Hair transplantation is a method that involves removing healthy hair follicles from the back or side of the head and transplanting them to the balding areas to restore hair growth. Normally, the transplanted hair follicles are resistant to the effects of male hormones for a lifetime, meaning they should continue growing in their new location without falling out, unlike the original hair.
In the early stages after hair transplantation, some of the transplanted hairs may experience a brief shedding phase known as "telogen effluvium," as the follicles adapt to their new environment. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and should not be a cause for concern. Several months later, new, healthy hair will regrow from these follicles permanently.
To maintain the results of the hair transplant, patients should maintain healthy lifestyle habits and avoid excessive熬夜 (staying up late), fatigue, and mental stress. Additionally, regular follow-up visits and following the doctor's advice are crucial for maintaining the transplant results. If any concerns or discomfort arise, timely medical consultation is recommended.
