HOW TO PREPARE FOR A HAIR TRANSPLANT

To care for the donor and recipient areas, use only the funds that were given to you at the clinic!

After hair transplantation, specialists apply a bandage to the donor area (nape), while the recipient area (area of transplanted hair) remains open for the entire period of rehabilitation. The bandage is removed on the third day.

You can wash your hair 24 hours after surgery. Apply panthenol for 30 minutes, then rinse with saline solution. After that, apply a 3 cm foam shampoo, leave for 3 minutes and gently pat with your fingertips, avoiding transplanted grafts. Rinse it off with saline again.

In the evening after the procedure, start taking medications according to the instructions below.

In the first 5-7 days after the hair transplant, a special pillow-headrest must be used. It prevents the transplanted area from coming into contact with the pillow and fixes the head in a certain position, which helps to avoid swelling and injury to the transplanted hair area during sleep.

On the first night, the headrest pillow should be wrapped in a disposable diaper. After removing the bandage from the donor area, a clean towel or a new disposable diaper should be placed under the head every day.

For the first 3 days, it is recommended to sleep on your back, lifting the headboard or using several pillows to raise your head at least 45 degrees.

There is a bandage on the donor area, which will be replaced by the clinic staff the next day in the morning. If you are unable to arrive, you can change the bandage yourself only if it is very wet.

Finally, the bandage should be removed on the 3rd day in the evening or on the 4th day in the morning, after moistening it with a sodium chloride solution. After removing the bandage, the wound surface will be open, so you need to be extremely careful not to infect it.

Crusts, peeling, single "pimples" and slight itching may appear on the donor area. After 10-14 days, when the crusts fall off, you will see your initial result! If the crusts have not subsided on the 14th day, then it is necessary to wash them off yourself, and it is also recommended to do a light massage in the transplant area.

You can cut your hair in this area with a trimmer and scissors after 1 month, when the inflammation and soreness stop bothering.

Keep in mind that the donor area is fully restored after 4-6 months.

It is recommended to strictly follow the instructions and avoid touching the transplanted area during the first 10 days after the procedure.

24 hours after the hair transplant (in the evening of the next day), you should start washing your hair. During this period, crusts may appear on the scalp, and when washing, you can soften and remove them.

If the crusts still remain on days 10-12, add a light skin massage to the scalp wash in the area of the transplant in the direction of hair growth until the crusts are completely removed. During this period, you will be able to see the primary result!

From day 14, you can use your shampoo, wash your hair in the shower, and wear hats.

The transplanted hair begins to grow a few days after the procedure. Approximately 3-4 weeks after the transplant, the physiological process of renewal and stressful hair loss begins, known as "shock loss."

New hair from the transplanted follicles begins to grow after a "rest period" no earlier than 2-5 months after transplantation. Hair growth will occur in the same way as before the transplant, and over time the process will progress naturally.

After about 8-12 months, all the hair in the transplanted follicles will be completely replaced and regrown, and you will be able to see the final result of your transplant. Cutting hair in the transplant area is allowed only with scissors for up to 6 months.
