Hair Transplant Aftercare
Hair Transplant Aftercare Guide 2025: What to Expect & How to Heal Faster
Why Aftercare Matters
Your new grafts are most fragile in the first two weeks after a transplant. Proper aftercare ensures stronger growth, minimal shock loss, and natural-looking density. Modern FUE and DHI techniques reduce recovery time — but attention to detail makes all the difference.
Day-by-Day Recovery Timeline
Day 1–3: Healing Stage
- Sleep with your head elevated (45°).
- Avoid touching or scratching the transplant area.
- Spray saline every few hours to keep grafts hydrated.
- No alcohol, gym, or sweating.
- Expect mild redness or swelling.
Day 4–7: Gentle Cleaning
- Start gentle washing with clinic-approved shampoo.
- Use lukewarm water and pat dry only.
- Avoid sun exposure and tight headwear.
Week 2–4: Shedding Phase
- “Shock loss” is normal — new follicles are forming underneath.
- Continue mild shampoo routine.
- Avoid pools and saunas.
Month 2–3: Regrowth Begins
- Follicles start producing visible hair.
- Resume gym and daily routine.
- Optional: PRP Therapy can boost results.
Month 6–12: Final Results
- Hair thickens and matures naturally.
- Follow up with your surgeon for density assessment.
Top Mistakes to Avoid
- Scratching or rubbing grafts.
- Using harsh shampoo too early.
- Skipping clinic follow-ups.
- Sun exposure without protection.
- Smoking or drinking during recovery.
