Hair transplantation is one of the most effective and reliable solutions for hair loss. At Laser Way Clinic in Albania, we use advanced techniques to deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results. However, like any medical procedure, a hair transplant can come with temporary side effects. Being informed about these effects—and how we help minimize them—can make your experience smoother and more comfortable.
Common Hair Transplant Side Effects
Swelling
Mild swelling is one of the most common side effects, especially around the forehead and eyes. Some patients may also notice slight bruising. At Laser Way, we provide clear post-op instructions to reduce swelling, which typically disappears within a few days.
Note: Swelling is temporary and usually does not require medical attention.
Itching
Itching can occur as part of the healing process, particularly in the first week. This is normal and usually resolves quickly with gentle washing and the use of prescribed medications or soothing sprays.
Pain or Discomfort
Some discomfort in the donor or recipient area is expected after surgery. We prescribe pain relievers to manage this effectively. If discomfort in the donor area persists after a week, hydrocortisone cream may be recommended to ease symptoms.
Infection (Rare)
Infections are very rare, especially when proper hygiene is maintained. Choosing a professional and hygienic clinic like Laser Way significantly reduces this risk.
Minor Bleeding
Some light bleeding or spotting can occur right after the procedure. This usually stops on its own or with light pressure.
Shock Loss (Temporary Hair Shedding)
You may notice temporary hair loss, known as “shock loss,” within the first few weeks. Don’t worry—this is normal. Your hair will begin to regrow within a few months, stronger and fuller.
Less Common Side Effects
- Scarring: Scarring is rare with modern FUE techniques, especially when performed by skilled professionals like our team at Laser Way Clinic.
- Folliculitis: This is a minor inflammation of the hair follicles and can be treated easily with topical solutions if it occurs.
