About Us
Undergoing a hair transplant at My Hair UK involves a structured recovery and growth process over the first six months. Understanding this timeline can help set realistic expectations and ensure optimal results.
Weeks 1–2: Immediate Post-Operative Phase
In the initial fortnight, you may experience:
-
Scalp Sensitivity: Mild discomfort, redness, and swelling are common. These symptoms typically subside within a few days.
-
Crusting: Small scabs form around the transplanted follicles. It’s crucial to avoid picking at these to prevent dislodging grafts.
-
Hygiene: Gentle washing with prescribed solutions helps maintain cleanliness and supports healing.
Weeks 3–4: Shedding Phase
Around the third week, the transplanted hairs often enter a shedding phase, known as “telogen effluvium.” This is a normal part of the hair growth cycle and not indicative of graft failure. The follicles remain intact and will soon enter the growth phase.
Months 2–3: Dormant Phase
During this period:
-
Minimal Visible Growth: New hair growth is not yet apparent, which can be concerning but is expected.
-
Follicle Activity: Beneath the surface, follicles transition into the anagen (growth) phase, preparing for new hair production.
Months 4–6: Initial Growth Phase
Between the fourth and sixth months:
-
Emerging Hair: Fine, thin hairs begin to surface, gradually increasing in density.
-
Texture Changes: New hairs may initially appear different in texture or colour but will normalise over time.
-
Continued Maturation: Hair strands thicken and lengthen, contributing to a fuller appearance.
Cost Considerations
Hair transplant costs in the UK vary based on individual needs:
-
Extent of Hair Loss: Larger areas require more grafts, increasing the cost.
-
Number of Grafts: Procedures typically range from £3,000 to £10,000, depending on the number of grafts needed.
-
Clinic Location and Expertise: Clinics in major cities or with highly experienced surgeons may charge higher fees.
It’s important to consult with a qualified specialist to obtain an accurate quote tailored to your specific situation.
FAQs
Q: Is the shedding of transplanted hair normal?
A: Yes, shedding typically occurs within the first month post-transplant and is a normal part of the hair growth cycle.
Q: When will I see noticeable hair growth?
A: Initial growth usually becomes visible between months 4 and 6, with continued improvement up to 12 months post-procedure.
Q: Are the results permanent?
A: Transplanted hairs are generally permanent, as they are resistant to the hormones that cause hair loss. However, ongoing hair loss in non-transplanted areas may require future treatments.
Q: How much does a hair transplant cost?
A: Costs vary based on individual needs but typically range from £3,000 to £10,000 in the UK. Factors influencing cost include the number of grafts and the clinic’s location and reputation.
