When the hair loss condition goes out of control, people looking for a permanent solution are the only option left. What could be better than a hair transplant? Though the success rates of a hair transplant treatment are huge, only a few people go with the hair transplant procedure. The Internet is full of myths and facts about hair transplants. Some of them are not even true. It is the biggest reason why most patients fall for these false presentations about hair transplant treatment. Let’s uncover the absolute truth behind some of the popular myths: ## Does Hair Transplant Procedure Give Instant Results? No treatment can give you overnight results. The first step to getting a successful hair transplant is to set realistic expectations. Once the surgery completes, it takes around 4-7 months to notice consistent hair growth. In some cases, the period goes to even 9-11 months. There are cases where patients also have experienced hair falling out during the shock of the sleeping phase, it’s normal! After all, it takes time for the well-anchored root to develop that provides natural-looking results and blends in ideally with your existing hair follicles. ![Hair Transplant Results After 5 Months](https://blog.dhiindia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Blog_Image-2.jpg?width=591&height=296&name=Blog_Image-2.jpg) ## Is Hair Transplant Procedure Painful?
