How long does it take for the recipient area hair to blend with native hair? (Photo)

fellowtrees90
I just had my procedure done one week ago. I think I got nearly all the scabs and crusts off. It is now still very noticeable and much darker on my implanted area. Was the procedure done properly? If so how long should I expect to wait before it blends and looks more natural? I understand I will have shock loss/shedding of the new hairs in the next 2-3 weeks as well.
