Greetings, please see below. We advise to avoid sexual activity for first week after hair transplantation.  The rationale is to avoid increasing blood pressure.  There are no studies supporting this however.   Best  Anil Shah MD

If you have hair loss from a scar, you can consider SMP or hair transplant surgery. You may want to see a doctor for your options.

The best thing to consider is scalp microigmentation (SMP). Combining SMP and hair transplantation can produce a fuller look, especially when you have run out of donor hair or this technique can be used in combination with any form of hair transplantation.
