1 to 3 Months : 90% of your transplanted hair can fall out now. But do not worry ! This is a normal process that occurs in 95% of hair transplant cases. Some of your natural hair, which is next to the transplanted grafts, may also fall out.
This phenomenon, called "shock loss", is not worrying either. This is a temporary process, which means your hair will grow back stronger over the next 3-6 months. The donor area will gradually recover as your hair grows back.
3-4 Months : Although you may not notice dramatic changes during this phase, around 5% of new fine hair begins to grow.
4 to 5 Months : For hair transplants, after 4 months, from now on, 20-25% of the transplanted hair will start to grow.
6 to 9 Months : Between the sixth and the ninth month after your treatment, the majority of transplanted hairs will start to grow (75%) and will also gain in strength and density.
9-18 Months : After the ninth month, 20-25% of your hair will grow back. However, in some cases, the vertex area can take up to 18 months to develop fully.

Hair transplant on the frontal line. Men, in particular, often suffer from what is known as receding hairline, which can often only be treated with a hair transplant. The results of hair transplant for hair loss before and after treatment are promising. The number of grafts required for a treatment strongly depends on the course of hair loss. On average, between 2,500 and 3,500 grafts are needed to make a significant difference in a hair transplant for a receding forehead line. The possibility of reaching this number also depends on the condition of the donor area. It is therefore useful to consider intervention at a preliminary stage, before the hair loss has progressed too much.

A distance of 5-6.5 centimeters between the eyebrow and the hairline is considered normal. If the hairline is more pronounced, it is disproportionate. During the process, the forehead line is advanced a few centimeters, which shortens the forehead and gives a very natural result. Hair transplantation is a good solution, especially for women who have an advanced forehead line, because in some cases, it helps to avoid shaving the entire head.
