What is Shock Hair Loss?

Hair shedding, or shock hair loss, after hair transplant is a common response from the body. This process shows the healing and regrowth process is taking place.

Shock hair loss occurs when hair sheds from the donor area or after a hair restoration procedure.

Post-transplant shock hair loss, that is, sudden hair loss from the recipient or donor area, may occur within four to eight weeks after the surgery. In some cases, shock loss may occur even earlier.

We know that the shock loss that occurs in a small number of patients can be distressing for those affected. To minimize the risk of shock loss, we minimize the risk thanks to our specialist doctors.

If you experience shock hair loss after the hair transplantation, you should know that it is a temporary situation. This is a normal part of the healing process after the treatment and your hair will grow back soon because shock hair loss is a natural reaction to hair transplant surgery.

Shock hair loss, which is more common among women, is estimated to affect 5 percent of female hair transplant patients.

Shock hair loss can be seen both in the donor area of FUE surgeries and more common in the recipient area. In nearly all cases of shock hair loss, the loss is temporary and will eventually start to grow back. Most of the patients will experience visible regrowth within three to six months.  It may take 12-18 months for the hair to mature to normal thickness and texture.

When Does Hair Grow After Shock Hair Loss?

Shedding hair usually grows back with the transplanted hair after about three months. After the FUE procedure, you can expect the shaved hair to grow at a normal rate of 1/2 mm per day.
