Frequently Asked Questions: Your Hair Transplant Journey with MAXIM
How soon will I see results after my hair transplant?
While every patient's hair growth cycle is unique, most individuals begin to see visible results within 3 to 4 months after their procedure. However, it can take up to a year or more to see the full, final results as the transplanted hair follicles go through their natural growth cycles.
Is a hair transplant a permanent solution?
Yes, hair transplants are considered a permanent solution for hair loss. The transplanted hair follicles are resistant to the factors that cause male pattern baldness, ensuring that your results will last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
Will I experience pain or discomfort during the procedure?
At MAXIM Hair Restoration, we prioritize our patients' comfort throughout the entire hair transplant process. We use advanced anesthetic techniques to ensure that you experience minimal discomfort during the procedure itself. Some mild swelling and soreness are common in the days following the transplant, but these can be managed with over-the-counter medications.
What is the success rate of hair transplants?
Hair transplant procedures have a high success rate, with most patients experiencing around 90% to 95% of the transplanted hair follicles taking root and growing normally. But it’s important to note that individual results may vary based on factors such as the patient's overall health, hair characteristics, and adherence to post-operative instructions.
Can I participate in physical activities after my hair transplant?
We recommend avoiding strenuous physical activity or exercise during the initial recovery period to allow the transplanted follicles to take hold properly. Once you've healed though, you'll be able to fully embrace an active lifestyle without worrying about your hair transplant results.
How long does the hair transplant procedure take?
The duration of a hair transplant procedure can vary depending on the extent of the treatment area and the technique being used. Generally, FUE procedures can take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours, while FUT procedures may take longer, ranging from 6 to 10 hours.
