What to expect from a hair treatment: Before and after a hair transplant

Hair loss is a growing concern in Argentina and throughout South America. It can affect personal confidence, job performance, and even social life. Fortunately, hair medicine has advanced significantly in recent years, and today there are effective solutions to combat hair loss, such as FUE hair transplants. In this article, we tell you what you can expect before and after a hair treatment at D’Atri Medicina Capilar, where we have been helping men and women regain their image and well-being for over 15 years.

The importance of the initial assessment

When we talk about the before and after of a hair treatment, it’s not just about observing the immediate aesthetic change, but rather understanding the comprehensive process behind it. At D’Atri Medicina Capilar, our priority is to personalize each hair transplant or treatment for hair loss, starting with an accurate diagnosis and a complete evaluation of your hair health.
  • Personalized consultation: Before undergoing hair transplant, our specialists analyze the condition of your hair, your hair loss pattern, your medical history, and your expectations. This first step is essential to determine if you are a candidate for a hair transplant and, if so, to define the most appropriate approach.
  • Detection of causes: Stress, hormonal imbalances, genetic inheritance, and lack of care are common factors that cause hair loss. Identifying them early allows you to establish a preventative action plan and improve hair health before starting the procedure.
This way, you can ensure that the before-and-after results of a hair transplant are highly satisfactory and meet your realistic expectations.

Preparation prior to hair implantation

Once the evaluation is complete, it’s time for preparation. If it’s been confirmed that hair transplants (particularly the FUE technique) are the best option, it’s important to follow certain recommendations to ensure the best results:
  • Avoid harmful substances: It’s advisable not to consume alcohol or smoke at least a few days before the procedure, as this can affect blood circulation and healing.
  • Supervised medication: If you’re taking any medication, it’s essential to discuss it with the D’Atri team so they can make the appropriate adjustments.
  • Hydration and rest: Maintaining a good level of hydration and getting adequate rest helps keep your scalp in top condition.
During this stage, expert support is key.

The day of the procedure: The FUE technique in detail

Hair transplantation using the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique is a minimally invasive procedure that involves extracting healthy follicular units from donor areas and placing them in areas affected by baldness. This results in a long-lasting, natural look. Let’s look at the main steps:
  1. Local anesthesia: For your comfort, local anesthesia is applied to both the donor and recipient areas, ensuring a virtually painless procedure.
  2. Follicle extraction: Follicular units are extracted one by one using high-precision instruments. This part requires the expertise of a highly trained team.
  3. Preparation of the recipient area: Specialists outline the hairline and create tiny holes where the follicles will be implanted. The goal is to achieve an aesthetic result that respects your physiognomy and preserves a natural look.
  4. Implantation: Finally, the follicular units are placed in the selected areas, ensuring proper density and direction of the hair.
The duration of the procedure varies depending on the number of follicles to be transplanted, but is usually between 4 and 8 hours. At the end, you will be given precise instructions for the postoperative period and initial care.

After Treatment: Care and Progress

Recovery after a hair treatment using the FUE technique for men or women is usually quite easy. However, it is essential to follow medical instructions to optimize the results:
  • First few hours: You may experience some swelling or redness in the treated area. This is normal and usually subsides within a few days.
  • Scab formation: During the first week, small scabs will appear in the areas where the follicles were implanted. Don’t worry; these scabs will fall off on their own and are part of the healing process.
  • Visible results: Your implanted hair will begin to grow progressively. Noticeable changes are usually seen starting in the third month, with final results around 9 to 12 months.
  • Postoperative Care: Use products recommended by our specialists for your hair and scalp, and avoid friction or trauma to the area during the first few weeks.
This before and after hair treatment is not only an aesthetic change, but also a boost of confidence that is reflected in the way you relate to yourself and others.
