Is shedding normal after a hair transplant? Shedding of transplanted hairs 1–8 weeks after surgery is expected, and regrowth usually starts at 3–5 months. Shock loss of nearby native hair can also happen, so ask your surgeon if shedding persists.

learn Botox

Can Botox reduce chronic hair shedding? Whether Botox reduces chronic shedding is unknown: one very small 2022 trial in telogen effluvium had no placebo arm, and the blood-flow theory is unproven. Scalp Botox for hair loss is off-label, and all botulinum toxin products carry an FDA boxed warning.
