Do I have a shock loss in my donor area after a FUE? (Photos)

4 weeks after hair transplant it’s normal for the hair to appear thin. This will take time to resolve but does appear to be some shock loss and healing to the donor region

You may be seeing shock loss and/or donor depletion.  It may take 6 to 12 months to see if the area may recover.

Post op shock loss can occur with hair transplant. To minimize it finasteride and topical minoxidil can be used.

This is most likely shock loss unless you underwent a mega-session of 3000+ grafts and the area was overharvested. PRP treatments can help to stimulate re-growth in these areas when it is shock loss. 

The question I ask is: Is this shock loss or donor site depletion.  How many grafts have you had?  If the number of grafts were less than 3000, it is likely that it is shock loss but you will not know this for 8 months from the date of the surgery when the shock loss phenomenon should reverse.  If this does not reverse, the only treatment for this that is effective is Scalp Micropigmentation which, although it is not hair, will make the donor area look normal.
