Undergoing a hair transplant is a significant step in the journey to restoring your hair. At Hair Medical Restoration, we guide our patients through every phase of the process, ensuring a smooth recovery and optimal results. Here’s a detailed guide on what to expect during the recovery period and how to take care of your newly transplanted hair.
Immediately after surgery, it’s crucial to follow your surgeon’s instructions closely. At Hair Medical Restoration, we recommend resting as much as possible with a neck pillow during the first three days, keeping your head supported to reduce swelling, applying prescribed ointments, and taking medications as directed to minimize swelling and discomfort.
It’s common to experience mild swelling, redness, and itching around the transplant area. Scabbing at the graft sites is expected but should not be disturbed. Most discomfort subsides within a week. The initial healing process typically lasts about 7-10 days, but overall recovery and complete healing takes longer, depending on the individual.
Use prescribed pain relief as needed, avoid strenuous activities, and wear loose clothing to prevent friction with the scalp. Our team at Hair Medical Restoration will ensure you have personalized recovery instructions to make this phase as comfortable as possible.

Being mindful during these critical weeks helps ensure the longevity and success of your hair transplant.
The shedding phase, known as “shock loss,” typically happens within the first month. Don’t be alarmed, as this is a natural part of the hair growth cycle. New hair will begin to grow in its place within a few months.
At Hair Medical Restoration, your journey doesn’t end after surgery. Follow-up visits allow us to monitor your progress, address questions, and offer additional therapies like PRP or mesotherapy, which can significantly improve your final outcome and shorten the recovery timeline.
