Hair Transplant Aftercare in India

Key Steps in Hair Transplant Aftercare

• Keep your scalp clean and dry as instructed by your doctor
• Do not touch or scratch the transplanted area to prevent infection
• Take all prescribed antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medicines
• Sleep with your head elevated for several nights to reduce swelling
• Avoid direct sunlight and strenuous activities for about a week
• Attend all follow-up appointments to track your healing

Aftercare varies with the transplant method, such as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). For example, Alloroots offers detailed instructions for procedures like hairline design and restoration or beard and mustache transplants.

Timing and Recovery Expectations

Healing usually takes 7 to 10 days. Scabs will fall off on their own during this time. Transplanted hair often sheds within the first month, then grows back gradually over 6 to 12 months. Results depend on your individual condition and treatment.

Avoid smoking and alcohol while recovering as they can slow healing. Eat a balanced diet to support tissue repair. Contact your clinic immediately if you experience unusual pain, swelling, or signs of infection.

Supportive Treatments and Follow-Up Care

Additional therapies may boost hair growth after your transplant. These include growth factor hair therapy (GFC) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). These are tailored to your needs and complement the surgery.

Regular follow-ups help monitor healing and adjust care. Trusted clinics like Alloroots offer ongoing support for different transplant types, including crown restoration, eyebrow transplantation, and body hair transplant.
