Hair Grafts 101
A "follicular graft" is the foundation of a restoration procedure. It’s a cluster of hair follicles — usually between 1 and 4 — that is extracted from a donor area (commonly the back of your head) and implanted into the thinning area.Modern methods such as FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) are used to ensure less downtime. FUE is especially popular due to its faster healing.
If you're thinking of restoring your hair, it’s worth exploring options like a hair transplant through trusted professionals.
How Transplanted Hair Grows Over Time
Hair doesn’t start growing overnight after a transplant — and that’s totally okay. Each transplanted follicle goes through three primary phases:1. Shock Loss Period
It’s typical for transplanted hair to disappear within the first few weeks. This is known as "shock loss,” and it’s a sign the grafts are settling.
2. Dormant Phase (1–3 months)
Your follicles enter a dormant phase. Nothing appears to change, but beneath the surface, healing is underway.
3. Final Phase
New hair begins to emerge. By month 6, you’ll start noticing meaningful improvement. Full results can take up to a year — sometimes longer.
What Results Can You Expect?
Hair transplants are not quick wins. Outcomes depend on many factors like genetics. While the transformation can be rewarding, remember that the transplanted hair will grow in the same pattern as your donor area.Is WMG London the Right Choice?
