When you hear the term "hair transplants," you may recall the uneven, obvious hair plugs of old. However, hair transplants have progressed significantly during the past decade. Hair transplantation, also known as hair restoration, is an outpatient treatment that uses micrografting technology to transfer your own hair follicles to thinning areas of your scalp.

The results of a hair transplant Dubai are noticeable and believed to be permanent. The operation is also time-consuming, requiring a period of healing and rehabilitation. Because of these variables, those who have already suffered severe thinning of their scalp hair are the best candidates for a hair transplant.

After transplanting hair follicles into thinning areas, your skin takes time to repair. In fact, it is common for part of your hair to fall out within the first three months after the treatment. Healing time can range between 6 and 12 months. However, once the healing process is complete, the transplanted follicles begin to produce hair, filling in the bald places on your scalp. This is the hair that will naturally grow as you age.

Hair follicles migrate permanently; they cannot return to their original location. The transplanted hair follicles, like all of your hair follicles, have a lifespan. They may eventually cease producing as much hair.

Hair transplantation is both a procedure and a process. It may take up to a year or 18 months for the transplanted hair from the donor area to grow, thicken, and mature. Four to six weeks after the transplant, the hair will fall out. After 3 to 5 months of hair restoration, we will securely remove the follicle and initiate the growth of new hair.

Hair Growth Timeline After a Hair Transplant

During this time, the patient will notice hair loss, which is a natural aspect of development and has been known to cause concern and stress. At this stage, we expect hair separation, and it's crucial to emphasize that the separation of the hair's sole structure, which includes the important root follicle, is safe and intact. Shedding will create a new, healthier hair structure. There will be no further major shifts between two weeks and a month.

The lost hair starts to grow, but it lacks power and cannot penetrate the scalp, resulting in folliculitis, a skin ailment. Some patients may misidentify folliculitis as an infection. If it is an infection, more inflammatory symptoms will appear and develop with time. Meanwhile, folliculitis and associated symptoms typically resolve within ten days.

Following a hair transplant, hair growth is easy. Within the first two weeks, the newly transplanted hair will begin to shed. However, this is not a cause for alarm. Regrowth develops around four months later and might lead to folliculitis. It will also disappear over time, with brittle, non-pigmented hair replacing it four months following surgery. Eight months following surgery, the hair started to grow and darken. In addition, the patient will notice the ultimate hair growth pattern after roughly eight months. Within a year, all substantial alterations should have halted, resulting in a full strand of hair.
