FOR PATIENTS - PATIENT GUIDE
Before hair transplant
Before your hair transplant, our team will provide you with detailed and tailored guidelines prior to your arrival. Before the operation, it is necessary to indicate the health problems and the medicines you are using. Avoid blood thinners before transplant. Avoid alcohol and caffeine in particular the day before the procedure, as it can affect the effectiveness of the local anesthetics that the doctors give you before the operation. Smoking reduces blood flow to the scalp by constricting blood vessels and limiting the delivery of nutrients to the follicles. For this reason, you should avoid smoking for the first week after surgery, as this is the time when it is most important for your follicles to receive adequate nutrition. It is also a good idea to quit smoking permanently to improve the health and density of your hair. On the day of the transplant, take care of your personal hygiene, eat breakfast and be rested. We recommend that you wear comfortable clothes that can be unzipped so that you don't change clothes over your head.
After hair transplant
Sapphire technique, as well as DHI technique makes you feel its genius in quick recovery even two days after surgery. The bandage is removed 1 day after the procedure, and the first wash is performed 3 days after the hair transplant.
What is expected in the next year
Scabs appear after 3 days and can last up to two weeks after the procedure, usually ending within the first month. Another important event for this period is that the receiving part can go into shock, so the hair growing from all the transplanted hair follicles falls out quickly. And what is important is that it is a normal part of recovery. After shock hair loss, the process of waiting for new hair to grow begins, and the scalp improves significantly. After 6 months of hair transplant, new hair starts to show. It is expected to be weaker at first, but as the hair grows, the roots become stronger and the strands become thicker. After a year, the final results are almost completely revealed. Strengthening of hair follicles and thickening of hair strands continues for some time.
