After your FUE transplant, the healthcare professional will provide you with detailed post-op care instructions. For instance, antibiotics may be prescribed for three to five days following the procedure to prevent infections and facilitate a smooth healing process. The specialist will also provide a special shampoo and foam to use on the donor and recipient areas. You will need to avoid headwear for at least 14 days after your hair transplant. As your new follicles will be vulnerable, you should refrain from using hair dryers, applying styling products, or taking regular showers for some time to ensure desirable results. In addition, it’s important to avoid heavy lifting, contact sports, and other forms of strenuous exercise for a month after your FUE transplant. By following the specialist’s instructions carefully, you can facilitate a successful recovery and optimal hair growth.
