What can you Expect One Month After?
A month after your hair transplant, you can expect to see some exciting initial signs of new hair growth! The transplanted hair follicles will continue to heal and adapt to their new location, and you may notice some itching or sensitivity around the scalp area.
It’s important to continue to follow our expert’s instructions during this time, which may include gentle shampooing, avoiding scratching or picking at the scalp, and avoiding any activities that could cause sweating or trauma to the scalp. You may also be advised to avoid direct sunlight or wear a hat to protect the scalp from the sun.
During this period of time, you may also begin experience some hair shedding, which is completely normal as the transplanted hair follicles adjust to their new location. By continuing to take good care of your scalp and following your expert’s post-operative instructions, you can help ensure the best possible outcome and enjoy a fuller head of hair in the months to come.
What can you Expect One Year After?
A year after your hair transplant, you can expect to see significant results in terms of new hair growth and a fuller head of hair. By this point, the transplanted hair follicles will have fully adapted to their new location and begun to grow new, healthy hair. You may also notice that any scarring or redness around the scalp area has faded significantly.
By this point, you should be enjoying the full benefits of your hair transplant, with a new, natural-looking head of hair that can help boost your confidence and self-esteem. Remember, the results of a hair transplant can be long-lasting, but it’s important to continue taking good care of your scalp and hair to maintain the best possible results over the long term.
Avoid blood thinning supplements or medications
You may not realize that your innocent ginseng drinks, garlic supplement or omega-3s could have a detrimental effect, but when it comes to bleeding, they do. These and many anti-inflammatory medications can increase your risk of bleeding. Unless you have a medical need for a specific medication, those that cause bleeding will be discontinued temporarily. It’s essential that you let your surgeon know about everything you take so they can weigh the risks and advise you about the safest approach.
What to do, and not to do
During Hair Transplant Recovery
- Although your risk of infection will be very low with advanced, micro-surgery techniques, you’ll be given a prescription for antibiotics as a precaution.
- Protect your scalp from the sun
If you are recovering from a hair transplant in the summer, or you live in a warm-weather location, you’ll need to pay extra attention to sun protection for your scalp. We recommend wearing a loose, comfortable hat whenever outdoors for the first two weeks, then apply sunblock liberally throughout the following year. - Avoid scrubbing
Hair transplant surgeons will usually advise a spray on shampoo for a few days after the procedure so you can avoid the pressure of water and shampoo on delicate grafts. Patients can wash their hair gently within a few days. However, this needs to be done with clean water, and no scratching or rubbing at the hair grafts. Specialized hair growth shampoo like Revivogen Bio-Cleansing Shampoo and Thickening Conditioner are often recommended to feed the scalp with safe, nourishing cleansing care. - Don’t dye your hair for 6 to 8 weeks
If you color your hair, it’s advisable to avoid it within a week or two before the procedure, and for 6 to 8 weeks during hair transplant recovery. In Toronto, hair restoration clients are advised to use hair colouring agents which are gentle and safe, and only after their surgeon has cleared them. The above do’s and don’ts will be customized by your surgeon. Depending on your health picture, your procedure and needs, you could have receive other instructions as well.
