The Hair Transplant Recovery Time
The healing of the wounds leads to the formation of scabs a few days after the hair restoration operation.
The redness of the treated areas is quite normal and disappears after a short time. The redness is caused by an increase in blood flow to the area after surgery, which is one of the normal side effects of this procedure.
By day 12 of the recovery period, your hair growth will become even, so that there is no longer a clear difference between the transplanted hair and the existing hair.
