Hair Transplant is a surgical technique by which hair follicles from the generous part of your body are taken and placed onto the site of balding. There are a number of possible reasons for hair loss such as age, hormonal factors, pollution, dietary issues, stress or genetic causes. For all type hair loss, hair transplant is becoming a popular solution. Hair Transplant Centre in Delhi has seen a rise in the number of patients since the last decade. However, it can come with some minor side-effects which can be resolved by taking little care.
Why does redness occur?
The transplant procedure involves the extraction of hairs from donor sites on the scalp and planting them at the receiver sites. Redness after transplant occurs due to the extraction of the follicles which leaves behind tiny holes. However, it is not a serious problem to worry about. According to Dr Gaurav Garg, owner of Dermalife skin and hair clinic, New Delhi, the redness generally subsides on its own in 4 to 5 days after the transplant is carried out. It is also noticeable that all temporary side effects of the transplant procedure disappear after nearly 2 weeks and one may not notice any sign of extraction after that.
What are the pre-treatment guidelines after hair transplant?
Hair transplant is a surgical procedure which is why care is of the utmost importance both before and after the transplant is carried out. Hair Transplant Doctor in Delhi recommends the following precautions before hair transplant.
- Patients going for an FUE hair transplant surgery, should not trim or shave their head before hair transplant surgery. Also, if beard hair are planned to take out for the hair transplant, one shouldn’t shave for 2 days before the hair transplant surgery day.
- Do not take aspirin, vitamin E, or any multivitamins for at least 10 days prior to the transplant as they do blood thinning.
- All most all the Hair Transplant Centre in Delhi would suggest not taking any anti-inflammatory medications, not drinking any alcohol and no smoking 7 days before carrying out the procedure.
- Taking a daily dose of 1000 mg to 2000 mg of vitamin C for one week before going for the treatment will help the healing procedure.
- Always inform your doctor if you are taking any type of medicine whether it’s allopathic or ayurvedic or herbal.
What are the post-treatment guidelines after hair transplant?
Like every other surgery, hair transplant also has its dos and don’ts post-treatment in order to ensure a speedy, safe and comfortable healing. By following simple guidelines you can avoid any complications and have hassle-free recovery.
- Patience
The first and foremost caution statement as recommended by Hair Transplant Doctor in Delhi that you have to follow is to be patient for the new hairs to grow in. As they emerge from the scalp, there will be a few acne-like pimples on the scalp. You can apply warm soaks and antibiotic ointment several times a day to soothe your scalp.
- Caring and Cleaning the Scalp
Hair Transplant Centre in Delhi would suggest the special guidelines for cleaning and caring your scalp for completing the treatment. You can get wet your head in the shower with cool to warm water, pouring it over your scalp. Use a mild shampoo, lather it in your hands and gently pat it onto the graft areas while lightly rubbing it into other parts of the scalp, including the sides and back. Gently rinse off the shampoo, and then pat dry.
- Exercise and Work
Any kind of strain full activity like a heavy workout, sport, weight lifting, etc should be avoided for a week. Swimming in chlorinated water is also not advisable for at least 14 days.
- Swelling
Mild swelling may occur on the forehead usually after 2-4 days following surgery. However, this is not a permanent problem or will not leave any lasting effect. Also, swelling can be reduced by applying ice over it.
- Smoking and Alcohol
Smoking and alcohol consumption is strictly prohibited for 15 days to 2 months from the day of surgery.
By following the aforementioned guidelines laid out by the Hair Transplant Centre in Delhi a person can achieve the desired hair growth results within a year of transplantation without any complications and side effects.
