To help you, we have listed our aftercare tips and must-have products to ensure your hair transplant is a success!
1. ALWAYS follow post-operative instructions
- Your scalp will be sensitive and sore. Ensure that you follow the necessary aftercare instructions to avoid complications and maximize the result.
- Do not wash your hair until day 3. Your bandage must remain in place for the first 2 days. Rinse gently without rubbing or using a shower stream.
- Use ice or an ice pack to reduce the swelling by placing it on your forehead and not directly on the transplanted area.
- Avoid physical exertion or exercise during the first week because your body needs time to recover. This reduces the risk of injury or bleeding.
- Stay out of the sun, do not wear hats, and do not use combs on the grafts for the next few weeks.
- Wait 2 months before dyeing your hair again.
2. Watch out for infection
As with any procedure, infection can occur. Additionally, the scalp is difficult to keep clean due to sweat, loose hair, skin flakes, wound fluid, etc. Clean your dressing according to our clinic's instructions and contact your GP if it appears infected. Antibiotics can help clear the infection.
