learn Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair is generally permanent, though surrounding native hair can keep thinning.

What are the post-operative care requirements for a hair transplant? Avoid strenuous activities, follow prescribed medications, and keep the area clean and protected.
What are the pre-operative and post-operative care instructions for a hair transplant? Clinics commonly advise stopping smoking and alcohol 1-2 weeks before a hair transplant and pausing over-the-counter aspirin or ibuprofen beforehand, then following the clinic's own post-op routine. Never stop a blood thinner a doctor prescribed you without that doctor's approval.
How should I care for my hair after a hair transplant? Follow your doctor's aftercare instructions, avoid sun exposure, and use gentle shampoo.
