Book Free Hair Transplant ConsultationWhat Should I Expect After a Hair Transplant?
Understanding what happens after a hair transplant helps patients feel prepared throughout the recovery and growth process. The healing period is gradual, and results develop over several months as transplanted follicles begin producing new hair.
Immediately After the Procedure
- Mild redness, swelling, and scalp sensitivity may occur.
- Small scabs may form around transplanted grafts.
- Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to protect the healing follicles.
During the First Few Weeks
The scalp continues healing, and transplanted hairs may temporarily shed. This shedding phase is normal and occurs as follicles transition into a new growth cycle.
Hair Growth Timeline
- 3 to 4 Months: Early new hair growth typically begins.
- 6 to 9 Months: Visible improvement in coverage and density develops.
- 12 to 18 Months: Hair continues to mature and final results become more noticeable.
How Can I Protect My Results?
- Follow all post-operative instructions.
- Avoid disturbing newly transplanted grafts.
- Protect the scalp from excessive sun exposure.
- Attend follow-up appointments.
- Follow recommended hair care guidelines.
Every patient's recovery and growth timeline is unique. During your consultation, Dr. Brett Bolton will explain what to expect based on your procedure, hair loss pattern, and restoration goals.

You KNOW your doctor prior to the procedure, which was important to me. Josh my point of contact was able to answer all my questions and walked me through everything including the best travel logistics. I recently scheduled another appointment, which is only due to the dramatic amount of loss i had. If i would have taken action earlier, i would have been 1 and done. These guys get results! Don't wait like i did. Read More →

I have actually had two amazing procedures with Dr. Brett Bolton. I personally recommend Dr. Brett Bolton and his staff to any person who is unhappy with their appearance, self-conscious, of have any lack of confidence when it comes to their hair. The procedure is very simple and painless. The staff strives to keep you as comfortable as possible during the entire process of the procedure. The follow-up care is just as adequate as the the before care. Its not like you have the procedure done and are just forgotten about. I still continuously receive followup calls just to check on my well- being. Read More →

I did my research watching Dr.Bolton's videos and testimonials and felt he was the best doctor to travel to. I had a previous procedure at Bosley years ago that left me with minimal results and a scar. I wanted to do it right this time and I'm happy I did. I'm so amazed with the results and procedure I came back for more. It's changed my life and I'm very THANKFUL. Read More →

Mike kept in touch with me before and after my surgery to answer any issues I had. Dr. Bolton is a true artist in his profession, and I've done hair transplants with other specialists.
He knew exactly what he was doing, and the one-two hair micrografts around my hairline look fantastic. I wouldn't go to anyone else since he is so wonderful! Read More →
