Transplanted hair is permanent and can be washed, cut and dyed.
Hair transplants
are a treatment option for hair that is visibly weakening. The results of a hair transplant are considered permanent because they cannot be undone. Within 2 to 3 weeks after surgery, the transplanted hair will fall out, but you should start to notice new growth within a few months.Most people will see 60% of new hair growth after 6 to 9 months. Some surgeons prescribe the hair growth drug minoxidil (Rogaine) to improve hair growth after the transplant, but it's not clear how well it works. Dermatologists (health care providers who specialize in skin) or plastic surgeons (healthcare providers who specialize in reconstructive procedures) perform hair transplants.

The permanent area from which hair follicles are extracted earned its name because hair is genetically programmed not to fall out. One of the main challenges is that there is a limited supply of donated hair on the back and side of the head, so it is rarely possible to replace all the hair that is lost over the course of a lifetime. Most hair transplants are ambulatory surgeries, meaning you can go home the same day as the procedure. As a result, it is sometimes necessary for patients to undergo more than one hair transplant during their lifetime.
Finding an experienced provider who knows how to create a sustainable, natural-looking hair transplant design is essential to being satisfied with the results. Ask for several sets of before and after photos and discuss the method and process of your hair transplant with a potential provider before booking your appointment. After grafting hair follicles into areas where hair is weakening, it takes some time for the skin to heal. This may mean that a second or third hair transplant is required to recharge certain areas in order to maintain the result.
Using medications such as finasteride and minoxidil, which have been shown to prevent hair loss and stimulate growth, can help maintain existing hair. This means that, with the right surgeon and the right aftercare, a FUT or FUE hair transplant can last a lifetime.
