Q29

Can I have scalp care for itching during hair transplant recovery?

Ask the surgeon first. In the early postoperative period (before the scab comes off and the graft is not stable), it is not advisable to perform external care at will. A doctor should first check for causes of scalp itching, rather than relieved by scalp care.

There is a reference for time: Transplanted hair usually falls off 2-6 weeks after surgery, starts to regenerate 3-4 months, and evaluates the effect 6-12 months ("Hair Transplantation" 6th ed). If you need maintenance after recovery and stability, please explain the operation time and recovery stage when you go to the location. Only do gentle procedures and avoid irritating operations.
