Diet

Getting into Cars

• Be careful when you get into a car!
• Make sure your head will not hit the door rim or the roof – transplanted grafts can be dislodged
• For the same reason beware of the cupboard door

Sleeping

• there is no need to sleep on sofa or chair
• Just sleep normally in bed
• If any discomfort lying on pillow, just roll a towel under your neck or use a neck pillow
• Take some pain-killer before sleep also helps

Pain Control

• Discomfort after FUE hair transplant is minimal
• We provide simple pain-killers, to be taken as required
• donor wound will heal in one week time

Our Head Band

• The scalp is closed to the bone. Working on the scalp may injury the deep seated nerves and blood vessels
• Damage is prevented by injecting our specially prepared fluid called Tumescence to lift up the scalp, away from the bone
• 3 days after surgery this fluid may drain down to the forehead and around the eyes
• Once happens, takes at least a week to settle.
• Wear our specially-designed headband for 5 days – most of our patients don’t have eye swelling.

How To Shampoo

Improper Hairwash Affects Graft Survival

We strive to get the best possible result for you, taking care of every single step. A transplanted hair needs 7 days to re-establish blood supply. It is very fragile in this 7 days, easily damaged. Improper hair wash will have an adverse effect on the graft survival and final outcome.

Good Hair Wash Is An Important Part of Our Protocol

All our staff are trained how to wash hair for the patients.
The next day after hair transplant, we will demonstrate how to do it yourself at home.

Scab

Scabs are the tiny bit of skin tissue carried by the transplanted hair. The scabs first appear as red dots over the scalp right after the procedure. Over the next few days the scabs will dry up as brown crust over the recipient sites.
Proper and regular will easily remove scabs. We will teach you how to do it. If left alone, the scalp may look unsifghtly and also become itchy

Recommended Shampoo

For first 3 days wash your head gently with any shaving foam .after that use baby shampoo twice daily for first 3 weeks
