Frequently Asked Questions

Follow your clinic’s aftercare instructions exactly. Keep your head elevated, avoid touching the grafts, and rest. Protect the treated area from direct contact, sun, or accidental bumps.

Sleep with your head elevated at a 30–45 degree angle, using pillows or a travel neck pillow. This helps reduce swelling and prevents pressure on the implanted follicles.

Generally, keep your head elevated for the first 3–4 nights. If swelling persists, you can extend this to a week.

Avoid touching the transplanted area for at least 7–10 days. Scratching or rubbing can dislodge grafts and affect results.

The first wash is usually done at the clinic within 1–3 days after the procedure, depending on your surgeon’s preference.

You should only wash your hair yourself after the clinic shows you the correct technique, usually starting from day 3 or 4.

Use lukewarm water and a gentle, patting motion with your fingertips. Avoid direct high-pressure water flow and rubbing movements.

Use the mild, sulfate-free shampoo recommended by your clinic. Baby shampoo or specially formulated post-transplant shampoos are often advised.

Conditioner can be used after the first 10–14 days, focusing only on the lengths of the hair and avoiding the scalp.

Pat your hair gently with a soft towel or let it air dry. Avoid rubbing motions.
