After a hair transplant, it is important to care for your scalp properly to create the best conditions for your new hair to grow. Careful aftercare is crucial to maximize the result of the transplant and to avoid potential complications.
In most cases, you can return to work within about 10 days after a hair transplant. It is normal to experience mild redness and shorter hair at first, but these signs usually disappear within a week.
Wait at least 3 months before styling your hair with products. If you must style, saltwater spray is preferred.
On day 2 after surgery, remove the bandage. Do not leave it on longer, as it can dry and stick to the skin.
We recommend sleeping in a semi-upright position, preferably with a neck pillow, for the first 10 days. This helps ensure the follicles are fully attached before the transplanted area touches a pillow or headboard.
3 days after surgery, you start washing your hair gently with the lotion and shampoo you receive from us. Detailed instructions are provided at our clinic. This is then done daily until day 10.
Protect the transplanted area from sun exposure during the entire first year. The goal is to avoid scalp sunburn, so wear a cap if you stay in the sun for longer periods.
After 10 days, you can wear headwear freely and generally touch the transplanted hair without concern.
Avoid exercise or other heavy physical activity during the first month, as both sweat and exertion can negatively affect transplanted follicles.
Avoid immersing your hair in pools, the sea, or lakes during the first month. Avoid sauna throughout the first year.
Wait at least 1 month before getting a haircut after transplantation. For trimming, we recommend not going shorter than 3 mm, and we advise against razor shaving entirely during the first year.
Well-managed aftercare is essential for a good result. Follow the recommendations, be careful during the first weeks, and contact us if you are unsure about anything.
If you have questions about your aftercare, you are always welcome to contact us.
