Questions about Shockloss


Recommended Posts

I had hair transplant 6 weeks ago.  About 95% of my transplanted hair fall out since week 3. So far I don't feel I have shock loss on my native hair. I think I can see hair on my hairline start growing. I have two questions.
1. Am I safe from shock loss by now?
2. Since doctor did transplant about 1 cm into my hairline.Over time, without taking medication, does transplanted hair have an effect on surrounding native hair? I head that hair transplant can accelerate surrounding hair to fall, but is this side effect one time thing? (due to the transplantation procedure) or does it keep affecting the native hair? (due to the existence of transplanted hair)

Thank you very much

Transplanted hair has an effect on hair it's planted in between, that's where shock loss tends to occur if at all.

But hair transplanted into bare scalp next to hair tends not to experience much if any shock loss.

Every person's physiology reacts uniquely to the trauma of surgery, but generally speaking, shock loss is only a concern when lots of grafts are being packed between healthy growing hair.
