What are the main types of hair transplants?
The two main techniques are Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit
Extraction (FUE). FUT involves removing a strip of scalp and dissecting it into grafts, while FUE
involves individually extracting hair follicles and transplanting them.
What is the recovery time after a hair transplant?
Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days. Initial swelling, redness,
and scabbing may occur but usually subside within 1 to 2 weeks. Full recovery and the final results can
take several months.
How long does it take to see results from a hair transplant?
Hair growth typically starts within 3 to 4 months, with significant results usually visible
around 6 to 12 months. Full results may take up to 18 months.
Are there any pre- or post-procedure instructions I should follow?
Yes, pre-procedure instructions might include avoiding certain medications or alcohol.
Post-procedure care usually involves avoiding strenuous activities, following specific scalp care
guidelines, and attending follow-up appointments. Always follow your surgeon’s specific
recommendations.
