Yes, it is possible to continue experiencing hair loss after a hair transplant. Hair transplant procedures typically involve the relocation of hair follicles from one part of your body (usually the back or sides of the head, where hair is less susceptible to genetic hair loss) to the bald or thinning areas. These transplanted hair follicles are usually genetically resistant to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is the primary cause of male and female pattern baldness.
Hair loss is often a progressive condition influenced by genetic and hormonal factors. While the transplanted hair follicles are more resistant to DHT and are expected to continue growing in their new location, your existing, non-transplanted hair follicles may still be susceptible to the effects of DHT. This means that you can experience further hair loss in areas that were not treated with a hair transplant.
To maintain the results of a hair transplant and prevent further hair loss, you may often turn to medical treatments, such as finasteride or minoxidil, to slow down the progression of hair loss in non-transplanted areas. Consult with a qualified hair restoration specialist who can assess your specific situation and recommend a personalized treatment plan to address your hair loss concerns.
