How long after hair transplant can I wash my hair

After hair transplantation, you need to pay attention to the cleanliness of your scalp and get more rest. Do not do high-altitude work right after the operation, as this may cause the hairline to split. You should also be careful when washing your hair. Try to wait until you have fully recovered before washing your hair. This will prevent any conditions that affect your health and will not cause the operation to fail.

1. After being discharged from the hospital, you should take more rest. You should not drive a vehicle or perform high-altitude operations after the operation. When sleeping, you can raise your pillow higher.

2. Do not lift heavy objects or do strenuous exercise within five days after the operation.

3. After the operation, please follow the doctor's instructions and take medication on time, which can reduce postoperative discomfort.

4. Patients who use wigs can continue to use them after at least one week.

5. Please go to the hospital for a postoperative check-up on the second day after the operation.

6. Do not wash your hair within four days after the operation. You can wash your hair with shampoo after four days, but do not rub the implanted area too hard.

7. The scab that grows on the transplant site will fall off naturally 7-10 days after the operation and must not be removed by hand.

8. It is best not to exercise within four days after the operation. After four days, you can do light exercise, and after ten days, you can increase the amount of exercise slightly, but you cannot do strenuous body collision exercises for at least three weeks.

1. Design hair line

The first step is to design the patient's overall hairstyle line. After the hairstyle line is designed, you can further design the hairstyle of the transplanted part. After the design is completed, an instrument can be used to measure the density of the hair at the back of the head to be extracted, and the area required to be extracted can be calculated accordingly. Once all these are prepared, you can use professional instruments to extract the required number of hair follicles under local anesthesia.

2. Hair follicle cultivation and separation

The extracted hair follicles will be sent to the hair follicle cultivation room for cultivation and separation. The separation process requires 6-7 professionals to carry out, and during this period it takes 2-3 hours to check the nature and quality of the hair follicles. At this time, the patient can take a nap in the lounge, watch TV or surf the Internet, or eat a small amount of food.

3. Transplantation is performed in hair follicle units

When 80% of the hair follicles have been separated, the patient can undergo local anesthesia to undergo the follicular unit transplantation procedure. The transplant process is generally longer. The patient will not feel pain during the operation.

4. Postoperative care: You can go home immediately after the operation without bandaging. You can rinse your hair with cold boiled water 24 hours after the operation, and you can wash your hair normally on the 4th day. The sutures on the back of the head will be removed after the 10th day. After the operation, the transplanted hair will temporarily enter a resting period, and new hair will begin to grow after 2 to 3 months. The transplanted hair has normal physiological characteristics, will grow permanently, and will not be affected by male hormone metabolism. In a successful hair transplant operation, the survival rate of hair follicles can be higher than 95%, because for patients with male pattern baldness, every hair is very precious and cannot withstand casual consumption.
