Answer: Will vellus hair turn into terminal hair 17 months post op? It is highly unlikely that a vellus hair will turn into a terminal hair 17 months after a procedure. While you may see an occasional hair grow 18 months after a procedure, most of the hair will grow by 8 to 12 months. It is exceedingly uncommon to see new hair growth after 18 months. The good news is that with sonicated PRP we are seeing up to 80% growth from the grafts at 3 1/2 months.

Answer: Villus hair growth 17 months after a hair transplant onyx54,Wish that you provided high resolution before and after pictures. Hair transplants take time to grow out. Sturdies and personal experience show that most growth takes place between 4-12 months post surgery but there can be some further maturation with thickening of results between 12-18 months post hair transplant.All the best, Bernardino A.
