the postoperative effect. Under normal circumstances, the effect of hair transplantation may take half a year or a year, or even longer to see the effect. Therefore, friends who need hair transplantation must be mentally prepared.

How long does it take for hair to grow after hair transplantation?

Generally, hair will grow three months after hair transplantation. This is because hair transplantation is actually the transplantation of hair follicles. The transplanted hair follicles are extracted from their previous growth environment and will enter the shedding period prematurely due to external influences. The shedding period of hair follicles (that is, the normal shedding time) is generally two to three months, after which the hair follicles will stop shedding, establish a new blood circulation in the new environment, and begin to grow new hair from the inside of the hair follicles (this process is the process from the resting phase to the growth phase of the hair). Therefore, hair will basically grow three months after hair transplantation.

How long does it take for hair transplant to grow best?

Generally speaking, the best effect is achieved by growing hair one year after hair transplantation. This is because hair only starts to grow three months after hair transplantation. The hair enters the resting and growing phases and slowly shows the best results over a period of weeks. To put it in an analogy, it is just like a person's growth from childhood to middle age. Normally, significant improvement in hair growth can be seen 10 months after hair transplantation, and the hair reaches its best growth state after one year.

Hair growth process after hair transplantation

The third month after hair transplantation: Hair begins to grow, and the hair follicles enter the resting phase and the growing phase.

The fourth month after hair transplantation: The hair is quite fragile. At this time, the hair has just moved from the ugly duckling stage to the juvenile stage of growth.

Fifth month after hair transplantation: The color of the hair becomes darker because pigment cells begin to accumulate gradually.

Sixth month after hair transplantation: The hair becomes thin strands and the hair follicles try to restore the capillaries in the new environment and function.

Seventh month after hair transplantation: slightly fragile, blood circulation of hair follicles gradually takes effect.

Eighth month after hair transplantation: Hair color returns to normal, which is also the result of further accumulation of pigment cells.

Nine months after hair transplantation: The hair has become thicker, and most of the hair is growing well, which gives the feeling of thicker hair.

The tenth month after hair transplantation: the hair becomes thicker, which is the eve of the transformation of hair from ugly duckling to white swan.

The eleventh month after hair transplantation: the growth is getting better and better, gradually reaching the peak state of hair growth.

Twelve months after hair transplantation: fully recovered and in the best condition.

How long does it take for hair transplant to keep growing?

After the hair transplant operation, as long as the hair follicles are not damaged and die, the hair can be kept growing permanently. This is because the hair follicles have the ability to grow as long as their life, and grow new hair over and over again according to the law of the resting phase-growth phase-catagen phase. Therefore, as long as the hair transplant doctor operates properly and the hair transplant is successful (including ensuring the survival of the hair follicles), the effect of the hair transplant can be maintained permanently.

The level of hair transplant doctors is the key to ensuring the effectiveness of hair transplant

Many people who love beauty do not know that the doctor’s level and correct techniques determine the final effect of hair transplantation. Doctors must ensure that the hair follicles taken and transplanted are not damaged and have a high survival rate, and also ensure the safety of the original hair follicles in the hair removal and transplantation areas to avoid wasting hair follicle resources. Only in this way can the hair follicles grow good hair and the hair transplantation effect can be reflected.

Recommendation: As consumers, you must learn more when choosing a hair transplant doctor. It is best to choose an experienced professional hair transplant doctor. It is best to go to a regular hospital when undergoing hair transplantation, so as to ensure that the hair grown after the transplantation is of good quality.
