Post operative instruction

• 1. Relax for the rest of the day.
• 2. Do not scratch the head at any time as it is important that germs are not transfered from your fingers / hands to the donor or recipient sites as this could cause infection.
• 3. Avoid strenuous exercise for 7 days following the procedure.
• 4. Do not turn the head in the up side down position on the day of the procedure or two days following the procedure.
• 5. Do not expose your head to strong direct sunlight for 14 days following the procedure, we recommend you wear a hat/cap when going out in direct sunlight for two weeks post procedure and avoid sunburn on the head for two months post procerude.
• 6. Sleep on your side or back but not on a stomach.

IMPORTANT : No highly chemical based products such as hair colour, hair laquer or sprays etc should be used on the head for the next month.

The day of procedure – Spray the recipient site with the hydration solution every 1-2 hours following the procedure (while awake).

The 1st day following procedure – Spray as above and wash the DONOR site only (where donor hairs come from) with medical soap.

The 2nd day following the procedure – Begin to wash the whole head with medical soap twice daily for 10 days (very gently for the first 7 days and then with a little more vigour after 7th day) Wash the recipient site only, use the palm of the hand very softly with lukewarm water.

Begin using Monoxidil (Regain 5%) on the7th days folowing the procedure.

Please note it is normal for some or all of the newly placed hairs to fall out within the first 4-6 weeks. They will then go into a reasting phase and 15%-20% will begin to come through the skin at the end of 4th month. You should then expect an additional 20% (approx) to come through each month following that. Please do not expect to see your full 100% growth before the end of 10th month and sometimes afull 12 month are required.
