I had a procedure when I was about 22 and what I remember you have scabs for about a week. When the week is up your scabs are gone your
transplanted hairs blend in with your existing hair with no sign of a transplant. After a month the redness at the back of your head fades away. (This is covered by your hair so it isn’t really noticeable)
I was a bedroom boy for a week (got bro/sisters I didn’t want knowing). I told my parents I was getting the procedure and they were helpful/understanding. They really did help in bringing food up and telling me the coast was clear to go toilet etc. I just made out I had the flu. No one was none the wiser.
In fact I was doing my apprenticeship at the time and I was at college the following week. It just looked like I buzzed my head.
View my profile I do believe I posted a thread on it.
