The grafts are fragile for roughly the first week to ten days, then firmly anchored. You will wash your scalp gently from the first days, see the small crusts fall around days 7 to 14, probably lose many of the transplanted hairs between weeks 2 and 8 (\u00ab\u00a0shock loss\u00a0\u00bb and normal shedding), and see new growth from about month 3 or 4, with the final result at around 12 months, sometimes longer at the crown.

Once placed in tiny incisions, each graft needs a few days to attach and to be fed by new blood vessels. During that period it can be dislodged by friction, pressure, scratching or a strong jet of water. Each graft lost is a follicle that will never grow, and it cannot be replaced from the same limited donor reserve without cost.<\/p>\n<p>After about ten days the grafts are anchored and the risk of dislodging them becomes very low. From then on, aftercare is about protecting the skin (sun, infection, irritation), supporting the existing hair with medication if prescribed, and being patient while the new hairs go through their growth cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Good aftercare also protects the donor area. Thousands of small extraction points after FUE, or a linear scar after a strip (FUT) procedure, must heal cleanly to stay discreet when the hair is short.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"overview\">The timeline at a glance<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Period<\/th>\n<th>What you see<\/th>\n<th>What you do<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Day 0 to 1<\/td>\n<td>Small red dots and tiny crusts on the recipient area, oozing donor area<\/td>\n<td>Rest, sleep with the head raised, no touching, painkillers as needed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Days 1 to 3<\/td>\n<td>Bandage removed, swelling may appear on the forehead<\/td>\n<td>First gentle wash (often at the clinic), cold compresses on the forehead only<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Days 4 to 10<\/td>\n<td>Crusts around each graft, itching, redness<\/td>\n<td>Daily gentle wash, no scratching, no picking, no hat pressing on grafts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Days 10 to 14<\/td>\n<td>Most crusts gone, recipient area pink<\/td>\n<td>Normal gentle washing, gradual return to light exercise<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Weeks 2 to 8<\/td>\n<td>Transplanted hairs fall out, sometimes surrounding native hairs too<\/td>\n<td>Patience; continue prescribed treatment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Months 2 to 3<\/td>\n<td>\u00ab\u00a0Ugly duckling\u00a0\u00bb phase, sometimes small pimples<\/td>\n<td>Haircut allowed, sport normal, sun protection<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Months 3 to 6<\/td>\n<td>Fine new hairs appear, often irregular<\/td>\n<td>Photos for follow-up<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Months 6 to 9<\/td>\n<td>Hairs thicken and lengthen; density becomes visible<\/td>\n<td>Follow-up check<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Months 12 to 18<\/td>\n<td>Final result (crown and texture sometimes later)<\/td>\n<td>Final assessment, long-term plan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"day0\">Day 0 and the first night<\/h2>\n<h3>How do you feel after the procedure?<\/h3>\n<p>Most people feel tired rather than in pain. The operation lasts many hours under local anaesthesia, sometimes with a mild sedative. When the anaesthetic wears off in the evening, the donor area is usually more uncomfortable than the recipient area, especially after a strip procedure. Simple painkillers prescribed by the clinic are usually enough.<\/p>\n<h3>What is normal on the first evening?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A slight ooze of blood and clear fluid from the donor area, absorbed by the bandage.<\/li>\n<li>A feeling of tightness or numbness on the scalp.<\/li>\n<li>Small red dots, each with a tiny crust, in the recipient area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What should you avoid on the first night?<\/h3>\n<p>Do not touch, rub or scratch the recipient area. Do not bend forward for long periods, as this increases swelling. Do not drink alcohol, which can increase bleeding and swelling. Avoid putting anything on the head. Have someone with you if you were given a sedative.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"day1-3\">Days 1 to 3: bandage, swelling and the first wash<\/h2>\n<h3>When is the bandage removed?<\/h3>\n<p>Usually the day after the operation, at the clinic. The team checks the donor and recipient areas, cleans them and often performs the first wash, showing you the technique you will use at home.<\/p>\n<h3>Why does the forehead swell?<\/h3>\n<p>The local anaesthetic and the fluid injected to ease extraction and implantation gradually move down with gravity. Swelling often appears on the forehead on day 2 or 3 and can reach the eyelids, then disappears within about a week. It looks dramatic but is usually harmless. To limit it, sleep with the head raised, avoid bending over and, if your clinic allows it, apply cold packs to the forehead and above the eyebrows, never on the grafts. Some clinics give medication to reduce swelling.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you go outside?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, for walks, but protect the scalp from direct sun and avoid crowds where someone could knock your head. If you are staying abroad for the procedure, short walks are encouraged.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"washing\">How do you wash your hair after a transplant?<\/h2>\n<p>Gentle, regular washing is one of the most important parts of aftercare. It keeps the scalp clean, reduces the risk of infection and stops crusts from becoming thick and sticking to the new hairs. Many patients are afraid of washing, but not washing increases problems.<\/p>\n<h3>When is the first wash at home?<\/h3>\n<p>Typically from day 1, 2 or 3 depending on the clinic, then once or twice a day until the crusts have gone, usually around day 10 to 14.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the usual technique?<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Lotion or foam (if prescribed):<\/strong> apply a soothing lotion to the recipient area with light dabs, leave it for the time indicated to soften the crusts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shampoo:<\/strong> lather a mild shampoo in your hands, then place the foam on the recipient area with light pressing movements of the fingertips. No rubbing, no circular movements, no nails.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rinse:<\/strong> pour lukewarm water from a cup or bowl, or use a shower on a very gentle setting, never a strong jet aimed at the grafts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Donor area:<\/strong> wash it more normally from the first days, gently, with the same shampoo.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drying:<\/strong> let the recipient area dry in the air or dab it very lightly with a paper towel. No hair dryer on hot air in the first weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Days<\/th>\n<th>Recipient area<\/th>\n<th>Donor area<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>1 to 3<\/td>\n<td>Foam placed without rubbing, rinsing with a cup<\/td>\n<td>Gentle wash, light dabbing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4 to 7<\/td>\n<td>Same technique, crusts softened with lotion<\/td>\n<td>Normal gentle wash<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8 to 10<\/td>\n<td>Light circular movements with the fingertips allowed if your clinic agrees, to help crusts fall<\/td>\n<td>Normal wash<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>11 to 14<\/td>\n<td>Remaining crusts come off with gentle massage in the shower<\/td>\n<td>Normal wash<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>From about 2 to 3 weeks<\/td>\n<td>Normal wash, normal shower pressure<\/td>\n<td>Normal wash<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>What shampoo should you use?<\/h3>\n<p>Whatever your clinic provides or recommends, usually a mild, fragrance-free shampoo. Avoid anti-dandruff, exfoliating or strongly perfumed products during the first weeks, as well as hair masks and oils on the recipient area unless prescribed.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"day4-10\">Days 4 to 10: crusts, itching and redness<\/h2>\n<h3>Why do crusts form?<\/h3>\n<p>Each graft sits in a small incision that bleeds slightly and forms a tiny crust. They are normal and protect the graft. With regular washing they stay small and fall off on their own, usually between days 7 and 14.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you remove the crusts yourself?<\/h3>\n<p>Not in the first week. Picking a crust early can pull out the graft underneath. From around day 8 to 10, your clinic may tell you to help the remaining crusts come off with gentle fingertip movements under the shower. If a crust comes away with a hair in it after day 10, this is generally just the hair shaft, not the follicle.<\/p>\n<h3>What about itching?<\/h3>\n<p>Itching is common as the skin heals, often peaking around the end of the first week. Do not scratch. Regular washing, the lotion provided, and sometimes an antihistamine or other medication prescribed by the clinic help. Persistent intense itching with redness and small pustules should be shown to the team.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does the redness last?<\/h3>\n<p>Usually a few weeks; on fair skin it can last a couple of months. It fades gradually. Avoid sun and heat, which make it worse.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"day10-14\">Days 10 to 14: the grafts are anchored<\/h2>\n<p>By the end of the second week, the grafts are generally securely anchored. Most crusts have gone. The recipient area may look almost normal at a distance, with short hairs of the length they were cut to. Many patients feel reassured at this stage, then surprised a few weeks later when much of that hair falls out. This is the normal cycle described below.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you do again from about day 14?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Wash your hair normally.<\/li>\n<li>Wear a loose cap or hat more freely.<\/li>\n<li>Resume light exercise, if your clinic agrees.<\/li>\n<li>Go back to most jobs if you were not already working.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"donor\">How do you care for the donor area?<\/h2>\n<h3>After FUE<\/h3>\n<p>The donor area is covered with small round wounds, each one where a graft was extracted. They form tiny crusts and heal within about a week to ten days. Some clinics apply an antibiotic or healing ointment for a few days. Once healed, the area leaves small white dots that are usually invisible when the hair is a few millimetres long. Numbness or tingling in the donor area can last weeks to months.<\/p>\n<h3>After a strip (FUT) procedure<\/h3>\n<p>The donor area is a linear wound closed with stitches or staples, removed after about ten to fourteen days, or with absorbable sutures. It feels tight for several weeks. Avoid strong neck bending and heavy lifting during the first weeks to reduce tension on the scar, and protect it from the sun.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is the donor area sometimes thin for a while?<\/h3>\n<p>Native hairs around the extraction points can also go through temporary shedding. This normally recovers within a few months. Over-harvesting, where too many grafts are taken from the same area, is a different problem: it leaves a permanently thin donor area and is one reason why surgeons stress the importance of preserving the donor reserve.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"shock\">Shock loss and shedding: weeks 2 to 8<\/h2>\n<h3>Is it normal for transplanted hair to fall out?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Most transplanted hairs shed between about two and eight weeks after the procedure. The follicles stay in place, enter a resting phase and start producing new hairs after a few months. This shedding is expected and does not mean the grafts have failed.<\/p>\n<h3>What is shock loss?<\/h3>\n<p>Shock loss refers to the temporary loss of existing native hairs around the recipient area, and sometimes in the donor area, triggered by the trauma of the procedure. It is more common in women and in people with diffuse thinning. In most cases those hairs grow back within three to six months. Hairs that were already very miniaturised before the operation may not return, which is one reason why medical treatment to stabilise hair loss is often recommended alongside surgery.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you prevent shock loss?<\/h3>\n<p>Not completely. Careful surgical technique, avoiding implanting too densely between existing hairs, and in some cases starting or continuing medical treatment can reduce it. Discuss this with the surgeon before the operation, especially if you have diffuse thinning or are a woman.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does the \u00ab\u00a0ugly duckling\u00a0\u00bb phase last?<\/h3>\n<p>Typically from about week 4 to month 3 or 4. The recipient area may look as it did before surgery, or slightly thinner, sometimes with redness and small pimples. It is the hardest phase psychologically. Photos taken at fixed intervals help to see progress that the mirror hides.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thinking about a hair transplant and want a realistic plan for the months afterwards?<\/strong> Request a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/devis.php\">free quote<\/a> with photos of your scalp. You receive a personalised, nominative proposal within 48 hours.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sleep\">Sleeping after a hair transplant<\/h2>\n<h3>How should you sleep in the first nights?<\/h3>\n<p>On your back, with the head raised at about 45 degrees, for the first three to five nights or as instructed. This reduces swelling and keeps the recipient area away from the pillow. A travel neck pillow helps prevent the head from turning in the night. Some clinics provide one.<\/p>\n<h3>When can you sleep on your side?<\/h3>\n<p>Usually after about a week to ten days, once the grafts are anchored, provided the recipient area does not rub against the pillow. Sleeping on your front is usually allowed after about two weeks.<\/p>\n<h3>Should you protect the pillow?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Place a clean towel or disposable cover on the pillow during the first nights: the donor area oozes slightly. Change pillowcases often during the first two weeks to reduce infection risk.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sport\">When can you go back to sport?<\/h2>\n<p>Exercise raises blood pressure and makes you sweat, both of which are a problem in the first days. Contact or falls can dislodge grafts. The usual progression is shown below; your clinic&rsquo;s instructions take priority, especially after a strip procedure.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Activity<\/th>\n<th>Typical return<\/th>\n<th>Comment<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Walking<\/td>\n<td>From day 1<\/td>\n<td>Encouraged<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Light cardio (easy cycling indoors, cross-trainer)<\/td>\n<td>About 7 to 10 days<\/td>\n<td>Without heavy sweating on the grafts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Jogging<\/td>\n<td>About 2 weeks<\/td>\n<td>Gradually<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Weight training<\/td>\n<td>About 2 to 3 weeks (longer after a strip procedure)<\/td>\n<td>Avoid straining and holding your breath<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Swimming<\/td>\n<td>About 3 to 4 weeks<\/td>\n<td>Chlorine and sea water irritate healing skin<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Yoga with inverted positions<\/td>\n<td>About 2 to 3 weeks<\/td>\n<td>Head-down positions increase pressure<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Contact sports, martial arts, football heading<\/td>\n<td>About 4 to 6 weeks<\/td>\n<td>Risk of impact on the recipient area<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cycling outdoors with a helmet, skiing<\/td>\n<td>See the section on helmets<\/td>\n<td>Helmet pressure and falls are the issue<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Can sweat damage the grafts?<\/h3>\n<p>Sweat itself does not destroy anchored grafts, but in the first days it can irritate the skin and increase infection risk. After light exercise in the second week, wash the scalp gently.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sun\">Sun, swimming, sauna and the Swiss mountains<\/h2>\n<h3>Why is sun exposure a problem?<\/h3>\n<p>The recipient area is a healing wound with thin, sensitive skin. Sunburn can damage the skin and the grafts and can leave lasting redness or pigmentation. For the first two weeks, avoid direct sun on the scalp entirely. Afterwards, use a loose hat for several months and, once the skin has healed, a sunscreen suitable for the scalp.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the mountain sun more dangerous?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. UV radiation increases with altitude, and snow reflects much of it. A hike in the Alps in summer or a ski day in winter exposes a thinning or newly transplanted scalp to strong UV. Cover your head.<\/p>\n<h3>When can you swim?<\/h3>\n<p>Usually after about three to four weeks, once the scalp has healed completely. Pools, lakes and the sea carry a risk of infection and irritation before that.<\/p>\n<h3>When can you go to the sauna or hammam?<\/h3>\n<p>Heat and steam increase swelling and sweating. Most clinics ask patients to wait about four weeks.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"hats\">Hats, caps, bike and ski helmets<\/h2>\n<p>This is one of the most common practical questions in Switzerland, where many people cycle to work and ski in winter.<\/p>\n<h3>When can you wear a cap?<\/h3>\n<p>Many clinics allow a loose, clean cap or bucket hat from the first days to go outside, provided it does not press on or rub the grafts when you put it on or take it off. Tight caps and beanies usually wait until about day 10 to 14. Lift the hat straight up rather than dragging it backwards over the recipient area.<\/p>\n<h3>When can you wear a bike helmet?<\/h3>\n<p>A helmet presses on the scalp and can rub on the grafts. Most clinics advise avoiding helmets for about two weeks and resuming with a loosened, padded helmet after that. Since cycling also means a risk of falls, many patients simply avoid cycling in the first two to three weeks. Do not ride without a helmet to protect your grafts: protecting your head matters more.<\/p>\n<h3>When can you ski?<\/h3>\n<p>Skiing combines helmet pressure, cold, sweat, intense UV and the risk of falls. A common recommendation is to wait at least four weeks, then wear a properly fitted helmet over a thin, clean liner. If you plan a transplant in autumn and ski holidays in December or February, tell the clinic in advance so the plan fits your calendar.<\/p>\n<h3>Motorbike helmets?<\/h3>\n<p>Full-face helmets are tight and hot. Many clinics advise waiting about three to four weeks. Ask specifically if you depend on a motorbike for work.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"hair\">Haircuts, clippers, colouring and styling products<\/h2>\n<h3>When can you get a haircut?<\/h3>\n<p>Cutting the existing hair with scissors is usually allowed after about three to four weeks. Clippers directly on the recipient area are often postponed to two to three months to avoid irritating the healing skin. On the donor area, many clinics allow clippers from about four weeks. Tell your hairdresser you had a transplant so they handle the area gently.<\/p>\n<h3>When can you dye your hair?<\/h3>\n<p>Hair dyes contain chemicals that can irritate a healing scalp. A common recommendation is to wait about four to six weeks, and to do a patch test first. Ask your clinic, especially if you use dark or permanent dyes.<\/p>\n<h3>When can you use gel, wax or hair spray?<\/h3>\n<p>Usually after about two to four weeks, once the scalp has healed. Avoid products that require rubbing into the scalp before that.<\/p>\n<h3>When can you use a hair dryer?<\/h3>\n<p>Cool air is usually fine after about two weeks. Avoid hot air on the recipient area for the first month.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you wear a hairpiece or concealer fibres to hide the area?<\/h3>\n<p>Hair fibres and concealers are usually allowed after about two to four weeks, once the skin has healed, and should be washed out every evening. Hairpieces fixed with tape or glue on the recipient area must wait longer; ask your clinic.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"medication\">Medicines: painkillers, minoxidil, finasteride<\/h2>\n<h3>Which painkillers can you take?<\/h3>\n<p>Those prescribed by the clinic, usually paracetamol, sometimes stronger painkillers for the first nights. Avoid aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs in the first days unless your surgeon says otherwise, because they can increase bleeding.<\/p>\n<h3>Are antibiotics needed?<\/h3>\n<p>Some clinics prescribe a short course, others do not. Follow your clinic&rsquo;s protocol. Finish any course you start.<\/p>\n<h3>When can you restart minoxidil?<\/h3>\n<p>Topical minoxidil is usually paused around the operation and restarted when the scalp has healed, often after about two to four weeks, depending on the clinic. It can irritate fresh skin. Oral minoxidil, now prescribed more often off-label at low doses, follows the instructions of the doctor who prescribed it.<\/p>\n<h3>Should you continue finasteride?<\/h3>\n<p>If you were taking finasteride or dutasteride before the transplant, most surgeons advise continuing it, because the transplant does not stop the progression of hair loss in the native hair. The decision to start these medicines is taken with a doctor after discussing benefits and possible side effects; in 2025 the European Medicines Agency reviewed finasteride and dutasteride and confirmed suicidal thoughts as a possible side effect of finasteride, and asked for a patient information card in the packs of finasteride tablets used for hair loss. In Switzerland, these medicines require a prescription.<\/p>\n<h3>What about PRP after a transplant?<\/h3>\n<p>Some clinics offer platelet-rich plasma sessions after a transplant to support healing and growth. The evidence is mixed. It is not essential for the result. If you consider it, ask what the protocol is, how many sessions are planned and how results will be measured.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"work\">Work, alcohol, smoking and social life<\/h2>\n<h3>When can you go back to work?<\/h3>\n<p>For office work, many people return after about five to ten days. The main constraint is visibility: swelling on the forehead around days 2 to 5 and crusts until about day 10 to 14. After a shaved procedure, the contrast between the shaved area and the rest of the hair is visible for a few weeks. Physical work involving lifting, heat or dust usually waits about two weeks.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you drink alcohol?<\/h3>\n<p>Avoid alcohol for at least the first few days to a week. It dilates blood vessels, increases swelling and bleeding, and dehydrates. A small amount afterwards is usually not a problem.<\/p>\n<h3>And smoking?<\/h3>\n<p>Nicotine reduces blood flow to the skin, which can affect graft survival and healing. Stopping before and after the operation is strongly recommended; ask your clinic for the exact period.<\/p>\n<h3>How visible will it be at a wedding or meeting?<\/h3>\n<p>Plan important events at least three to four weeks after the procedure, or after the redness has faded if you have fair skin. Unshaven techniques, where the recipient area is not shaved, can be more discreet, but they are not suitable for every case and take longer to perform.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"growth\">Months 3 to 12: what growth looks like<\/h2>\n<h3>When does new hair start to grow?<\/h3>\n<p>Fine new hairs usually appear from about month 3 to 4. They are often thin, curly or irregular at first and thicken over the following months.<\/p>\n<h3>What does month 6 look like?<\/h3>\n<p>Many patients see about half of the final result at six months, but this varies widely. The hairline often matures faster than the crown.<\/p>\n<h3>When is the final result?<\/h3>\n<p>Generally at 12 months for the front and mid-scalp, and up to 18 months for the crown or for people with slow-growing hair. Texture and thickness can keep improving until then. Surgeons do not judge a result, or plan a second session, before this point.<\/p>\n<h3>Are pimples after a transplant normal?<\/h3>\n<p>Small pimples (folliculitis) are fairly common around months 2 to 4, when new hairs push through the skin. Most resolve on their own or with gentle washing. Larger, painful or numerous pimples should be shown to the clinic or a doctor.<\/p>\n<h3>What if growth seems slow?<\/h3>\n<p>Compare standardised photos rather than relying on the mirror, and wait until at least 9 to 12 months before concluding. If growth is clearly poor by then, ask your surgeon for an assessment. Poor growth can come from surgical factors, but also from medical factors such as smoking, uncontrolled hair loss or scalp conditions.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Month<\/th>\n<th>Typical stage<\/th>\n<th>Useful action<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>Shedding begins, redness fading<\/td>\n<td>Photos, sun protection<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>Ugly duckling phase<\/td>\n<td>Haircut allowed, sport normal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3 to 4<\/td>\n<td>First fine hairs<\/td>\n<td>Photos; continue medication<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>Visible improvement, uneven<\/td>\n<td>Follow-up check<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td>Thicker, longer hair<\/td>\n<td>Photos<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>12<\/td>\n<td>Near-final result at the front<\/td>\n<td>Assessment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>15 to 18<\/td>\n<td>Final result at the crown<\/td>\n<td>Decide on any further plan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"checks\">Check-ups and photos: what should follow-up look like?<\/h2>\n<h3>How often should you be checked?<\/h3>\n<p>A typical follow-up includes a check the day after the procedure, a check around day 10 to 14 (in person or by photo), then checks at around 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. After a transplant abroad, most of this is done remotely with photos.<\/p>\n<h3>How should you take follow-up photos?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Same place, same light, ideally daylight from a window, no flash.<\/li>\n<li>Dry hair, combed the same way.<\/li>\n<li>Front, both sides at 45 degrees, top view and crown, and the donor area.<\/li>\n<li>Same distance and angle each time; ask someone to help for the crown.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Should you also see a doctor in Switzerland?<\/h3>\n<p>It is useful if you have a scalp condition, if you take medication for hair loss, or if something unusual appears. A dermatologist can assess the native hair, diagnose conditions such as seborrhoeic dermatitis or folliculitis, and adjust medical treatment. This care is at your expense if the transplant was a cosmetic procedure.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"warning\">When should you worry?<\/h2>\n<p>Complications after hair transplantation are uncommon but do occur. Contact the clinic promptly if you notice any of the following.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Infection:<\/strong> increasing pain, warmth, spreading redness, yellow discharge or fever after the first few days.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bleeding:<\/strong> a graft site that keeps bleeding after firm, gentle pressure with clean gauze for 10 to 15 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dark or black areas<\/strong> in the recipient zone, which can rarely signal compromised blood supply.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Severe swelling around the eyes<\/strong> with pain or visual change.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cysts or painful lumps<\/strong> that persist for weeks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prolonged numbness or nerve pain<\/strong> beyond several months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you see grafts that appear to have come out in the first days, with a small bulb at the end and bleeding at the site, contact the clinic. A single dislodged graft is not a disaster, but the clinic should know.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"special\">Does aftercare differ for women, unshaven procedures, beards and eyebrows?<\/h2>\n<h3>Women and long-hair procedures<\/h3>\n<p>Women with thinning hair often have a transplant without shaving the recipient area, or with only a narrow strip shaved in the donor area hidden under longer hair. The grafts are placed between existing hairs, which makes washing slightly more delicate: the long hair must be rinsed carefully without pulling or tangling over the recipient area. Shock loss of native hair is more common in women, so the \u00ab\u00a0ugly duckling\u00a0\u00bb phase can feel more pronounced. A loose hairstyle, no tight ponytails, buns or clips over the grafts for the first few weeks, and no hot styling tools for about a month are the usual rules. Our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/blog\/female-hair-loss-beard-eyebrow-transplant-switzerland\/\">female hair loss, beard and eyebrow transplants<\/a> explains when a transplant is suitable for women.<\/p>\n<h3>Unshaven FUE<\/h3>\n<p>When the donor area is not fully shaved, the extraction points are hidden under longer hair, but they are harder to clean. Wash the donor area gently but thoroughly, and do not let crusts build up under the hair. The longer hair also hides redness, which is why this option is popular with people who must return to work quickly.<\/p>\n<h3>Beard transplant<\/h3>\n<p>The grafts in the face settle in a similar time frame. The main differences are practical: no shaving of the beard area for about two to three weeks, careful washing of the face without rubbing, sleeping on the back, avoiding facial creams and aftershave on the grafts and avoiding sun on the face. Small crusts in the beard fall off in about a week to ten days. Shedding and regrowth follow the same cycle as on the scalp.<\/p>\n<h3>Eyebrow transplant<\/h3>\n<p>Eyebrow grafts are very fine and placed at a sharp angle. Do not rub your eyes or brows, avoid make-up on the brows for about two weeks and follow the clinic&rsquo;s advice on washing. Transplanted eyebrow hair comes from the scalp and keeps growing longer than natural brow hair, so it needs regular trimming for life once it grows back.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"season\">Is there a good season for a hair transplant in Switzerland?<\/h2>\n<p>There is no medical best season, but your calendar matters. Autumn and early winter are popular because the sun is weaker and hats are socially normal, which makes the first weeks easier. On the other hand, if you ski a lot, a transplant in November or December means sitting out part of the season or skiing with caution. Spring is a good compromise for people who want growth to show by the following winter. Summer requires extra discipline with sun protection and swimming. Whatever the season, block at least ten days with no important social or professional events, and plan the next twelve months knowing that the result will take that long to appear.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"abroad\">Aftercare after a transplant abroad<\/h2>\n<p>Many people living in Switzerland have their transplant abroad, most often in Turkey or Tunisia. The aftercare is the same as at home; the difference is that the first two critical days happen near the clinic and the rest at home, where your contact with the team is remote.<\/p>\n<h3>How long should you stay?<\/h3>\n<p>Long enough to have the bandage removed, the first wash done or demonstrated by the team and the scalp checked. Clinics generally plan the return flight once this is done. Ask beforehand how the first wash is organised and whether you will receive the lotion, shampoo, neck pillow and medicines to take home.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you protect the grafts on the flight home?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Wear a loose hat or no hat, never a tight cap.<\/li>\n<li>Be careful with overhead lockers when standing up.<\/li>\n<li>Use the neck pillow to avoid leaning against the window or seat.<\/li>\n<li>Drink water, avoid alcohol.<\/li>\n<li>Carry your medicines and lotion in hand luggage within liquid limits, with the prescription.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What should you bring home?<\/h3>\n<p>The written aftercare instructions, the operative report with the number of grafts and the technique, the list of medicines and a contact for remote follow-up. Make sure you know how to send photos and how quickly the team replies.<\/p>\n<h3>What does Medespoir offer?<\/h3>\n<p>Medespoir organises hair transplants in its clinics in Tunisia and in Istanbul, Turkey. Its French pages on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/deroulement-greffe-cheveux.php\">course of a hair transplant<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/resultat-greffe-cheveux.php\">results of a hair transplant<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/guide-greffe-cheveux.php\">hair transplant guide<\/a> give more details. In Tunisia, consultations and medical documents are in French, and there are direct flights of about two hours from Geneva and Basel-Mulhouse. Follow-up after the return to Switzerland is done remotely.<\/p>\n<h3>How does the price compare?<\/h3>\n<p>A hair transplant in Tunisia or Turkey is clearly cheaper than in Switzerland; the exact price is given in a free, personalised and nominative quote within 48 hours, which can compare both destinations. Medespoir&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/greffe-cheveux-tunisie.php\">hair transplant page for Tunisia<\/a> (in French) describes what is included.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your next step:<\/strong> request a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/devis.php\">free hair transplant quote<\/a> with photos of your scalp.

Normal washing with light massage is usually allowed after about 10 to 14 days, once the crusts have fallen.<\/p>\n<h3>When do the scabs fall off after a hair transplant?<\/h3>\n<p>Usually between days 7 and 14, helped by regular gentle washing. Do not pick them in the first week.<\/p>\n<h3>Is it normal to lose transplanted hair after two weeks?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Most transplanted hairs shed between weeks 2 and 8. The follicles remain and produce new hair from about month 3 or 4.<\/p>\n<h3>When can I sleep normally after a hair transplant?<\/h3>\n<p>Sleep on your back with the head raised for the first nights. Side sleeping is usually possible after about a week to ten days.<\/p>\n<h3>When can I wear a cap or helmet?<\/h3>\n<p>A loose hat early on is usually fine; tight caps after about 10 to 14 days; bike helmets after about two weeks with care; ski or motorbike helmets after about three to four weeks. Follow your clinic&rsquo;s instructions.<\/p>\n<h3>When can I go to the gym after a hair transplant?<\/h3>\n<p>Light exercise after about a week, jogging after about two weeks, weights after two to three weeks, contact sports after four to six weeks.<\/p>\n<h3>When can I cut or dye my hair?<\/h3>\n<p>Scissor cuts after about three to four weeks, clippers on the recipient area after two to three months, dye after about four to six weeks.<\/p>\n<h3>When will I see the final result?<\/h3>\n<p>At around 12 months for most areas, and up to 18 months for the crown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washing, scabs, shock loss, sleep, sport, sun, caps and helmets, haircuts and check-ups: the hair transplant aftercare timeline for people
