If you are over 30, the risks of shock loss after a hair transplant decrease with each year over 30, so a 35 year old will have significantly less risk of shock loss than a 30 year old, and 40 even better. This is because the miniaturization that is present in younger men, is significantly […]

It doesn’t make sense to lose hair in the crown when I got a hair transplant in the front not the crown. The anesthesia alone can cause shock loss even if you haven’t done any hair transplants in the crown. If you were taking finasteride, it probably would not have happened as finasteride protects against […]
From my understanding hair that falls out due to shock loss usually grows back (in the recipient area) unless the hair is weak and almost ready to not grow again (which is usually right next to the area of transplantation) . So my question is since you can remove hair follicles could you remove the […]
Hi all, I am recovering from shock loss on my frontal hairline – 7 months post hair transplant. When I stand very close to a mirror, under light, I see many fine, thin, hair sprouting from the shock loss area. When I stand farther away, the hairs cannot be seen and my shock loss area […]
I also experienced shock loss behind the native grafts (even with using Fin before, during, and still on now as a preventative measure). I think this hair is growing back, but there is still significant shock loss apparent. Online I’ve seen reports that shock loss hair should come back anywhere from 3, 6, 9, to even a […]
I am a candidate for a hair transplant but i don’t want to use finasterade or minoxidil. A surgeon told me that the transplanted hair would create a shock loss to my existing hair and speed up hair loss. Is this true? What happens in shock loss? When you have a hair transplant, the native […]
The only way to prevent shock loss (the loss of your native hair) following a hair transplant is to take the drug finasteride prior to the transplant and then after it for a year or more. When this happens in women, there is no known way to prevent shock loss as the mechanism is different
People who have hair transplants shed the transplanted hair and the grafts within the first few months. People with shock loss loose their native hair that remains not the transplanted hair. The native hair is often the hair that is miniaturizing and will eventually be lost
This patient received over 4000 FUE grafts and now has a depleted and permanently damaged donor area. He must wait this out and probably get Scalp Micropigmentation to manage it as I expect this this will be permanent.
Shock loss is very common in men under 30 who have had a hair transplant and are not on the drug Finasteride. Most of the time, Finasteride can help the stop the shock loss from occurring. How common is shock loss with hair transplant from tressless
This patient had shock loss, causing loss of the hairs in the donor area. I am assuming that the surgeon took out too many grafts too closely in that area, which impacted the circulation to the donor area. We have performed thousands of FUE sessions and have never seen this complication.
This could be either shock loss in the donor area or over-harvesting the grafts from the donor area. You will know in about 6 months. If it is shock loss, it should reverse.
Sometines it is difficult to tell the difference between over-harvesting and shock loss of the donor area. After the donor area recovers in about 6 months you will know.
I am 26 years old and had a hair transplant last week and my surgeon recommended that I take Propecia to prevent shock loss. I am afraid to do this because I heard that I won’t get erections on this drug. Is this true? The risks of ED with finasteride is 3-4% while the risks […]
The photo on the left is before the surgery and the photo on the right is after the surgery. The loss of hair reflects shock loss and it could have been prevented with the drug finasteride in 95% of young men who take this drug. This 25 year old male, lost most of his native […]
