What to expect from your hair transplant results after 3 months
Whether you have had a FUE, DHI or an IdealofMeD combination hair transplant, up until the 3rd month following your hair transplant, you will have experienced almost all the minor side effects of hair restoration. Amongst these side effects are redness, swelling, discomfort, crusting or scabbing and most notably, hair loss known as shedding. Hair shedding after a hair transplant is a common and natural occurrence as a result of interrupted oxygen supply to the follicles during the extraction and implantation of hair grafts. The good news is that underneath the scalp, your new hair is starting to develop, taking you into the next phase of your hair restoration journey. You should still be using your complimentary IdealofMeD post-surgery hair products, which is providing your hair and body with everything it needs to ensure maximum hair regrowth.Hair growth 3 months after hair transplant surgery
Throughout the first 3 months, the transplanted hair follicles are dormant, meaning that there is no growth observed. The reason for this is that the hair shifts into the telogen phase of the hair growth cycle immediately after hair restoration surgery. Around 3 to 4 months after your hair transplant, your natural hair cycle determining the exact time, your hair will transition into the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle. If you do not notice any growth in the recipient area 3 months after hair transplantation, you may simply need to give your hair a few more weeks as every individual’s hair growth cycle will vary from another. The transition into the anagen phase marks a significant stride in the development of hair transplant results after 3 months because this phase marks the first step in the development of hair growth and density. The new hair may appear thin and slightly sparse 3 months after hair transplantation but will continue to thicken throughout the next few months of growth as more hair starts to grow.Book Your Free Consultation

Effects from the surgery
Fortunately, most of the side effects of your hair transplant are over and done within 3 months post-hair restoration procedure. However, it is possible that you may experience these minor side effects owing to the new hair growth appearing in this period.
White pimple formations in the recipient area: Small pimple-like, ingrown hair patterns may form in the recipient zone once the hair begins to grow around month 3. These pimple formations suggest that new hair shafts are making their way to the epidermis and will soon push through the surface the more they continue to grow.
Numbness after hair transplant: Although it is likely that you will have regained sensitivity by 3 months after your hair transplant, it is normal to still be experiencing some numbness in the scalp. This occurs due to nerve damage inflicted during the hair transplant surgery, in which small wounds are forged in the scalp during the hair implantation process. As the nerves begin to regenerate leading to regained sensitivity in the scalp, you may begin noticing sensations of itchiness or tingling.
Patchiness: The occurs because the individual hair shafts start growing at different times which leads to longer hair in some sections and shorter hair in other regions of the recipient zone.
