It is completely normal to have the grafts shed after a hair transplant. It is part of the healing process and natural hair growth. Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles are taken from a donor area on the scalp (usually at the back or sides of the head) and are then transplanted into bald or sparse areas. After transplantation, the hair follicles enter a temporary resting phase, which can cause the grafts to fall out within two weeks after surgery. This phenomenon is known as “graft fall.” After the initial loss of the grafts, new hairs will start to grow. progressively from the transplanted follicles. This new hair should start to be visible over the next few months, and will continue to grow over time. It is important to follow the doctor's instructions for post-operative care to promote healing and hair regrowth. If you have concerns about hair transplantation, it is best to discuss them with your hair doctor to get information that is specific to your situation.
Hair transplanted during a hair transplant, whether harvested using the FUE technique (Follicular Unit Extraction) or another method, is generally considered permanent. Transplanted follicles are taken from areas of the scalp that are resistant to hair loss (usually the back and sides of the head) and implanted in bald or sparse areas, where they generally keep this resistance. Hair transplantation does not prevent future hair loss in untreated areas: if you have a genetic predisposition to baldness, other areas may thin over time. The quality of the grafts, the recipient area and post-transplant care are all taken into account in your project.
The appropriate age for a hair transplant depends on each situation. In general, it is best to wait until hair loss has reached a certain stage of stabilisation. In most cases, a transplant is considered from around 25 to 30 years of age, which makes it possible to observe how hair loss evolves and plan the transplant accordingly. In young adults, hair loss may still be ongoing. While waiting for it to stabilise, medical treatment options can be discussed to slow hair loss and support existing hair. Our medical team can assess your situation and advise you on the appropriate timing.
Returning to work: Most people can return to light activities, such as office work after hair transplantation. However, this may vary. If your work is more physical and requires intense movement, you may have to wait a little longer, usually a week.Resuming sport: Resuming intense sports activity may require more time than returning to work. Generally, it is recommended to wait at least 2 to 3 weeks before resuming sports activities that could result in excessive sweating, friction on the grafted area, or sudden movements. Your doctor will be able to give you specific advice based on your situation.
The pain associated with a FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant can vary from person to person, but overall the procedure is generally considered to be relatively painless. During the operation, the transplant takes place under local anesthesia. This means that you should not experience severe pain during the transplant itself. However, some people may experience a slight stinging or tingling sensation when anesthetics are given, but this goes away quickly. After the transplant, it is common to experience some sensitivity or discomfort in the treated area, but this is usually bearable with painkillers prescribed by the doctor.
The duration of a hair transplant may vary depending on the type of procedure used, the number of grafts to be transplanted, and other factors specific to each patient. In general, most hair transplants take several hours to complete. For the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique, which is one of the most common hair transplant methods, the duration depends on the number of grafts to be extracted and transplanted. A small hair transplant can take about 4 to 6 hours, while a larger transplant, such as a full hair transplant, can take up to 8 to 10 hours or even longer. The FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) technique, another less common hair transplant method, involves the removal of a strip of skin containing hair follicles from the donor area. The duration of this procedure is generally similar to that of FUE. It is important to note that hair transplantation is a delicate procedure that requires time to ensure accurate transplantation and satisfactory aesthetic results. The competence of the doctor and his team also plays a crucial role in the duration and quality of the transplant.
Modern techniques such as FUE allow hair follicles to be harvested and reimplanted precisely, following the direction, angle and density of the hair, in order to aim for a coherent and harmonious look. The quality of the donor area and post-operative care are among the factors taken into account. Your project is assessed and explained during the consultation, then supported by a 12-month follow-up.
