Recovery after a hair transplant in Turkey is usually smooth but requires care and patience. Knowing what to expect can help you achieve the best results.
Day 1–7: Immediate Recovery
Expect swelling, redness, and scabbing in the treated area. Avoid touching or washing your hair unless instructed. Sleep with your head elevated.
Week 2–4: Shedding Phase
Transplanted hairs often fall out—this is normal and called “shock loss.” Your real hair growth begins after this phase.
Month 2–4: Early Growth
New hair begins to emerge but may be thin or weak at first. Continue using prescribed shampoo and avoid sun exposure.
Month 5–8: Visible Results
You’ll see thicker, fuller hair. Most people see 50–70% growth by this time. It’s important to attend any virtual or in-person follow-ups.
Month 9–12: Final Look
The final results are visible. Some patients may need a second session depending on hair goals or density issues.
