A hair transplant is a delicate and precise operation and must be handled by experts in the field. When you consider the removal and re-implantation of your finite donor reserve to the recipient area, it’s a process which must be delivered with extreme care and precision so not to waste precious follicles. The days and weeks following your surgery are very important also for healing and recovery, which can have a large impact on the outcome of your hair transplant procedure.

Once the procedure is complete, and the initial healing and recovery stages are over, it can take upto 3 – 4 months before your follicles start growing again. Your new hair growth is usually coarse, wiry and wispy at first and might look a little uneven, but you will soon be growing fuller and thicker hair back in the months following the initial shed phase following your hair transplant procedure.

Most patients reach full hair growth around the 12 month mark following their procedure, though every patient’s recovery time is different as each person’s physiology differs with recovery and the regrowth timeline.

Here on Harley Street, our dedicated medical team are always available for any questions you may have, and will advise and support you throughout the entire journey. Come six-months post op we will contact you to see how your new growth is progressing, and again at the twelve-month post-op stage, by which your hair should be reaching full growth before the hair maturation stage. We will invite you for one final hair transplant check-up to see how you have progressed. This will involve checking your hair transplant growth, the condition of your native non transplanted hair and your reserve donor hair to assess the overall end result.

At our Harley Street hair transplant clinic, you will personally consult with one of our GMC registered hair transplant surgeons to discuss the options available. Only a registered hair transplant surgeon can assess and advise which is the most suitable hair restorative option, given your unique case of hair loss. This will include long term planning and the correct management of your available donor hair which is not infinite.
