When can I expect results after DHI method? 10 weeks post-op.

Question

Hello I’m 10 weeks post op and I can’t see any news hairs yet. When should they start showing? I had the DHI method for a more dense look and was hoping for faster results. Thanks

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

First regrowth should be observed on 3-3.5 months. Regrowing hair is thin, undersized and not bright untill 4-5 th months of hair transplant. İt's normal for new growing hair starting to get native characteristics, waviness, curl in first 4-5 months..This actually takes 10-13 months for hair to become full mature , as thick and bright as native hair. DHI is just a marketing gimmick.When you look at the web site of ISHRS (international society of hair restoration surgery ) you will see just 2 tech for HT: FUT and FUE..What makes difference on result of hair restoration is surgeon's credentials , experience level and accuracy of used FUE technique.
