Recovery Tips After Hair Transplantation
After hair transplantation, there are important factors to be considered for a successful recovery and the best results. The factors to be considered after hair transplantation are as follows:
-
Avoid Contact for the First 2 Weeks!
Hair follicles are very sensitive in the first two weeks after the operation. Therefore, in order for the transplanted hair follicles to hold firmly in place, contact with the transplanted area should be avoided.
-
Avoid Smoking and Alcohol!
Smoking and alcohol can negatively affect blood circulation and slow down the healing process. Therefore, these substances should be avoided especially in the first 7 days after hair transplantation.
-
Do Not Take Blood Thinners!
The use of drugs with blood thinning effect should be avoided after the operation because such drugs may increase the risk of bleeding. If you must use them, remember that you should ask your doctor.
-
Avoid Sauna and Turkish Bath!
Avoid hot environments such as saunas and Turkish baths, as they can increase sweating and blood circulation, which can affect the healing process.
Sunbathing should be avoided after the operation because the harmful effects of the sun can cause irritation in the hair transplantation area. Especially for the first 14 days, protect your head from the sun and wear a hat.
The hair care products recommended by the doctor should be used and the hair transplant area should be gently cleaned.
Keeping the head in an elevated position, especially while sleeping, can reduce swelling and speed up the healing process.
A headband used as recommended by the doctor can support and protect the transplanted area. However, you should keep the headband clean and remove it at night while sleeping. If you use it otherwise, the grafts may be damaged.
After the operation, a hat can be used to protect from direct sunlight with the approval of the doctor. You can start using it after the 5th day after hair transplantation, but be careful not to damage the transplanted hair while using it.
-
Wait for sexual intercourse after hair transplantation!
It is important to wait for the time recommended by the doctor to have sexual intercourse, because the transplanted area may need to rest during this time. Sexual intercourse is allowed for the first 14 days after the operation.
How Should Hair Care Be Done After Hair Transplantation?
When caring for your hair after a hair transplant, it is important to follow the doctor’s recommendations. It is important to use the lotion and shampoo recommended by your doctor. The lotion will improve the scaling problem on the scalp, while the shampoo will prevent hair loss and support the growth of new hair. You should avoid using a comb or heat after washing your hair. Especially during the one-month period, you should be gentle when washing your hair and avoid combs, stylers and heat exposure.
