After course of time (usually 3-5 weeks after the treatment) transplanted hairs will fall out, sometimes linked with small yellow or whitish small tissue. This is not the hair root, do not worry.

Re-growth
• How do I recognize the initial growth of a transplant? 3-6 months after the treatment you see small black dots just underneath the skin. The initial hair growth is very fine caliber. In some rare occasions your skin will be infected because of the in growing hairs trying to push through the skin. If necessary the in growing hair should be pulled from the skin by using a sterile needle

If you visit a sun bed, please cover the recipient area. As soon as the redness has completely disappeared there are no more restrictions.
