How Does a Hair Transplant Work? • Involves moving hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) to thinning or bald areas • Two main techniques: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) • FUE is preferred today — minimal scarring and faster recovery Is a Hair Transplant Truly Permanent? • Yes — transplanted follicles are genetically resistant to DHT (the hormone causing baldness) • These follicles continue to grow for life in their new location • However, native (non-transplanted) hair may still thin over time without medical management How Long Until You See Full Results? • Months 1–3: Transplanted hair sheds (normal — called shock loss) • Months 4–6: New hair starts growing from the transplanted follicles • Months 9–12: Full, natural-looking growth visible • Final results assessed at 12–18 months
