What to Know About Post-Hair Restoration Care

Once you’ve made the decision to sign up for a hair restoration procedure, you’ll most likely be very excited to get the ball rolling. Regaining your youthful, full hair can be liberating and not only help you feel better about your appearance, but boost your self-esteem all around as well. However, you’re probably wondering what to expect after the hair restoration. Of course you plan to have a younger looking hairline, but what about care or post treatment appointments? Every patient’s post-surgery care will be different and tailored specifically for their needs; however there are a few things you can expect in most situations.

Healing – Hair restoration is very minimally invasive, but you can still expect to see some very small punctures or wounds on your scalp after your procedure. These will most likely clear up within just a few days and soon they won’t even be noticeable up close. Ask your clinician or doctor before wearing a hat or hair piece as your scalp heals and your newly transplanted hair begins to grow. Some doctors will prescribe or recommend you use a specific shampoo as well.

Appointments – Depending on what procedure you underwent, whether an individual graft technique, follicular unit transplantation or other, your clinician will let you know when you need to come back for a post-treatment check-up. In these check-ups the doctor will ensure everything is growing as expected and that you’re happy with the results.

Activity – You’ll most likely be able to jump right back into your normal routine after a hair restoration. For the first few days you may not want to participate in any extreme activities which involve turning your neck a lot or tension.

Before you sign up for a hair restoration, be sure you find a doctor who will answer all your questions before during and after the procedure. Dr. DiStefano takes pride in assuring all his patients have every question answered so you can see the best results possible after your hair restoration procedure.
