In most patients, the newly transplanted hairs will fall out.

The new growth will commence within about 3 - 5 months but the hairs are thin, colorless, and wispy. The phases are often depressing and can leave you full of doubt as to whether or not the hair replacement procedure was a success.

Though the transplanted hair may very well start growing, but very few patients notice any visible change in the appearance of their hair at this early stage. Be patient! The result will come with time. The transplanted hair will then grow at the normal rate of about 1cm per month and continue to thicken over time.

Most of the new growth hair has at least started to grow and is well on its way to maturity. But hair thickening and darkening will continue for some time and will have a significant impact on the overall cosmetic result.
