EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT
Although it is advised to avoid sun exposure for 2 months, you should also avoid direct strong sunlight in daily or work life. It is important to avoid direct sunlight for the first 14 days. We recommend wearing a wide and clean hat that does not press on your head.
SEXUAL INTERCOURSE
It is not recommended for 14 days after the procedure.
CONTACT WITH THE TRANSPLANT AREA
Do not touch the area with your hands in the first 3 days. It can cause infection. Folliculitis, or hair follicle infection, may develop. These are small pink-red formations, sometimes with inflammation. They may be itchy. Do not touch them as it can spread to other follicles.
PRODUCTS TO BE USED
You need to use specific medications and products for washing in the first 3 days and the following 2 weeks. Use the medications provided to you properly and according to the schedule. You will be given detailed information about the medications, including what they are, how, and when to use them. It is advisable to use the recommended shampoos for the first 14 days and beyond. They will be included in your post-transplant set. Depending on your doctor's advice, you may need to use a moisturizing spray.
REST
No strict bed rest is required after the procedure. It is advisable to avoid any activity immediately after the procedure and spend that day and night resting. Your days after the procedure will be comfortable. Although it is not necessary, taking a week off work can help you feel more comfortable and avoid facing numerous questions.
SLEEP
Use a high pillow, or even two pillows stacked (at approximately a 45-degree angle), for the first 3 nights to help reduce swelling in the head area. You can sleep on your back or side, but avoid sleeping face down. Make sure the transplanted area does not come into contact with the pillow. Adjust your position to avoid contact with the transplanted area, and you will be given additional information about this after the procedure.
HAT
A hat will provide protection from both the sun and other environmental conditions (such as rain or dust). If the weather permits and you are indoors, do not wear a hat. You can start wearing a hat from the 5th day after the procedure. Wear the hat lightly on your head without pressing it down firmly. Put it on with both hands gently and remove it by pulling it up with both hands. Be careful not to rub the transplanted hair. Keep the hat clean and wash it occasionally.
WASHING STAGES
Washing and caring for the hair/beard/mustache/eyebrows after the procedure is crucial for the health of the transplanted area. Therefore, follow the rules carefully. Washing days and procedures should be as follows:
