What is normal in the first weeks
| Effect | What to expect |

| Swelling of the forehead | Can appear for a few days and settles by itself |
| Small crusts | Form where grafts are placed and fall off within 7 to 10 days |
| Redness | Fades over the following weeks |
| Temporary shedding | Transplanted hairs often shed before new growth begins around month 3 |
| Numbness or tingling | Can occur in the treated areas and usually settles over time |
Rarer problems, and how they are reduced
- Infection: reduced by sterile technique and aftercare instructions.
- Visible donor scarring: HST uses fine micro-instruments and takes only part of each follicle, designed for minimal scarring.*
- Over-harvested donor area: HST leaves the stem cells behind, so the donor area is designed to grow back.*
- An unnatural result: reduced by careful hairline design and placing each graft at the hair’s natural angle.
