Sleeping
During the first days, sleep on your back with your head elevated to minimise contact with the treated area.
Practical aftercare
Recover with clear guidance
Practical answers for the period after a hair transplant. Always follow your treating physician’s personal schedule first.
Washing
Wash only according to your schedule. Pat gently and avoid rubbing, scratching or directing a strong water jet at the grafts.
Exercise
Resume activity gradually after approval. Avoid sweating, pressure and contact sports early in recovery.
Cap or headwear
Only wear clean, loose headwear when your physician allows it. It must not rub or press on the recipient area.
Sun
Protect the scalp from direct sun and tanning beds. Ask when sunscreen or headwear is safe again.
Itching and scabs
These can be part of healing. Do not scratch or remove scabs; follow the prescribed washing and care instructions.
When should I call?
Contact the treating physician if you develop fever, increasing pain, pus, severe or spreading redness, persistent bleeding, or if you are concerned.
