After the hair transplant

The biggest part of the treatment is the hair transplant and you can already look forward to the results. However, you must pay attention to self-treatment after the operation. Where there were previously bald patches, new hair will grow after a few weeks, which you can look forward to. The wigs and toupees you used to wear because of your hair loss will become a thing of the past and your new hair will give your head a natural and healthy look. The donor area will also recover in a short time and you will never be left bald. You don’t have to think about scars, because there are none in the end. The areas where hair has been transplanted are much more sensitive and need more time to heal. But here too, the scab formed by the dried blood will begin to dissolve after just 10 days and you can get back to enjoying your everyday life.

Healing times are usually fixed. In the first few days after the hair transplant, there may be slight bleeding in the donor area. This is normal until a scab forms. After the scab has formed, there is no more bleeding. The procedure should always be carried out by a specialist. As long as the aftercare is carried out carefully and the procedure is performed by an experienced team, the operation will not leave any scars. At the end of the 12 months you will achieve full and thick hair.

The following hints and advice

After the procedure, you will be given a cap that is pulled over the bandage on your head and neck to protect against external influences. You can remove this cap at home. Do not touch the newly transplanted hair follicles. The evening after the operation, it is advisable to sleep on your back if possible. You can use a neck pillow for this and the bandage on your neck can be removed the next day without any problems. You should use the medication provided for the first five days. Please follow the specialist’s instructions. Alcohol, aspirin or tobacco should not be consumed in the first week after the operation. Some patients may experience slight swelling around the eyes and on the face after the hair transplant. The swelling will subside after 3 days. The swelling is caused by the anesthesia and gravity. Taking the medication correctly reduces the swelling. You will be well recovered the day after the treatment. There will be no obstacle to your departure. After one month you can resume your sporting activities. Contact with water and the sun is also possible afterwards. Don’t forget a hat or sun cream.

Tips for proper hair care after professional hair transplantation

The first day after the transplant, the hair should be washed as directed by your doctor. A lotion is applied and after 45 minutes of exposure, the hair should be gently rinsed with clear lukewarm water and washed only with a medicated shampoo. This process is usually repeated for 10 days. Hot water and vigorous rubbing or scratching should be avoided. Light massages with the fingertips on the scalp after the eighth day support the blood circulation of the skin, which makes the scabs come off more easily. Physical exertion, chemical additives such as hair gel or spray are not recommended in the first two weeks after treatment. If you follow the instructions, you can see the wonderful results of the transplant after just a few weeks and look forward to the results after just twelve months.
