Most light activities—such as walking or desk work—can be resumed within 24–48 hours. However, strenuous activities like weight lifting, running, swimming or contact sports should be avoided for 2–4 weeks, depending on how your skin heals. Exercise can raise blood pressure, which increases swelling and may put the grafts at risk.
At Evolved Hair Restoration Clinic, you’ll receive personalised recommendations based on your lifestyle. Avoiding excessive sweating, sun exposure and heat (saunas, steam rooms) is essential during early healing. Following these guidelines ensures that grafts stay secure and heals without complications.
