Immediate Recovery:
Hair transplantation is performed under local anesthesia. You will remain awake during the procedure, and there is no need for recovery from general anesthesia after the procedure is completed.
Hospital Stay:
There is no need to stay at the clinic after completing the FUE hair transplant procedure. You can leave the hair center once the medical team ensures you are not experiencing any side effects or complications.
Discharge Process:
After the medical team confirms that your condition is stable and you are ready to leave, the specialist will authorize your discharge on the same day of the procedure.
You will be provided with all necessary post-procedure medications — especially anti-inflammatories, pain relievers, and hair care products — along with detailed aftercare instructions.
Home Care Instructions:
At home, it’s important to follow the medical team's guidance, including:
Get adequate rest
Resume normal eating and daily activities gradually
Take all prescribed medications on time
Keep the scalp clean and avoid touching it
Avoid exposure to sunlight, rain, and dust
Do not go swimming until your doctor approves it
Follow-up Care:
You must attend follow-up appointments with the specialist to ensure the procedure is healing properly, monitor progress, and undergo PRP (plasma) sessions to support hair growth.
Long-term Care and Rehabilitation:
The specialist will provide detailed instructions to help you maintain results and ensure healthy hair growth. The stages of recovery and new hair appearance generally include:
First Month:
Redness and slight swelling may appear in the transplant area during the first two weeks. Around the third week, you may notice small scabs and shedding of new hair — this is normal. These symptoms typically resolve by the end of the fourth week, and the new hair cycle begins.
Second Third Months (Dormant Phase):
Minimal visible growth — about 5% by the end of the third month. Avoid using hair dryers, hair dye, and razors during this time.
Fourth to Sixth Months:
Approximately 30% of the transplanted hair begins to grow.
Seventh to Ninth Months:
Hair density increases with around 75% of the transplanted follicles producing visible hair.
Tenth to Twelfth Months:
Final results begin to take shape with around 95% of the hair visible and denser.
Up to 18 Months:
Full hair density and final results may continue to improve with proper care and regular follow-ups.
When to Seek Medical Attention:
Contact the specialist or visit the clinic immediately if you experience:
A growing lump on the scalp
Bleeding from the donor or recipient area
Worsening pain in the treated areas
Signs of infection (discharge, foul odor)
Persistent numbness that doesn’t gradually fade
