Can Shock Loss be Temporary?

Great SITE. Useful info and look forward to my next transplant if I have 1 to be done by you…

A few questions. I been reading about shock loss. In your opinion do most shock loss come back?? If so how long after. If NOT with propecia bring it back?

I did my transplant about a month ago around my hairline and hairs are growing but it’s kind of itchy and a little red still where the graphs where placed. Is this normal cause hair is coming out now?

Last question. I’m 33, dirty blond hair and got graphs in my crown. i can feel hair everythere like a brushcut, and I know it TAKES months to see results BUT what are the chances that the density will cover that crown. Given I have light hair and very fair skinned.. Thx in advance…

Shock loss in the men who are actively losing hair from genetic hair loss is more often semi-permanent or permanent. Some hair may come back, but in my experience it is not common. The use of finasteride (Propecia) will protect the hair in most young men from shock loss and I always insist that the patient go on the medication prior to the surgery for that very reason.

Men with blond hair will often take less hair to cover any area when compared to a man with dark hair and light skin. To be more specific, I would want to know how many grafts you received, what was the hair count, what is the size of the area covered, and what is the weight of your hair shafts (fine, medium or coarse) before I would want to venture a guess about your crown coverage.
