    New hair from FUE will be grow at normal thickness from the start?

    Hello,

    I will have my 2000 graft ARTAS FUE in October (1000 to the crown and 1000 to the hairline) but I am wondering (I tried to find the answer online and nothing) if the hair that will grow from the FUE at the recipient area will be at its fullest thickness from the start. I know I need to wait 3-8 months to start seeing the new hairs but my question is very specific... when the new hair is coming (3-8 months) will be at the normal thickness? or will be very thin and then growing thicker over time?

    Thank you.

    Google hair growth cycle. My understanding is that new hair shafts start thin and wispy and thicken significantly over time. But you will probably get much more info from experts in the field here.

      Transplanted hair caliber begins growing finer than it will eventually be. This is a concern of many patients who have had hair transplant surgery. Hair shaft diameter has a big influence upon the illusion of coverage and that is why hair transplant patients can be disappointed early on. Give it some time. One year post-op is a standard time to evaluate a result, but for some it takes a little longer.

        Hair shaft diameter or what we commonly refer to as hair caliber is the single most critical factor considered when attaining the illusion of coverage. This is why some patients with a high degree of coarseness to their hair shafts tend to require fewer grafts, all other factors being equal for comparison purposes.

        And some docs are of the opinion that development of hair caliber can take up to 18 months post-op to fully mature. From my own observations, this occurs by the 14th month for most patients.

        This is also why the individuals want to wait at least one full year before having a second pass.
