What Happens After a Hair Transplant?
Understanding the hair growth timeline after a transplant helps set realistic expectations:
📅 Day 1-7: Mild swelling, redness, and scabbing in the treated area.
📅 Week 2-4: Shedding of transplanted hair (Shock Loss Phase).
📅 Month 2-6: New hair starts growing in the recipient area.
📅 Month 6-12: Hair thickens and gains a natural appearance.
💡 Proper aftercare accelerates healing and ensures optimal hair regrowth!

Do’s & Don’ts After a Hair Transplant
✅ Do’s (Post-Surgery Care)
✔ Sleep with your head elevated for the first week to reduce swelling.
✔ Use a mild shampoo after 72 hours (as prescribed by your doctor).
✔ Stay hydrated & eat a protein-rich diet to promote healthy hair regrowth.
✔ Follow the Patented Cyclical Vitamin Hair Loss Program to support follicle health.
✔ Consider PRP or Exosome Therapy after 3 months to accelerate hair growth.
❌ Don’ts (Things to Avoid)
🚫 No touching, scratching, or rubbing the scalp – This can dislodge grafts.
🚫 Avoid alcohol & smoking for at least 2 weeks – These slow down healing.
🚫 No strenuous workouts, swimming, or excessive sweating for 3 weeks.
🚫 Avoid direct sun exposure for the first 2 months – Wear a hat if necessary.
🚫 Don’t use hair styling products (gel, wax, spray) for at least 1 month.
📌 Following these aftercare tips is crucial for a successful and smooth recovery!

How to Boost Hair Growth After a Hair Transplant?
PRP Therapy for Faster Hair Regrowth
💉 How it works: PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy injects growth factors from your own blood into the scalp, stimulating follicle activation and hair regrowth.
📅 Recommended: 1 session per month for the first 3-6 months post-transplant to enhance healing and strengthen follicles.
Exosome Therapy – The Future of Hair Regrowth
🧬 What is Exosome Therapy?
- Uses stem-cell-derived growth factors to speed up hair regrowth.
- Rejuvenates transplanted follicles faster than PRP.
📅 Faster results than PRP – Visible changes in just 2-3 months!
Using DHT-Blocking & Hair Strengthening Products
✔ DHT-Blocking Shampoos & Serums – Prevent future hair loss by protecting non-transplanted hair.
✔ Biotin, Zinc & Omega-3 Supplements – Essential for stronger, healthier hair.
✔ Minoxidil 5% (if recommended by your doctor) – Improves blood circulation to follicles for stronger, thicker hair regrowth.
📌 These treatments work together to ensure long-lasting, natural-looking results!
