When do grafts stop growing?


Recommended Posts

Do you guys know about what month do new grafts stop growing out of the scalp and there is only hair length growth and shaft thickening left?

 

I'm a little over 5 months post HT.

0.5 mg Avodart daily since 6/19/06

 

1950 grafts with Dr. Hasson in the front line 6/19/06.

There is no definitive answer to this question. A great many variables can influence the appearance of implanted grafts, among which, but not solely limited to:

 

 

1-our own unique genetic clocks which governs phases of hair growth, ie anagen,telogen etc,

 

2-graft size ie, 1, 2 or 3 follicles per graft

 

3-trauma to graft during excision and implantation

 

The range of time for their appearance can vary widely, from as little as 3-4 months to one year or more. Within these variables are even more variables that can have an effect of thier growth, so simply put, wait about a year or so, by that time just about all of them should have appeared, but still no guarantee. Hope this helps somewhat.

As Cousin It states, this varies between patients, however on average for all but the crown area (which takes longer) most of the grafts will grow by around month 7 to 8. You are at a good time right now at 5 months. Things will really happen for you for the next couple of months.

 

Having said that, I have seen some new sprouts on my own head even today at 14 months. Not many, but definitely 6 or 7. That tells me that my HT is far from mature.
