No, hair transplant results are not immediate. In fact, transplanted hairs often shed within the first few weeks due to a process known as “shock loss.” This is completely normal. New growth begins around 3–4 months post-surgery, with gradual improvement over time. Most patients notice significant growth by 6 months, while the final, fully matured results are visible between 9 and 12 months. Techniques like DSHI help improve graft survival and early growth, but patience is essential. Hair transplants are a gradual transformation, delivering permanent results that continue to improve naturally over time.
