The common belief is that hair transplant results usually become noticeable within a year of the procedure. While this information is not incorrect, it is also not entirely accurate. Hair transplants can appear at any time, whether within a few months or even after a full year, as each case varies from another. Through this article, let's learn about what happens a month after hair transplantation and when the results usually appear.

In the beginning, our advice is to be patient and follow up with Dr. Ahmed Mekkawy during the recovery period until you achieve the desired results.

• During the first week, there may be some blood clots that appear as tiny dots on the scalp and will disappear within a week with hair washing.

• It is normal to experience some swelling in the head due to the extraction, transplantation, and anesthesia process. Dr. Ahmed Mekkawy will prescribe some anti-inflammatory medications to alleviate these effects as soon as possible.

• You may feel some itching or irritation in the back of your head. You can apply saline water and take the prescribed antihistamines to relieve this sensation. Do not scratch your scalp under any circumstances.

• Feeling stiffness in the scalp is also normal. You may also experience numbness in specific areas of your head, which usually disappears over time.

It is normal to have scabs on your scalp in the areas where hair was transplanted and where hair follicles were extracted. You may also notice some redness in some of these areas during the first two weeks after transplantation. You can apply Aloe Vera gel or prescribed moisturizing and soothing creams by Dr. Ahmed Mekkawy to the donor area to reduce the severity of the redness slightly.

After three weeks to two months, most cases experience shedding of the transplanted hair. During this stage, the hair shafts fall out, but the hair follicles remain and begin to stabilize in the transplanted areas until the hair regrowth occurs again over several months. Usually, the doctor advises patience during this period to strictly adhere to his instructions until the hair starts to grow again.

Around three months, the hair starts to grow, and the final results gradually appear. The swelling will disappear completely, and the bruising marks will fade away. The hair may initially appear weak or thin, but the results will improve over time.

Between the fifth and sixth months, you will notice longer and denser hair growth and the results will stabilize within eight months or a full year in most cases. Once the hair transplant results have stabilized, the follicles continue to grow as a natural part of the transplanted areas, and the results last without the need for any additional procedures in the future. For more information about what happens after one month or within several months after hair transplantation, contact us or schedule a consultation with the best hair transplant doctor, Dr. Ahmed Mekkawy.

 

 

Hair transplantation is no longer limited to scalp hair only. The available techniques now allow for eyebrow and beard hair transplantation as well. Have you ever wondered about the cost of beard or facial hair transplantation?

 

Beard hair transplantation is performed using the follicular extraction technique (FUE). This technique is characterized by not requiring surgical intervention and not leaving any scars behind. It also does not require a long recovery period. The main factor that distinguishes recent beard hair transplantation procedures is that their side effects have become negligible. You can now have a natural-looking transplanted beard in a few hours and return home on the same day without the need for general anesthesia or staying in the hospital after the procedure.

 

The most commonly used technique for beard hair transplantation is the follicular extraction technique (FUE), as mentioned before. It starts with sterilizing the back of the head or the donor area and then applying local anesthesia before extracting the necessary hair follicles for transplantation to the beard area. After the extraction of a sufficient number of hair follicles, the doner area is covered with some dressings, and the procedure moves to the second stage.

In this stage, hair follicles are transplanted to the beard area one by one, and these follicles are distributed in a specific pattern so that they grow naturally without any visible signs of hair transplantation. Beard hair transplantation takes several hours, depending on the number of follicles to be extracted from the donor area and transplanted to the beard area.

You can leave the hospital immediately after the transplantation procedure is completed. Dr. Ahmed Mekkawy will provide you with all the necessary instructions to ensure the safety of the transplanted hair follicles without causing any harm, including:

• Avoid any strenuous physical activity during the recovery period to ensure sufficient blood flow to the transplanted hair follicles.

• Following a suitable diet and consuming plenty of vitamins and minerals to nourish the transplanted hair follicles and prevent their death.

• Minimize contact with the beard area as much as possible during the first few days to avoid pulling the hair follicles or causing them to fall out before they settle in the beard area.

 

Several factors affect the cost of any cosmetic procedure, including beard hair transplantation. These factors include:

• The number of hair follicles needed to cover the beard area fully and naturally.

• The technique used for beard hair transplantation and the number of hours for the transplantation procedure.

• Hospital, accommodation, and transportation costs.

However, the cost of beard hair transplantation usually starts at $1400 with Dr. Ahmed Mekkawy, and the cost increases with the number of hair follicles required for transplantation.

 

You may experience some swelling or pain, which are common symptoms after hair transplantation in general. These pains can be relieved with painkillers prescribed by the doctor, and the swelling will subside over time. Another common side effect is numbness or itchiness. Itchiness can be relieved with antihistamines, while numbness will disappear after a short period without any cause for concern.

 

The results become visible after six months to a full year. The duration of the results appearance varies depending on the number of transplanted hair follicles, the speed of hair growth, and your adherence to the doctor's instructions.

Many products promise to increase hair density and reduce hair loss, but they are often ineffective. Therefore, the best treatment for hair loss and baldness problems is hair transplantation, which provides a permanent solution. In this article, we will give you information about hair transplantation prices in Egypt and what to expect during the procedure.

 

Hair transplantation techniques have evolved over the years to suit different cases and minimize scarring or surgical incisions. The techniques for hair follicle distribution have also improved, resulting in natural-looking transplanted hair and a frontal hairline similar to your original hairline before transplantation. One of the most popular techniques used in hair transplantation today is the follicular extraction technique, known for its remarkable results. This technique is performed under local anesthesia and does not require any surgical incisions, leaving no scars behind. It has a success rate of over 99%.

 

The hair transplantation process starts with shaving the back of the head so that the hair follicles are very short, making them easier to extract. Then, the donor area is sterilized before the extraction of hair follicles takes place. Once enough hair follicles are extracted from the back of the head individually, the process moves on to the next stage.

The next stage involves sterilizing the recipient areas where the hair will be transplanted and creating tiny channels for the hair follicles to be implanted. The hair follicles are then transplanted into these channels one by one. The extraction-based hair transplantation procedure takes between six and eight hours. There can be a short break between the first stage (extraction) and the second stage (transplantation), and it is possible to leave the hospital immediately after the procedure following some post-operative recovery instructions from Dr. Ahmed Mekkawy.

 

The prices of hair transplantation in Egypt vary depending on several factors, including:

• The type of technique used, whether it is the follicular extraction technique using a Choi pen (DHI) or other tools.

• The number of hair follicles to be transplanted to cover the areas affected by hair loss and baldness and the size of the areas to be covered.

• The costs of the hospital and the medical staff assisting the doctor during the transplantation.

• The costs of accommodation and transportation during your visit to Egypt.

 

These factors differ from case to case, but usually, the prices of hair transplantation with Dr. Ahmed Mekkawy start at $1500, including accommodation and transportation. Additionally, you will receive a free plasma session and all what you need during recovery. There may be some additional costs, such as the expenses for medications needed for recovery, including antibiotics, pain relievers, and anti-inflammatory drugs to alleviate swelling and bruising.

 

• You may experience mild pain accompanied by swelling and bruising, but these can be managed with pain relievers prescribed by the doctor.

• Avoid violent physical activities for several days to ensure the hair follicles are securely implanted in the scalp.

• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight for several days.

• Ensure you consume plenty of vitamins and minerals to aid faster recovery and minimize swelling and bruising as much as possible.

 

In addition to these instructions, Dr. Ahmed Mekkawy will provide you with various other guidelines, such as how to sleep after hair transplantation, how to wash your hair after the procedure, and other tips to help you recover faster and better.

Many people fear undergoing rhinoplasty due to the risks of the operating room. Therefore, using fillers for rhinoplasty procedures has emerged as an excellent alternative that can be performed at any time while avoiding the risks of surgery. Most rhinoplasty procedures with fillers are temporary, and you can learn more about them in this article.

 

Rhinoplasty is a procedure aimed at enhancing the shape of the nose, whether by changing its external or internal appearance. It involves a series of consecutive steps that aim to rearrange and coordinate the bones and cartilage of the nose beneath the surface of the skin. Each rhinoplasty procedure is unique and different, as nose shapes vary among patients, and the doctor determines whether you need the enlargement of of the nasal bone or the cartilage based on your case.

 

• Nose deformities resulting from accidents or injuries.

• Presence of a congenital defect.

• Desire to improve breathing conditions.

• Nose deformities due to genetic or hereditary factors.

• Uneven growth of nasal cartilage during the growth stage.

 

• Local anesthesia is administered before starting the injection, with a waiting period of 20 to 30 minutes.

• Small doses of filler are injected to fill the tissues of the nasal skin in specific locations determined by the doctor.

• The doctor massages the nose to reshape it.

• Avoid touching the injection area.

• Cosmetics should not be applied before 6 hours after the filler injection.

• It is recommended not to wear heavy sunglasses or eyeglasses for two weeks after the injection.

 

• There are no signs of swelling or pain after the session.

• The effects of the session last for 6 to 12 months, after which the patient may need to repeat the injection as the filler dissolves in the body after several months.

 

• Results are visible in the same session.

• Fillers are used to enlarge the nose, treat nasal humps, and correct nasal deviations without surgery.

• The filler increases the height of the nose.

• The filler fills in the depressed areas of the nose.

 

• Fillers cannot be used to address issues such as a large nose or excessive cartilage.

• Filler injections cannot solve internal blockages or difficulties in nasal breathing; they only aim to improve the external appearance.
