The first weeks after a hair transplant: a general care guide

The scalp is sensitive in the first weeks after a hair transplant, and care instructions vary from person to person. The points below are general information; the written instructions you receive always come first.

Topics that often come up

  • Head position and rest during sleep
  • When to wash for the first time and which products to use
  • Protection from sun, sweat and intense exercise
  • Expected temporary signs such as crusting and swelling
  • Planning follow-up appointments

Why individual instructions matter

The technique, the treated area and your skin all influence the care plan. The pace at which hair grows in the following months also differs from person to person. If anything worries you, contact your physician or coordinator straight away.
