The condition called “shock hair loss” after hair transplantation worries many people. Shock shedding refers to the partial loss of newly transplanted hair and is actually a temporary process. In this article, we will discuss shock loss after hair transplantation in detail, focusing on the causes, process and when it occurs. Now, let’s take a closer look at this important issue after hair transplantation.
Shock hair loss is a temporary condition encountered after hair transplantation. After the operation, hair follicles fall out after a while in the area where they are transplanted. This shedding means that the hair follicles go into a resting phase and make room for new hair growth. It usually occurs in the first few weeks after hair transplantation and prepares the ground for new, permanent hair growth as part of post-treatment hair growth. Therefore, shock hair loss is actually a sign of a positive development and should be waited patiently.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to completely prevent shock hair loss after hair transplantation, as this is usually part of a natural healing process. It is a reaction that occurs after the operation as the hair follicles adapt to their new location and enter the resting phase. Therefore, it would be more appropriate to focus on managing this process rather than completely preventing shock loss after hair transplantation.
Here are some things you can do to alleviate or better manage shock loss after hair transplantation:
Follow your doctor’s recommendations carefully in the post-operative period. Following the care instructions after hair transplantation is important in managing the shock loss process.
After the operation, take regular hair and skin care as recommended by your doctor. This can help the hair follicles to enter a healthy healing process.
Avoiding stress and doing relaxing activities can positively affect recovery after hair transplantation.
A healthy diet, adequate sleep and exercise can contribute to the healing of hair follicles and control the hair loss process.
Contact your doctor in case of any concerns or symptoms after the operation. Professional guidance will help you manage this process more effectively.
Shock hair loss after hair transplantation is usually seen in the first 1-6 weeks after the operation. This loss is part of the adaptation process of the transplanted hair follicles and allows the hair follicles to go into a resting phase and shed the old hair.
Hair regrowth starts after the shock hair loss. Firstly, the hair follicles leave the resting phase and enter the active growth phase. New hairs usually start to appear within 2-3 months after the operation. However, this period may vary from person to person; in some people, new hair growth may take up to 6 months.
The full hair regrowth process can vary between 1 year and 18 months. During this time, your hair becomes increasingly thicker and more permanent. In other words, it requires some patience for your hair to fully grow and reach the desired appearance after shock hair loss. It is important to follow the natural course of the process to see the expected results after the hair transplant operation, and acting in accordance with your doctor’s recommendations supports this process.
