When Does Hair Transplant “Shock Loss” Grow Back?

This [tag]hair loss[/tag] question was answered by  Dr. Glenn Charles of Florida who is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.   His professional answer is below.

How long does it typically take [tag]hair transplant[/tag] [tag]shock loss[/tag] around the recipient area to grow back (assuming it does)?

Some of the hairs that fall out due to post hair transplant [tag]telogen effluvium[/tag]  known as shock loss  will grow back just before or at the same time as the [tag]transplanted hairs[/tag] – 3-5 months after the procedure. In cases where there are a lot of very weak, thin, dying hairs in the recipient area some of the shocked hairs will be lost permanently. There is no current way to determine which [tag]hair loss[/tag] patients will get shock loss and of those who do, how much is permanent loss versus temporary loss.

Dr. Glenn Charles, D.O.
