However, the regrowth shall initiate simultaneously. Wish you a happy growth and a wonderful journey ahead. ❤ 1 Official representative of Eugenix Hair Sciences Dr. Arika Bansal & Dr. Pradeep Sethi https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5crlGyTac2hlU1gHneADzQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member WhatComesNext Posted December 14, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 14, 2021 Hello again, I have a quick question I'm hoping you guys can help me with. I am starting to get concerned about my right hairline, specifically that it looks really scarce, with very little spaced out single hairs in the front. I know shock loss and shedding are possible explanations for this, but what is concerning me is that my skin is very smooth between the spaced out single hairs, with no visible insertion marks. I know the clinic spent considerable time densifying this area, so is it just the case that the skin has healed quickly and the new hair just needs to break through the skin, or do I have something to be concerned about? Just under 5 weeks post now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JDEE0 Posted December 14, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 14, 2021 You're 5 weeks in and have shed 90 percent + of your grafts, there is nothing to worry about and you look completely normal for the time frame you're at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted December 14, 2021 Administrators Share Posted December 14, 2021 Perfectly normal to be a bit pink, it’ll subside you’re still healing. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Thanks, and fair enough - I'm okay with the redness. I get that that is the norm for my skin colour, my concern is moreso the scarcity in the hairline and not being able to see new growth or even insertions, when I know that that was more densely packed. JDEE0 did give me an answer on that which makes me a little less concerned, so that's good. Ugly duckling self-consciousness abounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is okay for the skin to feel completely smooth. There will be regrowth in the future. For now, there can be uneven shedding. Please don't worry about it.

Senior Member rob7331 Posted December 16, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 16, 2021 Hi my dude, I'll speak directly to your question as I know exactly what you mean. In the first couple months after a HT it will often look very thin. Areas where you thought had roughly 400 grafts done look like they have 100, etc. I've been told that the hairs are there, they are just under the skin and haven't 'popped' through yet. The growth phase for most people starts at 4 months, and it can take some time before all the newly transplanted hairs are visible. And then of course, they have to lengthen and mature, which takes more time. Here's two pics from my previous HT to show you what I mean. The first is at 2 months, the second 18 months. 6 Follow my second hair transplant journey below Caucasian - 4613 Grafts - Eugenix, Dr. Arika Bansal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @rob7331 your post has been super helpful and I keep coming back to it. I am concerned about how thin and sparsely planted the hairline looks at the 6 week mark, especially the smooth gaps between individual hairs, but your pics and experience give me hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 12, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 12, 2022 I’m in the same boat, hair transplants are a mental game. Its all part of the process.

No laser therapy. I've noticed a little bit of improvement from month 2-3 but not much. Hoping things really take off as I approach and pass the 4 month mark. Truly is a mental game at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you are doing everything that you are supposed to (taking medications and multivitamins), there is nothing to worry about. My regrowth really picked up around the 6th month. So please don't worry if the growth is delayed as well. But looking at your pictures, your growth seems to be starting. 1 Official representative of Eugenix Hair Sciences Dr. Arika Bansal & Dr. Pradeep Sethi https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5crlGyTac2hlU1gHneADzQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member rocketmas Posted February 13, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2022 The density appearing less along the hairline is temporary. Should come through and look nice in the months ahead. Good luck. Keenly watching the journey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
