Check out below the measures that are to be taken before and after a hair transplant.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to cover head after hair\ntransplant?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After a hair transplant, your head will feel bondage. For\navoiding risks of infection and follicle damage, using any sort of headwear or\ncovering the transplanted hair for a number of days is not recommended. You may\nbegin covering the head 7 days post-treatment if the doctor doesn\u2019t suggest\notherwise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When can I use normal shampoo after a hair transplant?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No specific shampoo is created for use after getting a hair\ntransplant. But specialists advise using baby shampoo for the initial 7-10\ndays. After 14 days, you may use your normal shampoo to wash the hair. You\nmight then undergo the shedding of grafts as a usual post-treatment experience.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long should I spray saline after a hair transplant?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Right at discharge, you will be handed with a wound care kit\ncontaining a spray bottle having sterile saline solution among other necessary\nthings. You must use it regularly for the next 3 days post-surgery. Wet 2-3\npieces of the given gauze in the solution. Then gently apply these on the\ntreated site for 30-60 minutes twice every day. It\u2019ll keep the site moist and\nquicken the recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What should I do before a hair\ntransplant?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A week before getting a hair transplant, stop having the\nmedications below since these might increase bleeding during treatment. You can\nresume these 2 days post-procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Aspirin<\/li>
  • Anti-inflammatory\nmedications<\/li>
  • Vitamins B or E<\/li>
  • Blood thinners<\/li>
  • Ibuprofen<\/li>
  • Herbal medications<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Don\u2019t smoke at least 1-week post-treatment. Smoking can\nconstrict blood vessels and reduce blood flow to your scalp, mainly because of\nits nicotine content. Smoke contains carbon monoxide that reduces the blood\u2019s\ncapacity to carry blood. These factors may lead to poor healing post-treatment.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Inform your doctor of any medication that you\u2019re already\nhaving or any already-existing health problems which might affect the procedure\nsuch as psoriasis, diabetes, breathing troubles, high blood pressure, asthma,\nsleep disorders, bleeding problems, allergies, a history of keloids or other\nchronic disorders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Consult your doctor before taking any prescribed medicines\n1-day pre-transplant. If you were taking Propecia or finasteride, you might\nkeep up with your usual dosage. You must stop Rogaine or Minoxidil 1 day\npre-procedure and resume after 14 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You need not shave your hair before coming for the hair\ntransplant. The doctor would shave the hair of FUE patients on the morning of\nthe transplant. If you\u2019re having FUE or FUSS, it\u2019s best if you don\u2019t cut the\nhair for at least 2 weeks pre-transplant so that the sews on the donor site can\nbe properly hidden.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On the morning of the treatment, you should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Shower and wash the hair very thoroughly with your regular shampoo. Don\u2019t apply any gel, spray, or other styling product. If you use any wig, hair extension, or other product, take it out before shampooing and wear it again only post-treatment.<\/li>
    • Wear a shirt open at its front having a zip or buttons and comfy loose trousers. It\u2019s essential not to wear clothes which you\u2019ve to pull on over the head. It will prevent the grafts from getting dislodging post-surgery. <\/li>
    • Have plenty of water with breakfast that morning.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      For preventing infections and ensuring a problem-free\ntreatment, you must ask your doctor about safety precautions or check for the\nfollowing signs in his office:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • The procedure room must be sanitized and clean. Also, all the equipment like the surgery chair or light handles must be covered with safety covers. <\/li>
      • Surgical apparatus must be covered and sterilized pre-procedure.<\/li>
      • The doctor and his team must wear safety gear including protective gloves, shoe covers, body gown, face mask, eyewear, and safety cap.<\/li>
      • During treatment, you must not wear street clothes but disposable clothes (that are discarded later) given by the office.<\/li>
      • Afterward, you must get a light dressing for promoting healing and keeping the treated site protected and clean.   <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        How many days to rest after hair\ntransplant?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        After a hair transplant, the surgeon would recommend you to\nwear bandages on the scalp for at least 1-2 days. He might even prescribe an\nanti-inflammatory drug or an antibiotic to use for a couple of days. People are\nusually able to resume work 2-5 days post-surgery. Within 2-3 weeks\npost-treatment, the transplanted hairs shed and new growth begins within a few\n(6-9) months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        How to sleep after hair transplant?<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        The manner of how you sleep after hair transplant might impact the ultimate result of the overall treatment. It\u2019s a must that for the initial 5-7 nights, you rest the head at a 45-degree angle. Use your neck-pillow since if you sleep flatly it might damage the transplanted hair and cause swelling.
