What Should You Do?
- Though it is a safe and simple process, it is still a surgery. It would be better if you call someone to take you home from the clinic after the surgery and do not take much physical stress right after the process.
- Your hair transplant expert will give you some directions, and you must follow them religiously. You can also get these guidelines online, but taking advice directly from the expert will give you more confidence and clear all your doubts.

- You may feel a little itching on the scars that you probably receive as the side effect of the surgery. Apply antibiotic creams as per the advice of your hair transplant specialist to feel comfortable. It will allow you to avoid infection and skin irritation.
- Post-surgery medications are very crucial. You must not forget to take them. Your hair transplant surgeon may suggest some painkillers which will help you to bear the pain (mild to moderate) during the healing phase.
What Should You Not Do?
- Avoid direct sunlight on your scalp because it can be dangerous for the scar as well as those budding hair follicles. Use a cap, hat or other types of covers to protect your scalp from direct sunlight at least seven to ten days after the surgery.
- Itching is normal, but you should control your temptation of touching the scalp. Do not itch because it can create an infection. bedava bahis
