after transplant

The way you sleep after a hair transplant may affect the final result of the general procedure. It is essential that you keep your head at a 45 degree angle for the 10 nights the first ones Opt for a neck pillow as sleeping flat can cause swelling and damage to newly transplanted hair. Later, you can choose a more comfortable sleep mode. In the first 10 days after treatment, make sure to sleep with a pillow around your neck and several pillows for elevation. For those who have an adjustable bed, it is recommended to sleep with the back elevated. It is also recommended to try to sleep in an upright position to prevent swelling. Put some pillows under the neck to prevent friction between the implants.

The medications to be taken after the hair transplant may vary. Still, we can define commonly prescribed drugs. The list is inclusive antibiotics in pill or cream form, Painkillers For use in the first days after surgery, and medicines to maintain the hair follicles and hair growth according to the instructions.

One of the main risks involved in hair transplant treatment is the lack of sensation - both in the areas where the hair was taken for the transplant and also in the balding areas of the scalp where the hair was transplanted. Although the numbness is completely natural for a range of Two to three months after surgery, one should pay attention to the situation in which the feeling of falling asleep continues to exist even after this period of time and if necessary, one should contact the family doctor in Israel for an examination.

It is not recommended to cover the newly transplanted hair or use any head coverings for several days to avoid the risk of damage to the follicle and infection. You can start covering your head 7 days after surgery unless your doctor says otherwise.

Smoking is not recommended after hair transplantation. This may severely affect blood circulation which may result in insufficient hair nutrition. Since the postoperative period is very important, you must eliminate any negative effect on the organism in order to shorten the recovery period and achieve better results.

You can sleep normally after about two weeks from the day of surgery. The recovery period is individual and depends on the general health of the patients. However, you must take special care during the most fragile period. Once the swelling has gone and you no longer feel the discomfort or pain around the implant area, you can start sleeping in any desired position.

You can start training two weeks after the hair transplant. Actions and activities that may cause sweating should be eliminated or avoided. Sweat can irritate the sensitive surgical area and cause bleeding and infections. You can continue your normal exercises as soon as you see that the recovery is almost complete.

How to wash:

• Removing the bandages gently - you can moisten the bandages with water so that they can be removed easily.
• The scalp must be completely rinsed under a stream of warm and gentle water.
• Do not bring the stream of water directly over your head - the person who overlaps you will put his hand between the stream of water and your head. Avoid direct and strong current on the new implants.

In the transplanted area - where the implants are exposed and delicate at this stage

• Foam soap - without touching the scalp! Above the head, squeeze the soap from the bottle directly on the head. And don't touch! The foam enters by itself and is absorbed between the follicles, washing away the remaining blood and dirt from the scalp without the need for direct contact.
• Wait with the foam on the area for 20-30 minutes.
• Rinse with a weak stream of water.
• This action can be performed twice on the first day.

In the donor area - the back area

• Wash with water, you can touch the area a little and clean with your hands gently.

Overlap with shampoo - on the 2 areas

You must use the shampoo you received - take a generous amount of shampoo in the palm of your hand, lather it between your hands. and gently pat the whole head (the transplant area and the donor area) extra gently on the transplanted area.

wiping

• After washing, dry the area with a light patting of a towel (without fibers) or absorbent paper.
• In the recovery process for at least a month and a half two months - do not dry your hair with a pen!
• (The heat can destroy the follicles at this stage)

This washing operation on the whole head should be done between a week and 10 days, until the materials run out.

After that, you can switch to overlapping with baby shampoo - for the first six months.

You cannot drink alcohol after the hair transplant. Moreover, it is usually recommended to stop consuming it a few days before the scheduled surgery. Alcohol causes blood thinning which may lead to bleeding after surgery. It is recommended to stay away from alcohol starting one week before surgery and throughout the recovery period. For more optimal results, follow a healthy diet.

The recovery of the donor area for a hair transplant takes about two weeks. After the operation you will have a bandage on the donor area. When it is removed, small dots will be visible on the shaved skin. The healing process will not take too long: as the hair grows, all the post-surgery marks will disappear and aesthetics will return to itself.
