Away from the sun after hair transplant!
After transplantation, if the sun directly hits the transplanted area, the sun will negatively affect the treated area. After the hair transplantation you should take very great care that no direct sunlight hits the transplanted area. Even though the sun is very important for us humans to live, it is very important to protect the hair follicles and the tiny wounds after the transplantation.
Does the sun influence the healing process after the procedure?
Since the scalp is very sensitive after the transplant and during the healing process, the sun has a very big impact on the healing process.
Whether during harvesting from the hair follicles in the donor area or during transplantation in the recipient area, minimal wounds occur. Since these wounds are very close to each other, it can be assumed that it is a large Wuınde.
If too early and strong UV rays are applied to the transplanted area, the following complications may occur:
- Healing process is weakened by a sunburn
- Impairment of the transplanted grafts
- Too much sweating under the sun can lead to softening of the protective crusts
- Grafts are damaged hard
If the transplanted area remains under direct UV rays, it may cause sunburn on the head. Sunburn on the head can carry very large complications. One of the complications is inflammation. The inflammation can destroy the grafts and negatively affect the final result.
In addition, it can also lead to pigmentation disorders on the scalp. The consequences have a long-term effect and can affect repeated hair loss.
How can I protect my head from the sun’s rays?
It is important that you do not exert yourself physically after hair transplantation. You should stay in the shade for the first few days to protect your scalp and the grafts as well.
Doctors advise you to avoid unnecessary movements during the first days. You may have to go out in the sun and for this we advise you to wear a head covering.
If you were to wear headgear for the first time after transplantation, it is important to consult with the experts. This is important because the wrong hats can also threaten the healing process.
Headgear for sun protection
It is important to have and wear the right headgear. Wrong such as too tight headgear exerts pressure on the head and this affects the healing process. The growth of the grafts is negatively affected.
If you should sweat, care must be taken to drain the sweat. If you should wear the wrong headgear and a so-called sweat jam should occur, major complications may arise.
During the healing process, you should wear loose-fitting and very light hats. For a fast healing process it is important that the air circulates at the transplanted site.

From when are sunbathing allowed?
The following points are important to be able to say exactly when sunbathing will be allowed again:
- How many grafts were transplanted
- How large is the transplanted area
- What method was used for the transplantation
- How the healing process goes
However, it can be said that sunbathing and direct sunlight for two weeks is an absolute no-no.
After the crusts and dead tissue have fallen away, it can be said that the grafts are now anchored. However, you should still avoid sunbathing and direct sunlight for a month.
For a perfect final result direct sunlight avoided!
During the healing process, be sure to avoid direct sunlight. It is important to wear headgear during the first two weeks, otherwise there may be negative consequences.
Very important to note here is that the headgear is not too tight and the scalp gets enough air. Contact our experts to get one step closer to your dream. We are available for you around the clock!
