Post Hair Transplant Care and Best Maintenace For Hair Loss



As the popularity of hair restoration surgery rises and more people consider hair transplant as viable treatment option for hair loss, the question arises for the safety of the procedure, the post-op care and maintenance of the transplanted hair.

Hair transplantation is a very safe, relatively minor procedure. It s an outpatient procedure that is performed under local anesthesia while the patient is watching T.V., listening to music or just simply falling asleep. Once the hair is harvested from the donor area, the units are cut under the microscopes into 1-4 follicular units. and place into the recipient area according to their size. extreme complications during and after the hair transplant procedure is very rare, and there is very little discomfort at the grafted area. Most hair restoration specialist apply small dressing for the first night,once the dressing is removed a loose hat can be used to cover the area. A post op care is usually given for cleaning the recipient and the donor area.

Small crusts may form on each grafted area, and these can usually be camouflaged by an existing hair that be combed over the recipient area, or wear a hat or a few days after the procedure camouflage products such as Dermmatch, Couvre or Toppix can be used. These crusts will flake off by 10th day after the surgery. The transplanted hair growing from the scalp may initially be shed, however the roots remain and will be dormant for 10-14 weeks, at which time the new hairs will all begin to grow in gradually.

While complications are rare, some side effects such as minor inflammation can occur around newly transplanted hair follicle and usually responds well to warm compresses. The recipient and donor areas usually heal with no visible scarring and are covered by transplanted hair or surrounding hair. Infection is extremely rare, but some people may get mild swelling after the procedure. Patients can return to normal physical activity after a couple of days and resume daily routine 24 hours after the procedure. For extreme physical activity or exercise, it is a good idea to check with your doctor first.

The hair restoration specialist is usually able to anticipate the progression of hair loss of the native hair in the future and may suggest a medical hair regiment routine to slow down the hair loss or additional hair transplant may be considered in the future to address the continued hair loss.
