It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.
This is a question for your surgeon as we all have different protocols. My spray contains lipsomal ATP which aids in the growth of follicles. My recommendation is rather than concentrating on spraying follicles your should be shampooing the area once or twice a day to ensure you don’t have any remaining crusts.
Each hair transplant surgeon may have a slightly different post procedure protocol. It is best to check with the location where did your transplant. At 7 days most all of the scabs should be gone. If there is some residual scabbing, leave the shampoo foam on your scalp for a few minutes to soften the scabs then use your finger pads to massage the scabs then rinse. Do not pick. Once scabs are gone, you should be shampooing as you normally would. We do not have a "spray" included in our protocol.
We recommend our patients to wash their hair once per day until all the scabs are fallen off. Please consult with your own doctor about after care instructions.
You can spray water on the recipient area up to 10 days post procedure, although it won’t enhance growth. Spraying water within the first 10 days is used to prevent itchiness.
An FUE is treated just like a regular hair transplant with regard to the recipient area, but the donor area has open wounds which require daily washing with soap and water. An FUE is treated just like a regular hair transplant with regard to the recipient area, but the donor area has open wounds which require daily washing with soap and water. Within 3 days of surgery, you can resume full activities, heavy exercises if you wish. The recipient area requires daily washes as well to keep the recipient area free of crusts. I generally recommend the use of a sponge and supply my patient with a surgical sponge to fill with soapy water and press on the recipient area daily. By repeating this daily, all crusts can be washed off without any fear of losing grafts. IF any crust is present, use a Q tip and dip it into soapy water, and roll it on the crusts and that will lift them off without dislodging them, but never rub them, just roll the Q tip on the recipient crust. I like to see no evidence of any crusting in the recipient area and the crusts from the donor area gone in 3-4 days with daily washing. To get the crusting off, you need to leave the shampoo on your hair for 10 minutes and as the crust become water logged, then will come off with gentle finger action. Repeat this twice a day until it is all gone.
A 6000 graft FUE session will most likely cause donor site depletion and a see-through donor area unless you are the 1% of the Caucasian population who have unusually high donor densities (see link)
After three months there is no way to lose a graft. If you see something out of the ordinary it may be best to contact your doctor. Otherwise you may be seeing an old scab.
With our SmartGraft technology, we typically want the patient to avoid elevating the blood pressure with workouts until day 10. By day 10 there is typically no arm that can come to the new hair other than a bad sunburn for the first 90 days.
