Had 2,400 grafts in Oct to crown, temples and forelock. Healing exceptionally well: most grafts did not shed, recipient area redness is gone, donor area was undetectable within 10 days. At 1 month follow-up, surgeon stated I was healing better than anyone he had seen. Had 3 month today and he said the same. Have had acne in the recipient areas. Haven't noticed much in the way of growth yet. The grafts that did not shed grew slightly in the first month, but not since. Should I be concerned?

Answer: ARTAS hair growth Patience is the key here. Hair growth after an Artas or any other procedure takes some time. The key here is that you are transferring hairs from one area to another which can cause hair grafts to undergo a shift in phase from anagen (growth) to telogen (shedding) phase. For most patients this process will take between month 3 and month 12. We try to minimize the shedding process by using a combination of hair transplantation technology with regenerative medicine to help decrease the shedding phase.

Answer: 3 months post-transplant At 3 months post-transplant, regardless of the harvesting technique used, patients will not be seeing the results. It takes 6 months to begin to see the results, and a full 12 months to really assess the results of the transplant. Over this period of time, the hairs mature by growing longer and more robust.

Answer: Growth after ARTAS procedure db70,Most of the growth after a hair transplant procedure occurs between 4-8 months. The growth continues to the 12 month mark, however, studies have shown that there is still further thickening of the hair transplant beyond the 12 month mark.
