Transplanted Hair and Blood Supply

January 26 2009, 8:32 am PT | Posted in: Hair Transplantation

Hello there,

How long does it take for the blood supply to form (vascularization) to the hair follicles that are moved to the recipient area during a hair transsplant?

Thanks.

The blood supply increases as the hair volume increases. When all of the hair is growing from the transplant, the blood supply should be there. In some people it takes weeks, others months.

I thought blood supply didn’t have anything to do with balding?
