Precise angle and direction control of the recipient site incisions using smaller custom sized blades can reduce the chance of shock loss.<\/p><h6>Procedure Type:<\/h6><p>Different hair transplant techniques, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/hassonandwong.com\/hair-transplants\/fue-hair-transplant\/\">Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)<\/a> and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), might have varying impacts on shock loss. The type of method used for extraction should have little to no effect on shock loss in the recipient area. However, shock loss in the donor area can be affected differently by each method. With FUT, there can be some temporary shock loss above and\/or below the incision that will grow back. \u201cPermanent\u201d shock loss can also occur if a lesser skilled physician transects some of the follicles along the incision line. In this case that area where hair will not grow back just parallel to the scar line can in essence visually increase the width of the scar. With FUE, temporary shock loss can also occur depending on the punch size and other factors including the technology and skill of the extractor. Permanent shock loss can also occur if extraction techniques and technology are poor, the donor area is overharvested or there is a general lack of skill by the operator. At Hasson and Wong, temporary shock loss in the donor area is uncommon, permanent shock loss is averted.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1404414932\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1404414932\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-c68e381 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c68e381\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5c22ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d5c22ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6>Scalp Sensitivity And Shock Loss:<\/h6><p>Some patients will have a more sensitive scalp which may react slightly differently to the trauma of surgery, making them more prone to shock loss.<\/p><h6>Hair Characteristics And Shock Loss:\u00a0<\/h6><p>The type, density, and health of the existing hair can influence the likelihood and extent of shock loss.

As earlier mentioned, thinning miniaturized hair is at greater risk of shock.<\/p><h6>Medication:<\/h6><p>Certain medications prescribed for hair loss (e.g., minoxidil or finasteride) may influence the rate and extent of shock loss. Medications such as XYON Health\u2019s topical dutasteride can impact temporary shock loss.

At a certain length, the hair will obstruct the field of vision and also make it more difficult to assess the exit angle of the hair shaft. To precisely make an incision parallel to the existing follicle, the exact exit angle of this native hair must be determined. Longer hair can distort the exit angle making it more difficult to detect. Therefore, a shave of the recipient area is necessary. Once the hair shaft is shaved to the necessary length, the angle of that hair shaft can be established and the correct incision can be made parallel to the adjacent follicle.

Understanding that shock loss is usually temporary and a normal part of the hair transplant process can help manage expectations and alleviate some of the anxiety. Be prepared for the possibility of your hair looking thinner before it gets better. New hair growth typically starts around 3-4 months post-op, with substantial improvements occurring within 6-12 months. Full results from a hair transplant can take up to 18 months. The use of medications such as topical dutasteride can reduce the severity of temporary shock loss. We can provide personalized advice and support if shock loss occurs. And most importantly, make sure you are in the capable hands of a physician who recognizes the impact permanent shock loss can have on a result and who is adept at preventing it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shock loss (temporary), also referred to as telogen effluvium, is a common and typically temporary phenomenon that can occur following a hair transplant procedure.
