After your journey
Healing Process:
The first 2 days after the operation are considered the most important healing time, so it’s
advised to take this time to rest. Starting from day 3, you can start washing your hair as
advised by the clinic and start the routine below.
Around the third week, you will start noticing some hair loss in the grafted area. This is
perfectly normal, so no need to worry. Starting from the third month, hair in the grafted
area will grow faster and will start covering and evening-out the grafted area.
Starting from the 15th day after the operation, you should take 10 minutes per day to
massage the grafted area. Massage should be done with your fingertips in a circular motion. The purpose is to ease and soften the scalp while stimulating the blood circulation.
First 10 days after the operation:
• On the day following the operation, remove your head bandage
• Follow the doctor’s prescriptions carefully
• Avoid heavy work, stress, smoking, drinking coffee and alcohol
• Avoid rubbing or scratching of the grafted area
• Do not sleep face down
First month after the operation:
• Wash your hair every day with Sebamed Shampoo
• No swimming
• Do not expose the grafted area to sunlight for the first 15 days
Physical Activities:
• You can start exercising 20 days after the operation, just make sure you don’t do any
sport that can hurt your head
