At DHI Panama, we have a team of hair transplant specialists who use the latest technology and techniques that, together with the physical condition of the patient for the transplant, can guarantee the success of the procedure.
Although the results achieved are in line with the patient’s expectations, what is known as the Shock Phase, Shock Loss or Shedding may occur. A worrying condition for the patient, but this is a common temporary effect in hair transplants.
Shock Phase, Shock Loss or Shedding
As we have noted above, the shock phase, also known as telogen effluvium, refers to the hair loss experienced by patients undergoing hair transplants. This is a normal process so it is not considered a problem. Since the hair follicles go from the development stage to the telogen stage after surgery, the hair falls out at this time. That is, it goes through the natural cycle of the hair, so it regenerates with more strength and quality.
What causes the Shock Loss or Shedding?
There are several factors that can trigger this effect after a hair transplant, so you should consult our hair transplant specialists at the DHI Panama Clinic. But first of all, it is important to emphasize that IT IS COMPLETELY NORMAL.
Most patients are alarmed and worry that their transplant was a failure, when in fact it’s the opposite. After the fourth month, you will begin a new growth process that will culminate in the 14th month with the most voluminous and strong hair you could ever imagine. This just requires patience!
