Lots of bald spots during shedding phase

[Portugal]

Im at Week 6 and have shed quite a lot. I can see quite a few new hairs coming through but Im slightly concerned at the amount of completely bald spots with no sign of any follicles. Is this normal at this stage and nothing to worry about or should I be worried? You can by comparing week 2 picture to todays picture how many follicles there were before I started
shedding.

It's completely normal, don't worry, it will grow back

Very normal.

This is what is usually referred to as the "ugly duckling" part of hair transplant recovery and happens in almost every case. It's alarming and frustrating but don't worry! They'll grow back 🙂

Thanks for clarifying. I was expecting the shedding, but the thing that threw me was seeing only a few hairs growing back in quite sparsely rather than all of the transplanted hairs growing back in all at the same time

New hair usually starts growing in at around the 3 month mark.
