Mild swelling and redness are normal in the first few days. Most patients return to light activity within a week and can fly home shortly after treatment.
Transplanted hair usually falls out within the first few weeks before regrowing permanently. Visible results typically appear within three to four months, with full results seen after nine to twelve months.
