FUE Hair Transplant Recovery: What to Expect

Recovery Timeline

FUE recovery is significantly faster than older strip methods. Most patients return to work within 2-5 days. The transplanted hair sheds after 2-4 weeks (this is normal), and new growth begins at 3-4 months. Full results are visible at 12-18 months.
