Drastic Effects of Hair Transplantation
Hair transplant is the most common procedure for treating the hair loss due to aging and genetic issues. Though, the success rate of hair transplantation is up to 98%, still it has many menacing effects on our health. In this treatment, hair follicles are taken from areas having enough hair and grafted into the area having less hair. Furthermore, it is a long-term method and follicles take almost 9 months to regrow completely. But yes, they stay with you for a lifetime just like your natural hair!
My mother got a hair transplant treatment from Dr. Habib Hair Transplant, Peshawar. Right after three days, she felt a severe itching in her scalp. Alongside itching, her hair follicles started swelling. We treated it as a common reaction to a transplant until it got worse.
