Shock Loss (Hair)
Reference only — not medical advice. See disclaimer.
A temporary phenomenon following hair transplant surgery in which existing native hairs in and around the treated area shed prematurely due to the trauma and physiological disruption of the procedure. New growth from both the transplanted grafts and the recovering native follicles typically resumes within three to four months, and full results are usually visible at 12–18 months.
