The transplanted hair generally sheds within the first 2-6 weeks after the procedure as it enters a dormant phase.
The hair begins to grow approximately 2-8 months later. The hair then grows at the normal rate of 1/2 inch each month.
The transition from thinning hair or baldness to greater fullness of hair is very gradual. It takes 10 to 12 months to see the full improvement as the hair continues to mature in terms of length as well as calibre.
