Undergoing a NeoPlatinum Hair Transplant is a transformative step toward restoring your confidence and achieving a fuller head of hair. As one of the most advanced and minimally invasive hair restoration techniques available today, NeoPlatinum combines precision technology with expert surgical artistry. But what happens after the procedure? Understanding the recovery timeline is essential for setting realistic expectations and ensuring optimal results.
At My NeoGraft India, we guide you through every phase of your hair restoration journey, including recovery. Here’s what you can expect post-procedure:
📅 First 24–72 Hours: Immediate Aftercare
- Mild Swelling & Redness: It’s normal to experience some swelling around the forehead and mild redness in both the donor and recipient areas. These symptoms usually subside within 48–72 hours.
- Tiny Scabs: Small crusts may form around the transplanted grafts. These should not be picked or scratched.
- Sleep Position: To minimize swelling, patients are advised to sleep with their head elevated at a 45-degree angle.
Pro Tip:
Avoid direct sun exposure, heavy physical activity, and alcohol consumption during this period.
🗓️ Days 4–7: Healing Begins
- Scabbing Starts to Flake Off: Around day 4, the tiny scabs will begin to fall off naturally as you gently wash your scalp.
- Reduced Discomfort: Any residual soreness or tightness should fade significantly.
- Normal Washing: You may resume gentle shampooing using a surgeon-recommended product.
Important:
Avoid using fingernails or applying pressure during washing. Let water flow gently over the scalp.
📆 Week 2–3: The Shedding Phase (Shock Loss)
- Temporary Hair Shedding: The newly transplanted hairs will start to shed — a completely normal part of the hair growth cycle known as shock loss.
- Healing Internally: Though shedding may seem alarming, it signifies that the follicles are entering a new growth phase below the skin.
Don’t Panic:
The follicles remain intact and will soon begin producing permanent hair strands.
📅 1–3 Months: Dormant Phase
- Minimal Visible Growth: Hair follicles are now in a resting (telogen) phase. New hair growth isn’t typically visible during this time.
- Gradual Regrowth: Some patients may start seeing fine baby hairs emerging as early as 8–10 weeks post-surgery.
Stay Patient:
This is the most challenging phase mentally but a completely normal part of the recovery process.
🌱 4–6 Months: Visible Growth Begins
- New Hair Emerges: Noticeable growth starts to appear, especially around the hairline and crown.
- Thicker Texture: The new hairs will initially appear thin and soft but will thicken over time.
- Improved Density: By the end of month six, you’ll see around 50–60% of the final result.
📈 9–12 Months: Full Results Realized
- Mature Hair Texture: Transplanted hair becomes thicker, stronger, and identical in behavior to natural hair.
- Final Density & Coverage: By the 12-month mark, most patients achieve 90–100% of their expected final results.
Long-Term:
The results of a NeoPlatinum Hair Transplant are permanent, with transplanted follicles resistant to future hair loss.
