What post-operative care is needed for best results (medication, shampoo type, scalp care)?

Post-operative care is crucial for graft survival and achieving the best outcomes. Use gentle, mild shampoos recommended by your surgeon and avoid harsh chemicals. Medications, such as antibiotics, anti-inflammatories or pain relievers, should be taken exactly as prescribed. Avoid scratching, picking or applying pressure to transplanted areas. Follow all aftercare instructions, including washing technique, avoiding sun exposure and attending follow-up appointments. Proper care in the early weeks ensures high graft survival, reduces infection risk and supports healthy new hair growth.
