After a FUE Hair Transplant treatment you’ll be able to see your new hair line immediately, but it will take a little while longer for you to reap the benefits of your final results. Everyone’s hair is different, meaning the exact process you’ll go through to see your results, will vary massively from everyone else.
To understand how your hair might grow after a FUE hair transplant, you need to first of all understand your hair growth cycle and how, exactly, each strand grows.
A hair’s active growth period is known as the anagen phase. This is where cells in the follicle’s bulb (the place where growth occurs) rapidly divide, causing the hair to grow an average of 1cm every four weeks. When your hair is healthy and not experiencing thinning, 90% of it will be in this phase at any one time where it will remain for around 2-7 years.
After its active growth period, hair will then enter the catagen phase (a transitional period where growth begins to stop), followed by the telogen phase in which your hair is released and falls out. Hair loss and thinning occurs when this cycle is disrupted, meaning hairs spend less time in the anagen phase.
Will my hair growth cycle change after a hair transplant?
After a Hair Transplant, your hair will continue this exact cycle – meaning it will grow at the same rate it did prior to being transplanted. Most patients will find they shed some of the newly transplanted hairs a few weeks after treatment, which is completely normal and nothing to worry about. This is usually due to the follicle being starved of its blood supply for a brief period. The follicle and graft will still be intact, and most patients tend to notice new hair growing around 3-4 months after any loss has occurred.
Your new hair line will be visible immediately, but the final results won’t be visible until the hair has regrown fully a few months after treatment.
