Shock Loss After Hair Transplant

The shock shedding process experienced by almost every patient undergoing hair transplant is the most concerning yet the most natural phase of the operation.

Why Does Shock Shedding Occur?

During the transplantation, hair follicles experience a temporary period of oxygen deprivation. Due to this trauma, the hair shafts shed, but the roots remain alive.

When Does It Start and End?

It starts in the 2nd week after the transplant and is completed by the end of the 2nd month. From the 3rd month onwards, your new and permanent hair strands begin to grow.
