Aftercare Guide: Congratulations on completing your hair restoration at Hair Legends Antalya. The architectural phase of your transplant designing the hairline and implanting the grafts is now complete. However, the biological phase ensuring those grafts survive and thrive starts now.
This guide is your daily companion for the next 12 months. By following these precise protocols, you protect your investment, validate your 10 year guarantee, and ensure that your new hair frame reaches its maximum potential.
The Critical First 48 Hours: Anchoring Your Legacy
The first 48 hours are the most delicate window in your recovery. During this time, your new grafts are held in place by a natural biological “fibrin glue”. Any physical contact, sudden movement, or environmental stress can dislodge them.
Medications and Initial Care | Aftercare Guide
Immediately following your procedure, you must follow the prescribed medication schedule to manage swelling and prevent infection:
- CIPRASID 500 mg (Antibiotics): Take one tablet after breakfast to prevent any bacterial complications.
- PREDNOL 16 mg (Anti-oedema): This is vital for managing swelling. Take 4 tablets on the first day, followed by 2 tablets for the next two days.
- OMESEK 20 mg (Gastroprotective): Take one capsule before breakfast to protect your stomach while taking other medications.
- PAROL (Painkiller): Use only when needed every 6 hours to manage discomfort.
- ATARAX 25 mg: If you have trouble sleeping, take one tablet 30 minutes before bed.
- CORASPIN 100 mg: Take one in the morning and one in the evening as a blood-diluent to support circulation.
The Art of the Hair Wash: Protecting the Grafts
Washing your hair after a transplant is not just about hygiene; it is a medical procedure.
Day 1: The Clinic Wash
Your very first wash will be performed by our professional medical team at the hospital. This ensures the initial bandages are removed safely and the scalp is sanitized using The Mossi specialized products.
Days 1 to 10: The Gentle Touch
When you return home, you must wash your hair once a day using the following protocol:
- Apply the Foam: Apply the provided special foam to the transplanted area and let it sit for 30 minutes.
- Rinse: Rinse with warm water under medium pressure. Avoid high-pressure showerheads.
- Shampoo: Mix the shampoo with water in your palm to create a foam. Apply it with soft taps using only your fingertips.
- Donor Care: You may rub the donor area gently to keep it clean.
- Drying: Use only paper towels to dry your hair. Use soft taps and avoid rubbing the transplanted zone.
Days 10 to 14: Scab Removal (The Transformation)
Around the 10th day, scabs (crusts) will begin to form. It is essential to remove these correctly to allow the hair to grow.
- Apply the foam for one hour.
- Use circular motions with your fingertips to gently rub away the crusts.
- Do not use your nails. Repeat this daily until all scabs are gone, usually by day 13.
Physical Protection: Guarding the Masterpiece
Your scalp is vulnerable to the elements and physical trauma during the first month.
Sun, Rain, and Headwear
- First 7 Days: Use the fishing hat provided by our clinic to protect against sun and rain. Avoid touching the transplanted area.
- Day 7 to 30: You may switch to a baseball cap.
- After Day 30: You can go out without a hat.
Sleeping Positions
For the first 7 days, you must sleep in an upward position using the special pillows provided. This prevents your head from touching the bed and reduces swelling. You may return to your normal sleeping position after the first week.
Lifestyle and Activities: The “Boutique” Recovery
Healing requires energy. To ensure maximum graft survival, you must manage your body’s stress levels.
Life Routines and Restrictions
- Smoking & Alcohol: Avoid both for at least 7 days. Nicotine and alcohol restrict blood flow to the scalp, which can starve the new grafts.
- Sexual Intercourse: Avoid sexual activity for 10 days after the operation to prevent spikes in blood pressure.
Physical Activity and Sports
- Days 3 to 7: You may resume light social life, but take it easy.
- Day 7: Short walks (shopping, etc.) are allowed after sunset to avoid UV risk.
- Day 10: You can start longer walks as exercise. This is the maximum physical activity allowed until day 30.
- After 1 Month: Most sports and swimming can be resumed, but consult with our team first.
The Haircut Protocol: Designing Your New Look
A common question is: “When can I cut my hair?” Patience is key to protecting the follicles.
Transplanted Area
- Day 0-15: No haircuts allowed.
- 15 Days to 6 Months: You may use scissors only.
- After 6 Months: You are free to use a razor for the transplanted area.
Donor Area
- Day 0-10: No trimming.
- Day 10-30: Scissors trims only.
- After 30 Days: You can use a razor on the donor area.
