HEALING PROCESS AFTER OPERATIONAL HAIR TRANSPLANT

At the end of the operational hair transplantation process, the transplanted hair falls out within the first month. Hair loss in this process occurs in such a way that the hair follicles remain inside. Hair is shed only once and temporarily. This hair loss is also called breakage. After 3-4 months, the planted roots begin to emerge. Due to hair regrowth, itching or acne occurs on the scalp. The hair follicles in the transplanted area complete their growth by 50% after 5-6 months. During the 1 year period after hair transplantation, the hair grows out completely. These processes vary from person to person. The person’s diet, hair structure and psychological state are among the factors affecting these processes.
