There are some rules to be followed in order to achieve a more comfortable recovery process and successful results after hair transplantation. It is important to follow certain rules in order to get maximum efficiency from the hair transplant procedure, especially in the first two weeks after the hair transplant operation. During this critical period, you can maximize the results of the operation by taking your doctor’s recommendations into consideration. We have brought together the points to be considered in the process after hair transplantation and recovery tips with a timeline.
After the hair transplant operation, the transplanted hair grafts go through a series of phases before reaching the desired results. Hair growth can usually take about a year or a little longer.
In the first days of the operation, mild swelling, itching and pain may be felt in the intake and transplantation area. These symptoms usually resolve within a week. Redness and crusting usually disappear by the 15th day.
After about three weeks, a slight loss of transplanted hair may occur. This is a normal process and a temporary sleep phase.
Within the first few months, patients may start to see new hair follicles from the scalp. This process varies from patient to patient, but is seen on average in three months. The new hair may be thin, but will begin to thicken.
In the fifth and sixth months, new hair growth increases and the hair begins to thicken.
Between six and ten months, patients usually notice a marked difference. Hair grows longer, thicker and the overall density increases.
After one year, patients usually achieve their desired results, but recovery can take longer than a year, especially for transplants in the vertex area.
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:
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.

I researched a lot of hospitals and doctors before my hair transplant operation and I met esteworld hospital with the recommendation of my friends. I met a very caring and friendly team. They were very attentive before, during and after the operation. My operation was also very healthy. Thank you again to all esteworld hospital staff and Burak Hoca
I had a hair transplant at Esteworld on 9.8.2023. I traveled from Australia and was taken care of by the clinic from the moment I arrived. The staff and team were always extremely friendly and professional. Communicating with Hemra from overseas was excellent and Ceylan (English translator) made sure I was well looked after while I was at the clinic. I am still waiting for the final result, but so far everything has gone perfectly.
They follow the process from the first day to the last day perfectly. I had the procedure on the recommendation of a friend and I can recommend it to those who have hair problems with peace of mind. Thank you very much to the Esteworld family.

After the process is over, they do not stop communicating, they are in constant communication and inform what needs to be done. I thank all the employees again.
