Answer: NeoGraft Thank you for another question, Mundhir. That is normal. The transplanted hair must shed before regrowth occurs. I suggest you consult with the board certified facial plastic surgeon who performed your operation for further recovery detail.Best wishes,

Answer: When should the hair fall out of the grafts following a FUE hair transplant. Under normal circumstances, the hair in the grafts following a hair transplant will fall out. This process begins approximately 2 to 3 weeks after the transplant. The reason is quite simple. Following transplantation, the hair follicles move from the deeper adipose tissue or fat to a junction between the adipose and the dermis. Put in simple terms, the bulbs move toward the surface of the skin. At this point, the hair follicles will remain dormant for three to twelve months before resuming growth and moving in into the deeper layers of the skin or fat at the same time. In rare instances, the hair follicles will stay in the growing phase following hair transplantation, but this is exceedingly uncommon. In your case, the most likely scenario is that you have hair follicles that are in the dormant phase, but they did not fall out. This would not be a good thing. If the hair is continuing to grow, the hair will become longer each day and it would be close to 1/2 inch or 1.25 cm after one month. If the hair is not getting longer, it is dormant and the hair follicles should be removed from the scalp to avoid a foreign body reaction much like when you get a splinter in your finger. Try pinching a few hairs between your thumb and index finger and see if the hair follicles come out easily like removing a pin from soft butter. Don't pull so hard that you would pluck a hair. If hairs come out easily and they look like tiny "Js" (we call them J hairs), then you have dormant hair follicles. Either way, I would return to see your physician and have him check to see if you have dormant hair follicles. He an easily remove them with tweezers. Removal will help prevent you from getting cysts or pimples later on. with regard to your second question, after 25 days, your grafts are solidly in and you have nothing to worry about. Take a fine tooth comb, lay it flat on the scalp, and lift the scabs off. If you wet the hair first, the hair will likely come out more easily. Your doctor can do this for you too if you are nervous. You may see some hair follicles attached to the scabs and they will likely have a characteristic J appearance. If the scabs do not come off easily with this comb method, have your physician check you.

Answer: Scabs and shock loss after hair transplant First of all, there is a possibility - due to operation stress - that a number of hair will fall out in the post-operation phase. This generally temporary occurrence is known as "shock loss", and may last just a few weeks or possibly months. In certain cases, donor hair and neighbouring hair may fall out after a hair transplant (for instance when dense packing has been performed). This should not worry patients, as the hair generally regrows once the shock loss period has ended. Moreover, the cell responsible for regrowth remains in the scalp even though the grafted hair falls. Second of all, scabs usually appear after a hair transplant, this is normal. You just need to make sure that both the recipient and the donor areas are as clean as possible during the postoperative period so that regrowth can be optimal. So this is very important to scrub the scabs during the shampoo. Pay attention to use your fingertips, not your nails. You can also apply sweet almond oil in order to soften the scabs.

Answer: Scabs after procedure You can take the following steps:1. Apply an organic shampoo, massage into the scalp. Apply an organic conditioner ON TOP of the shampoo and massage that as well. Allow the solution to sit on the scalp for 10 minutes while in the shower and then begin rinsing off the solution with light to moderate pressure. Scabs will come off, and some of your own hairs will also fall out. This is normal and happens with most hair transplant procedures. The grafts should begin growing again around the 3rd month after your procedure and the results then depend on the number of grafts you had and how well your procedure was carried out.
