Your Questions, Answered
-
At Opulence Chicago, we give an estimate based on the size of the desired coverage area. We always safely harvest as many grafts as we can to ensure optimal coverage. If we are able to get more grafts than estimated, you are not charged for them!
-
Procedures generally begin in the morning and typically finish between 2 and 5 PM, depending on the number of zones treated. We provide lunch on the day of the procedure, and there are no travel restrictions afterward.
-
The newly transplanted hair follicles fall out, usually within 2–6 weeks after your procedure. This is a temporary phase the new follicles are adapting to their environment. New hair will grow back after 3 months.
-
The first 14 days you may have some scabbing and redness. You can resume light activities after a few days and normal activities after 2 weeks. The new hair starts to grow around 12 weeks out and continues for the next 12-15 months!
-
After your procedure, we offer comprehensive post-op care, including 24/7 access to our medical team for any questions or concerns. We also provide a detailed aftercare kit to support your recovery and optimize your results. We check in with our patients at every 3 months to maintain consistent follow up.
-
We offer free consultations for all new clients. Our expert team is dedicated to understanding your unique concerns, giving personalized advice, and helping you make informed decisions. We appreciate your trust and are committed to helping you reach your aesthetic goals with confidence.

Hair Growth Timeline
-
These first three months are the most frustrating phase of your hair transplant recovery.
Approximately 4-5 days after the procedure, your newly transplanted hair in the recipient area(s) will begin to shed as the scabs fall off.
Our hair grows in alternating cycles. The act of transplantation causes the hair shafts to fall out and enter a dormant phase. This does not mean that the implanted follicles are lost. They are still safely embedded in the scalp and will start producing again after the dormant cycle is over.
Once the hair has been shed, the follicles enter a resting phase. This lasts about 2 to 2.5 months. Please note that not all hair falls out and rests at the same time. This is a process over time, meaning your recipient area may look patchy for fairly long stretches.
-
We have to rely on the natural growth to take place, and of course hair doesn’t grow all that fast.
About 3-4 months post-op marks the beginning of real growth. At first, the new hair coming in may be thin and curly, but don’t worry – it will thicken and straighten out as it grows longer. Again, do not get discouraged by the fact that the transplant area may look patchy at this stage. This is caused by the different stages of growth cycle within this area.
-
Many patients see really good results around 6 months after their procedure.
However, there is still a lot of growth ahead of you. In fact, at 6 months the most noticeable growth and thickening of the transplanted hair begins. This period is also called the hair busting stage. Finally, your new hair grows normally at the same rate as your other hair, about 1-2 cm per month. This means your transplant area will continue to thicken at a nice rate.
-
Your hair will continue to thicken through this phase.
This is also an exciting time to think about styling your hair.
After 12 months, we consider your hair transplant recovery to be complete, and typically schedule an in-office follow-up visit to measure results.
In reality, your hair may not stick to that exact schedule. Growth rates differ from person to person. And many patients experience growth and thickening to continue until 14-15 months after their procedure.
The frontal areas like hairlines typically also grow faster than the crown.
-
The hair in the donor area begins to grow immediately after the transplant, since it doesn’t experience any shock loss. This means that the donor area (back of the head) will be covered with new growth in about a week.
By the way, some patients are concerned about the thickness in the donor area. Yes, it does get thinned out by taking hair from it, and that is the reason our team needs to make sure you have enough donor hair for the number of grafts you are planning to transplant. We make sure that your donor area retains a full enough look for best overall results.
-
All hair restoration patients will require regular maintenance. Not only to help the health of the transplanted hair, but also the non-transplanted hair. Your team will advise you on spacing your maintenance services like PRP or De|Rive, but it is important to be consistent for optimal results!
