Are the results of a hair transplant permanent?
Yes, the transplanted hair is typically permanent since it is resistant to the hormone responsible for hair loss (DHT). However, the existing native hair may still be susceptible to normal hair loss.
How long does it take to see results after a hair transplant?
Patients typically start to see initial hair growth within a few months, but full results may take up to a year as the transplanted hair gradually thickens and matures.
Is hair transplantation a painful procedure?
Local anesthesia is used during the procedure, so patients generally do not feel pain. There might be mild discomfort or soreness after the surgery, but pain is usually manageable with prescribed medications.
