New hair growth 5 weeks after FUE hair transplant treatment, is it existing or transplanted hair that is growing? (photo)

Franky89
I had a FUE treatment with 3000 grafts + one treatment of PRP focused on front&top. I was not bald, but had a general thining around front/top/crown. My own hair has grown to 1cm as of today and the transplanted ones were all shed after 2 weeks. However, now, after 6 weeks, I can see many small hair in between my 1cm hairs that are sprouting out. Are these the transplanted hairs? Or my own hair that for some reason had a slower growth then the others? Or hair reappearing due to PRP?
