After the hair transplantation, there are some points that the patient should take care in order to be able to manage this process period without any problems and to have healthy hair.
Three days after hair transplantation:
• The patient should be avoided from forcing efforts and sweaty movements since they cause patient getting hot &sweating. Excessive sweating may damage the hair follicles.
• In order to avoid damaging the hair transplantation area, clothes that are comfortable to wear with buttons (like casual wear) is better to preferred.
• After planting, you should use the drug and solution recommended by the doctor for the specified day and in the appropriate dose. You should not drink alcohol during the medication process.
• You may face with ‘’edema’’ formation for a certain period of time after hair transplantation. It's not something to worry about. Swellings disappear within a few days. In this period, keeping the head upright contributes to the reduction of swelling.
• In order to heal wounds quickly, plenty of water should be consumed and fiber- rich foods should be preferred.
The fourth day after hair transplantation:
• Some possible conditions that occur after planting such as wetness in hair follicles, thin bleeding will be left to scab in time.
• If possible, the first -hair- wash should be carried out at the planting centre. If it is not, the shampoo recommended by the doctor should not be used. After the first wash, the hair should be washed once a day for 15 days period.
• The head must be protected from possible impacts (hit).
• It is recommended to wear a dark-coloured hat when going out on sunny days.
• The care products that re recommended by the specialist –doctor- should be continued to administrate.
Fifteen days after hair transplantation:
• The healing (recovery) process is completed at this stage.
• Small redness, pimples may be seen on the scalp. If personal hygiene is paid attention, then, such type problems will disappear over time.
One month after hair transplantation:
• Generally, one month after hair transplantation, shock hair loss occurs and mainly 80% of the hair is lost.
Why shock shedding occurs?
In the growth cycle, when the hair starts to grow, there are hair strings on the roots where the transplant process takes place. After the grafts placed in the area where hair loss is experienced, they adapt to the planting places and shed the hair strands on them and enter the preparation stage for the production of high quality hair strands. With the closing of the channels where the roots are placed, the hair fibres are broken and shed from their places on the skin. The degree of spill varies from person to person. It is not only a process specific to hair transplantation. Eyebrow, moustache, beard planting operations may also be experienced shock shedding.
• In order to strengthen the hair, serum and medicines can be used under the supervision of a specialist -doctor-.
• Daily routine for hair washing can be followed.
