Recovery after a hair transplant is generally quite quick. Although absolute rest is not required, we do recommend following certain guidelines, especially regarding rest and hygiene care. The first three to four days are essential for recovery, so we advise returning to work only after this period. More intense activities, such as going to the gym or wearing a helmet (e.g. for motorbike use), should only be resumed after two weeks to one month following the procedure.

It is extremely important that the patient is aware of the different stages of hair growth following the procedure. Between the fourth and sixth week, it is normal for the transplanted hair to fall out — this is part of the natural process. After this phase, new hair begins to grow. Within the first two to three months, the initial signs of hair growth become visible. At around six months, very satisfactory results can usually be observed, but the final results are typically visible approximately one year after the transplant.

As with any surgical procedure, there are some potential risks associated with hair transplantation, such as bleeding or infection at the site. However, these risks are unlikely, as the follicles used are from the patient's own body, eliminating the risk of rejection. To minimise any risk, proper care during the procedure is essential. At HairScience, all surgical procedures are carried out exclusively by qualified medical professionals.

Proper preparation includes adopting a healthy lifestyle. Our medical team can also assist with personalised follow-up care to optimise the results of your transplant. This follow-up may include clinical treatments (with medication tailored to your needs) or complementary techniques such as mesotherapy or PRP.
