Hair Transplant Before and After

Hair transplant before and after — a real timeline

This page answers the question every patient asks: how hair looks before and after a transplant and how long the final result takes. At Rubenhair in Riga, hair grows back on a biological schedule, and understanding it helps set realistic expectations.

The first days

Small crusts appear around each graft and fall away within about ten days.

1 month

Many transplanted hairs shed — an expected "shock loss" phase; the follicle stays in the skin.

3 months

Fine new hairs appear along the hairline and treated zone.

6 months

Visible density returns — usually 60–70% of the final result.

12 months

Hair reaches full length and density — this is the true "after" photo.

To compare before and after fairly, photograph hair in the same light and angle. See our results gallery.
