A hair transplant is a long-lasting solution for those looking to restore their hair naturally and permanently. However, the duration of the procedure, the recovery process, and long-term results can vary depending on several factors. In this article, we explain all the details. The time it takes to perform a hair transplant depends on the number of follicles to be transplanted and the technique used. On average, the procedure can take between 4 and 8 hours. Recovery after a hair transplant usually takes a few weeks. During this time, it’s normal to experience scabbing in the implanted area and temporary shedding of the transplanted hair, known as "shock loss." Check out our guide on how to sleep after a hair transplant to make your recovery easier. Definitive results begin to show between 6 and 12 months after the procedure. If medical recommendations are followed, the transplanted hair can last a lifetime. For more information on this process, visit our section on the month-by-month evolution of a hair transplant. The technique employed, whether FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) or DHI (Direct Hair Implantation), influences the duration of the procedure and the quality of the results.
