Reading about a procedure is one thing; hearing a real patient’s experience is another. In this video, a patient shares their journey after a natural hair transplant and their first PRP session. Here’s the written companion to what they describe.
After a natural hair transplant, the first days involve mild crusting and careful aftercare, the transplanted hair sheds around weeks 2–4, and a first PRP session may be added to support the surrounding native hair and recovery — with real growth appearing from month three to four.
Dr. Sherif Hegazy’s take: “Hearing it from a patient lands differently — the calm of the day, the early shed that scares everyone, then the slow, real growth. Adding PRP at the right moment supports the existing hair, so the whole picture improves, not just the transplanted area.”
For the detail behind what the patient describes, see the recovery timeline, why PRP pairs with a transplant, and what a realistic success rate looks like.
Yes — transplanted hairs shed around weeks 2–4 while the follicle stays alive and regrows later.
To support the native thinning hair around the grafts and aid recovery — it’s a helper, not the reason the transplant works.
