A hair transplant is a life-changing procedure that restores not just your hair but also your confidence. However, the success of the transplant greatly depends on how well you care for your scalp and new hair in the weeks and months following the procedure. At Dr. Dangs Maternity & Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Shivam Dang offers not only advanced hair transplant treatments in Dehradun but also detailed guidance to ensure long-lasting, natural-looking results.
🛌 1. Sleep with Your Head Elevated
For the first 7–10 days, sleep with your head elevated at a 45-degree angle. This helps minimize swelling and prevents pressure on the transplanted area.
🚿 2. Wash Gently and as Advised
You’ll usually be advised to wash your scalp 48–72 hours after surgery using a mild, sulfate-free shampoo. Avoid direct water pressure. Pat dry—never rub or scratch the scalp.
🚫 3. Avoid Sun Exposure and Sweating
Protect your scalp from direct sunlight, dust, and sweat for at least 2–3 weeks. Wear a loose hat or scarf if stepping outdoors.
💊 4. Take Prescribed Medications
Dr. Shivam Dang will provide you with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and pain relievers to prevent infection and discomfort. Use them exactly as directed.
🧴 5. Don’t Apply Hair Products
Avoid using hair gels, sprays, oils, or coloring agents for at least 4–6 weeks post-transplant. These products can irritate the scalp and hinder healing.
🩹 6. Be Patient with Shedding
It’s normal for the transplanted hairs to fall out within 2–3 weeks. This is temporary—new hair will start growing in 3–4 months, with full results seen in 9–12 months.
⚠️ 7. Avoid Smoking and Alcohol
Both can restrict blood flow and delay the healing process. It’s best to avoid them for at least 2 weeks post-surgery.
🌱 8. Follow-Up is Key
Attend your follow-up appointments with Dr. Shivam Dang for scalp evaluations, PRP sessions (if advised), and to track your hair growth progress.
