Understanding the Hair Growth Cycle

Did you know that hair growth isn’t constant—it actually happens in cycles 🔁 The three main phases are Anagen (growth), Catagen (transition), and Telogen (resting). Understanding these phases is crucial for hair restoration surgery, as transplanted hair follicles need to be in the anagen phase for optimal survival and growth. After transplantation, the initial shedding (shock loss) is followed by the follicles transitioning into the anagen phase, with new hair appearing within a few months and continuing to grow and mature over the next year.
