5 Tips for Male Hair Transplant Aftercare
Written by Dr. Griffin
Hair loss can occur due to a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, and normal aging. No matter the cause, there are also a variety of advantages to hair transplants for men at our Philadelphia-based Griffin Hair Restoration Center. Consider boosted confidence, a lasting solution, minimal to no maintenance required, and hair growth that looks natural while matching with your own hair—because it is sourced from your own hair. Although transplants are generally safe and low-risk procedures, it’s important to follow our post-operative advice if you want to ensure the best results while avoiding complications.
If you’re planning to have a hair transplant, here are general aftercare suggestions to ensure a fast and smooth recovery:
1. Take It Easy
For the first couple of days after your hair transplant procedure, it’s important to get plenty of rest to support healing. Don’t engage in any heavy exercise or strenuous activities, such as lifting heavy weights, bending, or playing sports. You may have to continue to avoid exercise for the first week.
2. Avoid Sweating
In addition to avoiding exercise, refrain from heat and from other activities or environments that cause you to sweat, such as saunas, because it could delay healing.
3. Keep Clean
To keep infections at bay, avoid touching or scratching and take other steps to stop dirt, dust, and bacteria from getting onto your scalp.
4. Keep Swelling Down
Swelling in the transplant area is a common side effect after this type of treatment. Avoid sleeping flat on your back or stomach. You can reduce swelling by sleeping in a semi-upright position with your head elevated at a 45-degree angle or sleeping in a recliner, taking anti-inflammatory medications, and placing an ice pack on the forehead. Icing also helps to relieve discomfort.
5. Avoid Washing Your Hair
For at least 48 hours after this treatment, avoid washing your hair. When you do resume washing your hair several days after, be gentle. Don’t scrub your scalp too aggressively, and rinse your hair out with a cup of water.

Our Team
Mustafa Yilmaz
My vision of hair transplantation is totally in line with this perspective: to be at the service of regained well-being through effective techniques that give natural results. The hair, in women of course, but in men, it is the force of life, it is the finery. Losing them is truly an injury, a trauma. It’s terrible!
Also, I enjoy listening to my patients and never judging them. I am then able to give them the best advice and allow them to regain their self-confidence.
I naturally surrounded myself with a caring, expert and extremely rigorous team in its field to be sure to offer men and women who suffer from baldness solutions that work, without ever ignoring safety and reliability.
The used techniques depend on Dr. Mustafa Yilmaz decision after doing the medical diagnosis, Choi Pen / DHI - Sapphire - Micro FUE are used normally in our operations.
Emine Karabash
I started dermatology almost 15 years ago now and thanks to my encounters with other dermatologists, I quickly turned to medical aesthetics.
More and more women and men want to feel good about their hair, and when this is the case, one gains confidence in oneself, in everyday life, in social life and in work.
I have also always remained "classic", in this movement that is now called the "Soft touch", namely to privilege discretion, elegance, and of course, naturalness. Not ostentatious! I prefer to repair what is damaged, rather than change or modify.
The used techniques depend on Dr Emine’s decision after doing the medical diagnosis, Choi Pen / DHI - Sapphire - Micro FUE are used normally in our operations.
Ayshe Yalchin
