The first few days
Early on, the grafts are settling and the scalp is healing. Gentle handling, following washing instructions precisely, and avoiding anything that disturbs the area are key.
Swelling and mild discomfort can be normal; your surgical team will advise on what to expect.
Protecting your results
In the weeks that follow, protecting the scalp from sun, avoiding strenuous activity as advised, and maintaining scalp health all support healing.
It's also normal for transplanted hairs to shed before regrowing — this is expected, not a failure.
The long-term picture
A transplant doesn't stop existing hair loss elsewhere, so ongoing medical therapy is often recommended to protect non-transplanted hair.
We support recovery and long-term maintenance so your result holds up over time.
