Choosing a hair transplant is an important decision; you need to not only think about whether this option is right for you, but also make sure you are protecting your investment. After all, the last thing you want is to find that your hair doesn’t end up looking any better after spending time and money on a hair transplant.
To help you make sure you give your hair transplant the best possible chance, here are some dos and don’ts to keep in mind after your hair transplant.
Minimize physical activity
For 14 days after the hair transplant, you should make sure that you do not exercise or do anything too strenuous. You should try to rest as much as possible. During the first week after the transplant, you should try to keep your activity to a minimum. This means that you should not do sports. As long as you can be active, you shouldn’t lift or bend too much.
Follow the care
After the hair transplant, the doctor will issue you an individual document regarding further care. You must do your best to follow these instructions. They are here to help ensure that your graft takes root and that your results are the best. If you have any questions after you leave the clinic, you can contact us at any time.
Always wash your hair thoroughly
You can wash your hair after the transplant; in fact, it’s a good idea to remove any blood or scabs from your skin. However, you should not pull or rub too hard, as this can correct the position of the transplanted hair and may increase the healing time. In your care document, we will recommend the best shampoo for washing your hair after a hair transplant.
Try to eat right
Eating right is a great way to stay healthy and recover. Proper nutrition will also help keep your hair in good condition in the future. You should make sure that you have a balanced diet that is rich in nutrients.
Think about your sleeping position
You should make sure you sleep with your head elevated after the transplant. This is done to reduce swelling, so you don’t have to worry about increased pressure. Your head should be elevated to about 45 degrees, which means you need to have plenty of pillows, or you need to find an alternative to sleeping on your bed.
The main thing is to properly take care of yourself and your new hair. This way, not only will you feel better during your recovery, but you’ll also be happy with the fantastic results of your hair transplant.
