It’s not often you get to see how a hair transplant looks two years after the procedure. It’s important to remember that a hair transplant is a permanent solution. As you can see from our client James, two years after his Turkey hair transplant he has a full head of healthy, great-looking hair!  

James had just under 4,000 hair grafts to achieve his new look, and the results speak for themselves. In this video, you can see how confident and happy James is with his hair transplant outcome.  

Here’s what he says about his Turkey hair grafting experience with Este Medical Group: “Este has changed my life for the better. I’m happy that I went with a hair transplant with Este Medical Group. I found the Este Turkey team professional, and they did a great job looking after me. The Este post-transplant aftercare is second to none.”

See New Hair Regrowth Sooner Than You Think!  

Of course, you don’t have to wait two years to see your new hair grow in. Most hair transplant recipients see full results within 8 to 12 months after their initial graft procedure. In many cases, new hair growth becomes more natural looking and visible as early as the 3 to 5 month mark, with thicker, more natural coverage developing over time.  

It’s important to remember that each person’s hair growth journey is unique. Factors such as your natural hair growth cycle, age, and lifestyle habits can influence how quickly you see the final outcome. Regular post-transplant aftercare and healthy habits, such as eating a balanced diet and avoiding stress, can also help support faster hair transplant recovery and faster hair regrowth.  

At Este Medical Turkey, we guide you through every stage of your hair restoration process so you can enjoy visible, lasting results with confidence.

‍Hair Transplant Growth Timeline: What to Expect After Hair Graft Procedure

It’s completely normal to be eager to see results after your hair transplant, but healthy hair regrowth takes time. Each person’s timeline can vary. Here’s a general guide to what you can expect following a hair graft procedure:

• After Weeks: Some hair shedding of transplanted hairs is normal — this is part of the process as your scalp heals and new hair follicles anchor and prepare to grow (see hair transplant shock loss).
  
• After 3 Months: Encouraging signs of transplanted hair regrowth starts. The new hairs can look thin and soft at first. Hair will get thicker and straighter with time. The transplanted area may look patchy because new hairs are just emerging and may mature at different rates, which is a normal and expected part of the process.
  
• Around 3 to 5 Months: Noticeable hair growth begins. You’ll see improved density and coverage as new hair continues to strengthen. The transplanted area will start to look less patchy as more hair follicles enter their active growth phase. Overall hair coverage will appear noticeably fuller, though the new hair has not yet reached full maturity.
• At the 8-Month Mark: Significant results are visible, with thicker and healthier strands emerging. New hair should look and feel more natural.
  
• Around 12 Months: Full results are typically achieved. Your new hair will have natural volume, density, and style versatility.
  

Consistency with aftercare and post-surgery treatments like red light therapy and PRF hair injections, along with a healthy lifestyle will help support the best hair graft regrowth results. New regrowth can take several weeks to months, so patience is vital within the first 3 to 5 months after a hair transplant surgery.

Tips on Caring for Hair Transplant: The Key to Lasting, Healthy Results‍

Following the proper post-transplant hair care routine recommended by your hair surgeon is essential for ensuring your new hair grows strong and healthy for years to come. Each stage of recovery requires special attention to protect delicate hair grafts and support optimal regrowth.  

Immediate Post-Transplant Scalp Care: The First 24 Hours 

Right after surgery, your scalp and newly transplanted follicles are highly sensitive. Dedicated care during this period is key for long-term success. Avoid touching, pressing, or scratching the transplanted area. Keep your scalp as untouched as possible so the grafts can set securely. Use any prescribed medications or doctor recommended topical solutions or serums to reduce inflammation, and sleep with your head elevated to minimise swelling.  

Gentle Care Phase: Within One to Two Weeks 

When washing your hair, use a mild, pH-balanced shampoo recommended by your hair graft specialist. Avoid scrubbing — instead, gently dab and pat dry. Protect your scalp from direct sunlight, intense physical activity, and harsh weather. Only use products approved by your hair transplant doctor to prevent irritation or damage.  

Diet & Lifestyle for Healthy Hair Post-Hair Transplant  

A balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins A, C, and E, and minerals such as zinc and iron helps nourish your new hair. Add foods like leafy greens, eggs, fish, and nuts to your meals. Staying hydrated also supports scalp moisture and improves blood circulation — both vital for scalp and hair follicle health.  

Long-term success depends on maintaining gentle scalp care, a nutrient-rich diet, and follow-up with your hair restoration team in Turkey or back home with Este Medical UK. By following these steps, you’ll protect your results and enjoy thicker, healthier hair for years to come.
