When are you out of the wood with Shock loss and graft shedding?

[THINinHOUSTON]

by graph shedding I mean the transplanted hairs

 

I know the shedding starts anywhere from 10 days to 4 weeks and shockloss is about the same time frame.

 

When are you out of the woods on both?

Thin,

 

Sorry nobody has replied to your question yet.

 

Shock loss can occur at various times however, both the shocked hair and transplanted hair typically starts to regrow around the same time. If you do experience heavy shock loss, it could take up to 12 months for it to fully restore, depending on your transplanted hair growth timeframe.

 

The early days are hard, but take a deep breath and relax. It may get a little worse before things get better. But this is all normal

 

Best wishes,

 

Bill

yes things have sure been quiet of late .

 

I thought i was going to be one of the "lucky ones" hahahaha turned out that all my anxious phone conversations with spex were right and that i was just a late shedder , my worse was the 2 month mark , i really had lost most of my transplanted hair by then , i only really kept about 20% , if that bud

Thanks but I still dont understand the shockloss.

 

But if you havent had shockloss after say 6 weeks does that mean you wont experience any?

 

Bill you said it could occur anytime so 6 months out I could have shocklooss at top and/or the donor area.

Thin,

 

I didn't say it could occur anytime, I said it could occur at various times .

 

Shock loss is a loss of hair as a result of trauma to the scalp during surgery.

 

From what I have seen, shock loss can occur anytime up and during the first 3 months. I started to experience it around week 5 and noticed some regrowth by week 10-12. But it is different for everyone.

 

Does this answer your question?
