FUE Timeline
Day 1-2
The morning following your treatment, you may notice some minor swelling, bleeding or scabbing beginning. Scalp sensitivity and even a little forehead swelling are expected for a few days and shouldn’t be concerning. This is the time for patients to take extra care around the transplant areas and grafts to make sure that they are firmly planted. So, no direct pressure or friction is advised at that time. You’ll be given instructions about how to wash and care for your scalp in the early days.
Day 3-7
Around three days, the swelling might still be very present, but patients are now able to wash their hair gently. They can also use spray on shampoo. It typically takes 5-7 days after the procedure for the swelling to completely resolve.
Day 7-14
You’ll need to make sure that your transplanted hair grafts successfully take. To ensure this, you must avoid direct pressure to the scalp or manipulation of the small scabs that form. The tiny scabs are expected and will fall off within the first week as you eventually wash your hair more. Your hair transplant surgeon will tell you to avoid swimming, hot tubbing and other exposures to bacteria until the micro-incision sites are healed.
Wk. 2-6
The shedding phase follows the initial healing a few weeks after treatment. Before full results are seen, the transplanted hair must go through the predictable stages of healing then growth. During the first phase, the transferred hairs which were implanted with follicles will typically fall out. This is a natural and expected part of the recovery and shouldn’t alarm you. Your follicles will stay healthy and established as new hairs begin to grow in. Many people can see new strands coming in as early as three months after the transplant.
3-6 Mths.
During the anagen stage of the hair cycle, hairs start to appear in the transplant site, and the results will slowly become more evident. Some may notice changes to the texture of their hairs or a difference in the direction of the growth. However, it’s important to appreciate that thickness, pattern and style of new hair will require time to mature. You must be patient throughout the process.
9-14 Mths.
For many, it takes nine to fourteen months to enjoy a full head of thick hair. By nine months, many people see full results that they can cut and style just like the hair of their past. For others, it will take a full year or longer to appreciate all the benefits from their procedure.

Are hair implant results long lasting?
Even though the result may take a year, our clients are overjoyed once they can run fingers through their own hair again
People who undergo hair restoration with FUE achieve long-lasting effects that look and feel entirely natural. In many cases, the transplanted hair will not be susceptible to future hair loss, even when it is relocated to an area of the scalp with low density. That can change a person’s appearance quite dramatically.
Anyone who deals with hair loss or thinning knows that seeing a full head of hair can be life-changing. Now you can personally experience all those benefits yourself with a virtually scar-less, fast and effective hair transplant surgery.
Male pattern baldness is extremely common, and unfortunately, not reversible through diet or lifestyle changes. However, you don’t have to suffer or feel helpless because your DNA is working against you. At our Toronto clinic, we know how troubling hair loss can be, which is why we dedicate our practice to helping clients get natural, youthful-looking hair. In your private consultation, you‘ll be introduced to the FUE hair implant process and provided with a truly personalized plan to help you reach your goals.

How long does it take to complete extensive hair implants?
The procedure itself takes between 5 to 6 hours while individual hair grafts are meticulously harvested using a precise handpiece. Donor follicles are taken from the back and sides of the head and are therefore resistant to DHT. That means they have good staying power where they’re grafted in. As a result, the patient will regrow thick and luscious hair in the previously sparse areas. However, this does not happen overnight, and patience is critical.
Luckily, the newest technology utilized by our surgeons means that grafts are faster than ever to transplant and yield a higher “take” rate with careful handling during the procedure. The entire experience is relaxing because patients can listen to music or watch television while painlessly transferring hairs. This in-office, day- surgery allows people to leave immediately after and return home post-transplant without the effects of general anaesthetic.
