A hair transplant is a big decision that requires a lot of thinking and research. Many patients avoid getting it because they are not sure about the results. Different reasons can make someone avoid getting a hair transplant and shock loss is one of them. Shock loss is a phase that happens after a hair transplant. It can make people think that hair transplant surgery has failed. However, it is not the case. In this article, we will explain why shock loss occurs after getting a hair transplant?
We will also share how you can minimize its chances. So, let’s get started.
Shock loss after a hair transplant is a natural phenomenon. During this phase, the newly transplanted hair falls out. It can occur both in the donor and in the recipient areas. In some cases, not only the transplanted hair but the original ones also fall out. However, this phase is only temporary and new hair follicles will soon begin growing. Moreover, it doesn’t even affect all patients as only about 5% of patients experience this type of hair shedding.
During the hair transplantation process, trauma is caused to the scalp muscles and the neighboring hair follicles. It causes the hair follicles to suffer from the hibernation state.
Shock loss can be caused by one of the following reasons:
If you get a hair transplant from an inexperienced surgeon, you have higher chances of shock loss. However, if you get a Micrografting FUE hair transplant in Dubai from an experienced surgeon, your hair transplant is safer.
The good news is, shock loss is a temporary phenomenon. Hairs regrow automatically from the affected hair grafts within a couple of months. So, there’s no need to cure it with any medication.
You need to be very careful during and after getting a Micrografting FUE hair transplant in Dubai. Make sure that the newly transplanted hair follicles don’t get damaged. Because once they are damaged, there are very few chances to treat them and help them regrow.
There are some medications which help in the process of hair regrowth like:
But before using any medication, you should consult your surgeon. These medications may not work for everyone and especially for decreasing the chances of hair transplant shock
loss.
The best way to avoid shock loss is by getting an FUE hair transplant. That way, automatically, you will have the least chances of shock loss.
Micrografting is an advanced hair transplantation technique. Professional surgeons mostly recommend it because it poses the least risk of hair transplant shock loss. During the procedure, an automated punch tool is used for hair follicle extraction in a quick and accurate manner. It provides natural-looking and permanent results in a guaranteed period. No one will be able to distinguish between your natural hair and transplanted hair.
Shock loss cases are temporary. So, don’t worry if you are experiencing shock loss after getting a Micrografting FUE hair transplant in Dubai. Typically, it lasts for about three months and then recovers on its own when hair regrowth starts.
Before getting a Micrografting FUE hair transplant in Dubai, make sure that the clinic is authentic. Moreover, only choose a surgeon with years of experience in the hair transplant field.
