How Long Does The Results Of Hair Transplant last?
Hair loss is a problem that affects both men and women. How long hair transplant results last depends on the individual, but in general, it will last indefinitely.
Hair transplants are a way to restore your full head of hair without any problems. The procedure can be done with minimally invasive techniques using either local anesthesia or sedation. Patients find this an attractive option because there are no scars and the recovery time is very short. There's also less pain associated with the procedure than other types of surgery.
What is the duration of hair transplant results? How long will my hair look healthy and full after surgery? What can I do to make sure that my transplanted hairs stay thick and healthy? These are common questions many patients ask before undergoing a hair transplant procedure. In this blog, we tell you more about how long a successful hair transplant lasts.
What Can I Do to Make Sure That My Transplanted Hairs Stay Thick and Healthy?
Even though most of the factors affecting hair growth are genetic, there are a few steps that can be taken by patients to boost the longevity of their transplants:
- Avoid stressful situations such as too much exposure to sunlight (through wearing caps or sunblock lotion), smoking, drugs, and alcohol which can cause problems with healing.
- Use special shampoos specially designed for transplant patients (these products usually contain minoxidil). Or use serums to control hair fall.
- While putting your hair in ponytails, braids, and other hairstyles be careful that you don't pull on the transplanted hairs too hard.
- Avoid activities that are likely to expose the transplant area to excessive friction or heat such as sporting activities like skiing, soccer, cycling, etc.
The amount of time you need to use special shampoos will depend on how fast your scalp normally sheds its dead hair cells. If it does this quickly, you'll only need to use these special anti-hair loss products for a short while (for example two months) after the surgery but if there is some delay in shedding you may need to use them for up to 6 months or even longer depending on where you have been injected with the follicular units. Your doctor can tell you more about this and can recommend a shampoo that will be best suited for your needs.
How long will the result of the Hair Transplant last?
In general, it will last indefinitely as the transplanted hairs will not go into a resting phase the way your natural hair does. So, it is generally considered a permanent solution. The only thing that could affect them is if they are exposed to extreme stress or trauma. In these cases, new hair follicles might be needed so that the transplant will look full again. It's important to try and keep your transplanted hair in good condition by avoiding things such as using heated tools on your hair frequently, over-processing with chemicals, rough handling of your hair (for example, when putting on ponytails), etc. Your surgeon can tell you more about how best to maintain healthy-looking hair after surgery. It's also vital for you to take the prescribed medications (particularly for you to avoid any illnesses like colds or flu) and follow instructions about how many days after surgery you need to refrain from working out at your gym.
However, some patients can experience hair loss even after surgery. So, patients may require more than 1 session. Maybe the multiple sessions will be spread out over the years. Although this is not common for every patient, it depends on certain health as well as physical factors.
