What To Expect After Your Micro-transplant Hair Transplant

What To Expect After Your Micro-transplant Hair Transplant

Hair loss is common as we age—about 50% of men have noticeable loss by age 50. If you're feeling younger than your reflection suggests, a Hair Implantation at Gro Clinics could be the treatment you’ve been waiting for. Using micro‑transplant techniques, we transplant your own follicles directly—no stitches, minimal scarring, and a streamlined recovery.

Our procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and may take one session (up to 8 hours) or two shorter sessions. Many clients return to work the next day, though we recommend taking a week off for optimal recovery.

Post‑Treatment Care

To support successful healing and growth, we’ll provide you with:

  • A Post‑Op care kit with sterile saline to keep the recipient area moisturised
  • Anti‑inflammatory medication and antibiotics to minimise discomfort and infection risk (avoid alcohol and smoking for 7 days while on antibiotics)

Recommended Aftercare Guidelines

  • Avoid direct sun and swimming for 2 weeks - use a loose hat when outdoors
  • No strenuous exercise (e.g., heavy weights) for 4 weeks
  • Begin using prescription haircare treatments 10 days post‑procedure to support non‑transplanted follicles
  • Avoid other topical products or medicated shampoos for 4 weeks
  • Contact us immediately if you notice signs of infection or unexpected symptoms

Expected Growth Timeline

It’s normal to experience a short pause after initial shedding at ~4 weeks. You can expect:

  • New growth at 3–4 months
  • Noticeable improvement at 6 months
  • Full results between 9–12 months

Safety & Outcomes

Our micro‑transplant method is considered safe, with a graft survival rate of over 90%. The direct implantation technique allows for high precision and minimal tissue trauma, leading to excellent, long‑lasting outcomes.
