Rahal Hair Transplant Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 LeeC123, This very well could be shock loss. In fact, it’s typical for shock loss to occur several weeks after hair transplant surgery as opposed to occurring immediately after the procedure. Shocked hair typically returns in full between 6 to 12 months after the date of the procedure although in many cases, the hair grows back before then. I hope this helps.

From what you have said and shown it’s more than likely temporary shock loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Britanium Posted July 28, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 28, 2022 Slightly Improved, but it’s difficult to tell. Shock loss can take quite a few months to recover, but I believe you’re on the right track ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh monthly is enough, you could end up driving yourself crazy otherwise. As you will have noticed on the other shock loss threads it can take a while and it differs for everyone. Sometimes it coincides with growth from a hair transplant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying for extra “sessions” etc ? No. Very few elite clinics actually use it, and for others it’s very questionable, the hair mills push it as part of their marketing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
