After hair transplantation

After the hair transplant, the surgeon will provide you with advice to optimize the expected result.

Duringthe first three daysfollowing the hair transplant:

  • Do not touch hair

  • The day after and two days after the procedure: shampoo with betadine scrub 4% on the extracted area (back of the head)

From the 4th day: start shampooing your entire head with the prescribed mild shampoo, twice a day for 7 days, then once a day for 2 months.
