A natural hair transplant using the FUE technique is a crucial step toward restoring a confident and attractive appearance. However, the success of the procedure doesn’t end with the operation—it largely depends on how you care for your scalp and hair afterward.
In this article, Dr. Amr El-Amrawy, Laser Cosmetic Surgery Specialist, provides a practical daily routine guide for optimal healing and healthy hair regrowth.
Dr. Amr El-Amrawy emphasizes that this period is highly sensitive and requires strict adherence to post-op instructions.
Day | Care Guidelines |
---|---|
1–3 | Avoid touching the transplanted area – sleep with your head elevated |
4–7 | Gently wash hair with lukewarm water and a prescribed medical shampoo |
8–10 | Avoid exercise, heavy sweating, and sun exposure to the scalp |
Scabs will naturally begin to fall off.
Do not pick at them—allow them to shed on their own.
Use the moisturizing sprays recommended by your doctor.
It’s normal to experience temporary shedding of transplanted hairs.
Dr. Amr El-Amrawy advises continuing with:
Medical shampoo
Hair growth serums
PRP or mesotherapy sessions if needed to stimulate regrowth
New hair starts to emerge, soft at first and thickening over time.
Start using biotin and zinc supplements to support follicle health.
Avoid hair dyes or harsh chemical treatments.
Hair gains noticeable volume and appears more natural.
Switch to sulfate- and paraben-free hair care products.
Continue follow-up visits with your doctor to monitor progress.
Avoid smoking—it slows down follicle healing.
Stay well hydrated.
Engage in light exercise to boost scalp blood flow.
Be patient—full results take 9 to 12 months.
Dr. Amr El-Amrawy, Laser Cosmetic Surgery Specialist, recommends visits:
After 10 days to check on scab shedding
At 3 months to assess new growth
Immediately if you experience unusual redness, swelling, or pain
Post-transplant hair care is just as important as the transplant itself. By following Dr. Amr El-Amrawy’s expert advice, you’ll enjoy strong, natural, and lasting results.
