Can you touch the transplanted grafts after returning home?
During the first few days after the procedure, unnecessary touching, rubbing, or scratching of the scalp should be avoided. The grafts need time to become properly anchored, so it is important to follow the clinic’s post-operative instructions.
Can poor hygiene at home cause problems after a hair transplant?
Yes. Poor hygiene may increase the risk of irritation or infection. After the procedure, it is particularly important to keep your hands, towels, bedding, and other items that come into contact with the scalp clean and to follow the clinic’s hygiene and aftercare instructions.
Can you wash your hair normally after a hair transplant?
Yes, but the timing and method of washing should follow the instructions provided by the clinic. Excessive rubbing, unsuitable hair products, or an incorrect washing technique may irritate the scalp and unnecessarily affect the transplanted area.
What should you avoid at home after a hair transplant?
You should primarily avoid rubbing or scratching the scalp, strenuous physical activity, and situations that could lead to contamination or irritation of the transplanted area. It is also essential to follow all aftercare and hygiene instructions provided by the clinic.
