Does one need to take vacation after having a hair transplant?
No. Typically the hairs are only a few millimeters in length immediately following surgery. Once transplanted, the hairs may appear to be growing, but in reality they are being thrust out. Within 3 – 4 weeks, nearly all of the newly transplanted hairs will be shed. Approximately three months following the initial shedding of hairs, new hair growth begins. Dr. Leonard offers to all his transplant patients two weeks of complimentary laser therapy, which can greatly decrease this waiting period. Graftctye assists in this way, too.
