What to Expect After Hair Transplant Surgery
After hair transplant surgery, it can take 2 to 3 months for your new hair follicles to settle in and begin growing new hair naturally. The following stages describe what to expect after hair transplant surgery:
Week 1
During the first week of hair transplant surgery, you may experience donor area pain, scalp tightness, and transplanted area numbness.
10-14 days
Your scalp may appear pink, and as the skin heals, all new hair will fall out. This is all part of the process, and the transplanted follicles will eventually develop new, healthy hair.
1-2 months
You may experience some hair loss in non-transplanted areas. This is normal because the hair follicles in these areas are entering their resting phase. The redness may still be visible, but it will eventually fade.
10 months
The natural hair growth phase begins 2-3 months after the procedure, but it is incomplete and uneven at this point. This is because each follicle will begin working at a different time.
Most follicles will begin to grow again within 5-8 months, and by month 10, you will have full, natural, and healthy hair growth.
Things to Avoid After Hair Transplant Procedure
In addition to the stages of hair growth following hair transplant surgery, it is critical to adhere to the restrictions prescribed by your doctor. These restrictions are designed to help you heal properly and achieve the best results.
Stop smoking and drinking
Smoking and alcohol can impair blood flow and cause healing to take longer. You should not smoke for several months prior to surgery and for four weeks following surgery. You should also avoid alcohol for a month before surgery and for 5 days after surgery.
Avoid excessive sweating
For at least one week following hair transplant surgery, you should avoid strenuous activity and activities that cause excessive sweating, such as going to a spa or sauna.
Avoid sun exposure
You should avoid direct sunlight, especially between 10 am and 2 pm, for two weeks after hair transplant surgery.
Delay hair dyeing.
You should wait at least four weeks before dyeing your hair, as the chemicals in hair dye can damage the transplanted follicles.
Avoid driving
You should avoid driving for at least 24 hours after hair transplant surgery due to the anesthesia.

Why Should You Choose DHI Hair Transplantation?
DHI hair transplantation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a special implant pen to insert hair follicles directly into the scalp. This procedure has several advantages over other hair transplant techniques, including:
-
Faster recovery time
DHI hair transplantation is a much less invasive procedure than other hair transplant techniques, which can lead to a faster recovery time. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities within a few days after surgery.
-
More natural-looking results
DHI hair transplantation allows for the placement of hair follicles in a more natural-looking pattern than other hair transplant techniques. This can help create a more smooth and undetectable hairline.
-
Lower risk of complications
DHI hair transplantation is a relatively safe procedure with a low risk of complications. The use of a special implant pen can help minimize trauma to the scalp and reduce the risk of infection.
