Hair-transplant aftercare: the first 15 days
May 20, 20264 min read
The first 3 days
Sleep on your back with your head slightly raised, and don't touch or scratch the transplant area. Mild swelling and redness in these days is a normal reaction.
The first wash
The first wash is done per the clinic's instructions, usually on day 3, with gentle movements and a special product. Don't rub the skin or use strong water pressure.
What to avoid
For 2 weeks avoid sport, sauna, pools, alcohol and direct sun. The crusts fall off on their own — they must not be picked.
