Hair loss significantly impacts self-esteem and can affect both men and women. Over time, more or less effective methods of combating baldness have been discovered and tested.
Hair transplantation is the most advanced method for restoring lost hair. This is defined by moving the hair follicles from one area of the body to another and can be achieved through various modes: flap, strip method (Follicular Unit Transplantation), FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), and DHI (Direct Hair Implant).
Whatever procedure is more suitable, you should always follow your doctor’s hair transplant maintenance advice following this surgery.
Advice to follow
Hair transplantation is an operation; as with any surgery, it takes time to get the desired results. So what should be done, but more importantly, what should not be done after a hair transplant?
After the operation, the hair grafts will fall in the first ten days and up to 6 weeks. After this period, the hair will grow and continue this process for up to a year.
Here are some tips you need to follow if you have just undergone a hair transplant.
Such as:
- Sleep on your back using a medical pillow five days after the operation.
- Avoid bowing your head in the first days after surgery, so the blood pressure will not reach the hair follicles.
- Wear easy-to-wear clothes to avoid reaching your scalp, especially in the first few weeks.
- Avoid touching the scalp and not scratching the first 15 days after the operation.
- Avoid drinking coffee and green tea if the doctor recommends nothing else.
- Avoid swimming in the pool and sauna 15 days after the surgery.
- Do not smoke for at least one week after the operation.
- Avoid physical activities that require effort for about two months.
- Avoid direct sun exposure and hair dye for one month after the surgery.
- Alcohol consumption is forbidden in the first three days after the operation.
- Use very soft towels to dry the scalp after washing.
