What immediate care is required after hair transplant at Evolved Hair Restoration Clinic?

Immediately following your hair transplant, your scalp will be sensitive and require gentle care. It’s normal to experience mild swelling, redness or scabbing around the transplanted area and donor site. These are natural signs of the healing process. You should avoid touching, scratching or picking at the grafts, as this can dislodge follicles and affect results. Our team provides detailed post-operative instructions, including how to clean the scalp, apply prescribed ointments or sprays and manage any discomfort. Over-the-counter pain medications may be recommended for mild soreness. Following these instructions closely is essential to protect graft survival, reduce the risk of infection and ensure a smooth recovery. Patients are also advised to sleep with their head elevated for the first several nights to minimise swelling. Regular follow-ups allow our team to monitor healing and address any concerns promptly.
