Doing so will help majorly in the recovery process along with cleaning the scalp properly. From the second day, it is also safe and recommended that you use a saline spray to keep your scalp lubricated. This speeds up the healing process. This will also help in removing the scabs that might have formed in the area that has been treated during the process of hair transplantation. It will take a couple of days and your scalp shall clear up.
The first week after the treatment is crucial and you really need to make sure that you follow the doctor’s instructions on care after hair transplant surgery. Depending on the condition of your scalp, the doctor will allow you to resume shampooing, brushing your hair or other hair care methods that you follow. It is also very important to note that you should not dye your hair during the initial stage of recovery. Let four weeks or so pass and then you can dye your hair.
Care After Hair Transplant Surgery
Before the first wash after the treatment, make sure that your recipient area is well-moisturized by spraying it with a saline solution or just water. Care After Hair Transplant Surgery is not only crucial in the process of healing the treated areas but also prevents drying out of these areas which can make you itch the scalp. Do not scratch the recipient area if your scalp is too itchy. Rather, spray ice cold water to cool down the itching.
If swelling occurs, it is very important to note that it is completely normal. Like with any other surgery, swellings do occur after hair transplant procedures as well so, there is no reason for you to panic. Holding ice packs to the area that has swollen up, several times in a day, helps in reducing the swelling.
Most people also get terribly worried when they start losing hair around the treated sites. It is also a very common side effect of any hair transplant treatment and is experienced by the majority of people. This is known as shock loss or telogen effluvium. This hair loss is temporary and there is nothing to worry. Patience is the key and after a period of 6-7 months or a year. The new hair that grows after the terminal hair is lost is going to be permanent and give you the result you need. Let your scalp and hair go through the normal resting phase and have immense patience when it happens.
