The hair transplant recovery process is designed to be smooth and efficient, with noticeable milestones along the way.
In the days following your procedure, scabs naturally form as part of the healing process. This is completely normal and an essential step in protecting the transplanted areas. Mild redness in the treated areas is also common and fades quickly. The redness results from increased blood flow, which promotes healing and is a typical side effect of the surgery.
By day 12, your hair growth will appear more even, blending seamlessly with your existing hair. At this stage, the initial signs of your transformation become visible, bringing you closer to achieving your desired look.
With proper aftercare and our expert support, you’ll be back to feeling confident and ready to show off your new hair in no time!
