Hi all,
I'd like to share my experience and see if some of you guys went through the same process and eventually found some solution or could give advice…
Ok, So I got a hair transplant @ASMED back in Feb 2013, 3000 grafts on the first third of the scalp.
Got very happy with this transplant, got a huge growth rate on the transplanted grafts, and very happy with the cosmetic improvement, until a few month ago...
So it's been 5 to 6 years I had this transplant, and back in October 2018 I start to notice thinning of my hairs. And today I can see that almost the entire transplanted hair are thinning and falling…. The bad trip is back….
Have some of you experience the same ?
I got a theory for that, from what I understand, when transplanted, a graft, whatever its current state (Anagen, Catagen or Telogen), it's reseting its state to a dormant Telogen phase then starting a new cycle and regrowing after 3 to 4 months (the Telogen duration). Thus, if I'm not wrong, all the transplanted grafts are kind of all synchronized, all starting in a 3 to 4 months time window a new cycle (starting anagen).
Now after 5 to 6 years (anagen average time is btw 2 to 7 years), they switch to catagen (3 to 4 weeks) then Telogen (so shedding for 3 to 4 month) and hoppefully start a new Anagen cycle.
This is the theory I have to explain that.
But this would imply that all the transplanted heads would behave the same… and I have not read anything like that on the internet…
Any comment would be appreciated !
ciao
