What is a hair transplant?
In general, hair transplantation is one of the most effective treatments for baldness, which is used in addition to hair for eyebrows and beards. Hair transplants can thicken thin or hairless areas and ultimately restore the self-confidence lost due to hair loss. Hair transplantation is the best and most lasting solution for people who suffer from incessant hair loss, alopecia, and other problems related to hair loss.
Hair Transplant aftercare tips
After hair transplantation, the scalp usually becomes slightly sensitive for a few days.
In addition, you may experience problems with swelling, burning, pain, and numbness in the area of the hair transplant during the first days of your recovery. In this way, in addition to painkillers, your doctor will also prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics. For proper care of transplanted hair, it is important that the medication is taken on time and according to the doctor’s instructions, and that there is no disturbance in the area of hair transplantation. You can return to work a few days after the hair transplant (as determined by your specialist doctor). But do not forget that post-transplant care is essential everywhere.
- Replacement of the bandage after hair transplantation
To prevent infection and keep the incision line and hair transplant site clean, your doctor will place a bandage on the hair transplant site that you should keep on your head for at least one day. The day after surgery, if you wish, you can remove the bandage or you can still keep it on your head so that the hair transplant site does not swell. (In some cases, the specialist doctor may leave the bandage replacement to the clinic staff and postpone it until a few days later.)
- Hair washing after hair transplantation
Two days after the hair transplant, you should clean the natural hair transplant site.
This includes bathing and cleaning the hair transplant area. To clean the hair transplant site, water should be gently poured on the hair transplant site several times to be washed and cleaned. This should be done with great care and in such a way that the shower water does not spill with high pressure and directly on the hair transplant site. To do this, you need to wash your hair a little with the help of a glass or bowl.
Do not use a towel to dry your hair after washing. Because it causes damaged hair to fall out and fall out.
From the third day onwards, you should wash the hair transplant area two to four times a day with shampoo and a mild antimicrobial conditioner prescribed by your doctor. This step is one of the most important steps after hair transplantation. Because shampooing helps you to remove excess skin from the scalp. Also, avoid rubbing the scalp or removing the scalp to prevent infection at the hair transplant site. In addition, you should only use shampoos, conditioners, and lotions prescribed by your doctor. It is very important to use non-alcoholic and medical shampoos and avoid improper washing during recovery. After hair transplantation, you should avoid alcohol, smoking, and some other cases as prescribed by a specialist doctor. You should also take the medication prescribed for you on time. Try not to comb your hair for at least a week after the hair transplant, and after this time, be very careful when combing your hair so that none of the grafts fall out of place.
- Daily activities after hair transplant
You should not do strenuous activity or exercise for at least a few weeks after the hair transplant. In addition to the above, after hair transplantation, you should follow a tip to take care of the hair transplant site while sleeping. It is recommended to keep the head up to prevent transplanted hair from being damaged during sleep. To do this, you can put several pillows or a towel under your head. Note that up to three weeks after the hair transplant, the hair transplant site should not be exposed to sunlight and excessive heat. For this reason, it is recommended that if you go out during the day to do something, do not go out too much and protect your hair from the sun. Swimming during this period is also harmful to transplanted hair and should be avoided.
- Moisturize the hair transplant site after hair transplantation
One of the most important issues and care for hair transplantation is moisturizing the transplanted hair. For this purpose, after completing the hair transplant, the specialist doctor will prescribe the necessary medications for you, which include a saline solution or topical ointment and other health products available in pharmacies. The use of these products should be done carefully and slowly so as not to damage the hair transplant site.
- Hair growth and shortening after hair transplantation
Consumption of vitamins and nutrients after hair transplantation helps hair grow better and prevent damage. You can also use silicone-containing products to limit damage to grafted hair. When trimming or styling your hair, ask your hairdresser to be careful not to damage the grafted hair.
