Follow the instructions explained by your doctor and use the kit issued after surgery!
To care for the donor and recipient areas, use only the funds that were issued to you in the clinic!
After hair transplantation, specialists apply a bandage to the donor area (the back of the head), while the recipient area (the area of transplanted hair) remains open for the entire period of rehabilitation. The bandage is removed on the third day.
You can wash your hair 24 hours after surgery. Apply the panthenol for 30 minutes, then rinse with saline. After that, apply the shampoo-foam with a layer of 3 cm, leave it on for 3 minutes and gently pat with your fingertips, avoiding transplanted grafts. Rinse again with saline.
In the evening after the procedure, start taking medications according to the instructions below.
Set usage period
Panthenol spray (2 times a day for 14 days)
Baby shampoo (2 times a day for 14 days)
Chlorhexidine solution 0.05% (2 times a day for 10 days)
Ointment for the donor zone (2 times a day for 10 days)
Sodium chloride (physical solution) for 14 days
Vitamins (1 time a day — for 12 months in courses of 2-3 months with a break between courses for 1 month)
The start of taking vitamins is immediately after you have finished taking antibiotics.
In the first 5-7 days after the hair transplant, you need to use a special pillow-headrest. It prevents the transplanted area from coming into contact with the pillow and fixes the head in a certain position, which helps to avoid swelling and injury to the area of transplanted hair during sleep.
On the first night, the headrest pillow should be wrapped with a disposable diaper. After removing the bandage from the donor area, you should put a clean towel or a new disposable diaper under your head every day.
For the first 3 days, it is recommended to sleep on your back with the headboard raised or using several pillows to raise your head at least 45 degrees.

CARE OF THE DONOR AREA
There is a bandage on the donor area, which will be replaced by the clinic staff the next day in the morning. If you don't have the opportunity to come, you can change the bandage yourself only if it is very wet.
Finally, the dressing should be removed on the 3rd day in the evening or on the 4th day in the morning, after wetting it with a solution of sodium chloride. After removing the dressing, the wound surface will be exposed, so you need to be extremely careful not to introduce infection.
Starting from 3-4 days, you will need:
Chlorhexidine solution
Levomethil Ointment
Sterile gauze wipes
Before starting manipulations, be sure to wash your hands. Then blot the cloth with chlorhexidine and treat the entire wound surface, let it dry for 5 minutes, then apply levomethyl in a thin layer. These actions should be repeated 2 times a day for 5-7 days.
Crusts, peeling, isolated "pimples" and slight itching may appear on the donor area. After 10-14 days, when the crusts subside, you will see your primary result! If the crusts did not fall off on day 14, then it is necessary to wash them off yourself, and it is also recommended to do a light massage in the area of the transplant.
You can cut your hair in this area with a trimmer and scissors after 1 month, when the inflammation and soreness stop bothering you.
Keep in mind that the donor zone is fully restored in 4-6 months.
Area of transplanted hair
CARE OF THE RECIPIENT AREA
It is recommended to strictly follow the instructions and avoid touching the transplanted area during the first 10 days after the procedure.
24 hours after the hair transplant (in the evening of the next day), you should start washing your hair. During this period, crusts may appear on the scalp, and when washing, you can soften and remove them.
If the crusts still remain on day 10-12, add a light massage of the skin in the area of the transplant in the direction of hair growth to the head wash until the crusts are completely removed. During this period, you will be able to see the primary result!
From day 14, you can use your own shampoo, wash your hair in the shower, and wear hats.
In the next few days after the transplant, tissue edema may occur in the area of the transplanted hair, temples and forehead. This is not a complication, and thanks to medications, all symptoms will disappear within a few days. Minor itching, fine peeling, isolated "pimples" and redness of the scalp are also possible.
If you experience severe itching, increased pre-existing symptoms, or new symptoms, contact a specialist at the clinic for consultation.
Transplanted hair begins to grow a few days after the procedure. Approximately 3-4 weeks after the transplant, the physiological process of renewal and stress-induced hair loss, known as "shock loss", begins.
New hair from transplanted follicles begins to grow after a "rest period" no earlier than 2-5 months after transplantation. Hair growth will continue just as it did before the transplant, and the process will progress naturally over time.
After about 8-12 months, all the hair in the transplanted follicles will be completely replaced and regrown, and you will be able to see the final result of your transplant. It is only allowed to cut hair in the transplant area with scissors for up to 6 months.
