Yes. Proper aftercare is essential for graft survival and smooth healing. For the transplanted area, you will be instructed to avoid touching or scratching, to sleep in an elevated position for a few nights and to gently clean the area according to your clinic’s instructions. Harsh rubbing or hot water should be avoided.
The donor area may be cleaned more normally after a few days and moisturising or prescribed ointments may be recommended to reduce dryness. Sun exposure should be avoided for several weeks, as it can irritate the skin and cause pigmentation issues.
At Evolved Hair Restoration Clinic, we provide a full aftercare kit and detailed instructions to ensure both your donor and recipient areas heal quickly and comfortably.
