Will hair implants fall out?

For those who have hair loss troubles, when they have tried many methods without success, they may try hair transplantation, and those who do not know about hair transplantation may ask: Will hair transplantation fall out?

What is hair transplantation?

Hair transplantation uses the principle of autologous hair transplantation to transplant healthy hair follicles from the back of the occipital area to the frontal area or the top of the head where there is no hair, and these transplanted hair roots can continue to grow in the new bald area, which can solve hair loss problems.

Will hair transplantation fall out?

After successful hair transplantation, it does not mean that the hair in the implanted area will never fall out, but it will still happen. The normal hair follicle will maintain a "grow-shed" metabolic cycle, but the follicle itself is not damaged, and after the hair is lost, the follicle will grow new hair to replenish it. The implanted hair follicles also form a normal "growth-shedding" metabolic cycle, so occasionally a few hairs may fall out in the area where the hair was implanted.

Is it normal for hair to fall out?

Generally speaking, hair transplantation is successful if there is no infection, swelling, or failure of hair growth. If hair loss occurs after a successful hair transplant surgery, it is highly likely that a large amount of hair loss is abnormal, except for a small amount of hair loss from normal metabolism. At this time, it is best to go to the hospital for examination to see if the planted hair follicles are intact and to investigate the causes of hair loss. Shampoo, medication, seborrheic dermatitis, ringworm, etc. may cause hair loss, and it is necessary to treat the symptoms and try to protect the planted hair follicles.

How long does it take for the hair implant to grow out

Usually new hair starts to grow 10 to 20 weeks after the surgery, not all hair starts to grow at the same time, even if the same piece of free scalp, its hair growth is asynchronous. Although new hair growth starts after about 3 months, it takes 6 months to know more exactly how the results will be, and 9 months to see the final results of hair transplantation when 90% of the implanted follicles have grown new hair.

How long does hair transplantation last?

Hair transplantation can last for many years if the procedure is successful. Hair loss is more common in middle-aged men and is usually caused by genetics, aging, androgenic changes and other intrinsic factors. Hair transplantation uses healthy hair follicles in the back of the head, which are not affected by androgenic changes and can be maintained for many years if not stimulated by external substances.

What conditions require hair transplantation

Hair loss due to genetic, endocrine, ageing, trauma and other factors, and necrosis of hair follicles, can not grow new hair, and can only be solved by hair transplantation. However, if the hair loss is temporary due to stimulation by hair dyes, shampoos, medications, etc., the hair follicles still exist and can be stimulated to grow hair, not necessarily by choosing hair transplantation.
