During This Stage Use the saline spray regularly to keep the scalp hydrated. Sleep with your head elevated at a 45\u00b0 angle. Do not touch, scratch, or rub the transplanted area. Avoid physical activity. Get plenty of rest. Normal Symptoms It is completely normal to experience: Mild redness Slight swelling Minor itching Tightness of the scalp These are natural signs that your body is healing. 03 \u00b7 Stage 2 of 7 Days 5\u20139: Early Recovery During this period, small scabs begin forming around each transplanted follicle. Care Instructions Begin washing your hair following your specialist&#8217;s instructions. Dilute the shampoo with lukewarm water before applying. Gently pour the water over your scalp instead of using direct water pressure. Pat your scalp dry using a soft towel. Never rub the transplanted area. Step-by-step instructions are in the hair washing guide below. 04 \u00b7 Stage 3 of 7 Days 10\u201314: Scab Removal Phase Around the second week, the scabs gradually begin to fall away. Important Notes Some transplanted hairs may shed. This is called Shock Loss and is completely normal. The hair follicles remain healthy beneath the skin. Continue using a gentle shampoo recommended by your medical team. Need Help During Your Recovery? Our medical team is always available to answer your questions and guide you through every step of the healing process. Chat With Our Team 05 \u00b7 Stage 4 of 7 Weeks 3\u201312: Resting Phase Many patients worry during this period because little visible progress occurs. In reality, your transplanted follicles are becoming firmly established beneath the skin. During this stage: Hair growth temporarily pauses. Mild dryness or itching may continue. The follicles are preparing for a new growth cycle. Patience is essential. 06 \u00b7 Stages 5\u20137 Stage 5 Months 4\u20136: New Hair Begins to Grow This is when patients begin noticing exciting changes. You may observe: Fine new hairs emerging. Gradual improvement in density. Stronger hair texture each month. A more natural appearance. Hair growth varies from patient to patient, but visible improvement becomes increasingly noticeable. Stage 6 Months 6\u20139: Significant Improvement Hair continues to mature and fill in the treated areas. During this stage, patients usually notice: Fuller hair coverage. Better overall density. Easier hair styling. Increased confidence. Stage 7 Months 10\u201312: Final Results Most patients achieve their final results between 10 and 12 months after surgery. By this stage: Hair reaches its maximum density. Texture becomes more natural. The transplanted hair can be cut, styled, and treated like your natural hair.
