fares1992Jul 11, 2018
Hello i had a hair transplant 1 month ago and i was wondering how to speed up donor hair recovery. I took prp during the hair transplant session. Can someone direct me by which is the best thing to take after one month of hair transplant fue. Can i apply alovera gel, minoxidil or rosemery essential oils? Does applying minoxidil on the donor hair and stopping it after several month have any affect on the donor hair? Thanks

You may be one of the lucky few who do not shed. It is normal to shed or not to shed. If you are still worried, speak to your surgeon.

You should wait at least 10 months before your next procedure. You should speak with your surgeon and have him/her examine your donor area.

It takes 4-6 months for hair your hair transplanted to grow. At 8 months, 80% of the transplanted hairs should grow. By the 12 month mark, you should achieved full growth.
