    transplanted hair follicles establishing and producing new hair

    Hair Graft Growth refers to the process by which transplanted hair follicles, or grafts, begin to establish themselves and produce new hair after a hair transplant procedure. Initially, the transplanted hair may shed within the first few weeks, but the follicles remain in place and enter a resting phase. New hair growth typically starts to become noticeable after 3 to 4 months, with full results often visible within 12 to 18 months. This process is crucial for the success of hair restoration treatments.
