had hair transplant 7 days ago and my bumped into a friend's head. There is no bleeding or visible damage. Will that distory my folicules embedded? Please reply
Answer: Hair follicles after 7 days; can they be damaged by bumping your head? After a hair restoration procedure, the protocol is to irrigate the grafts frequently in the first week following a hair transplant. This limits the scabbing and crusting in the transplanted areas, allowing the hairs to grow without trying to fight through a large crusty scab. If you followed the directions, and there is not much scabbing, it is very unlikely you damaged any grafts that long after a procedure. Typically at day 5, if one has been diligent with the irrigation of the new grafts, they are considered "healed" in, and unless there was a great deal of bleeding, it is nothing to worry about.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Unclear Trauma to the area of transplanted hair can cause hair loss or damage to the recently transplanted hair.However, this is all generalities and without an exam it is impossible to tell. In general, small bumps should not be an issue.

Answer: Bump to head 7 days after hair transplant It is unlikely that this would result in a regrowth issue at this point. Typically after 5 to 6 days the transplanted follicles have integrated into your scalp. Keep in mind that the grafts will now enter into a dormant phase and you will not begin to see regrowth for about 4 months.

Answer: Bumping Head 7 Days After Hair Transplant. Is there a problem? After 7 days the grafts are likely not going anywhere. By this time you can shampoo and clean like normal scalp. So it is extremely unlikely that you damaged the grafts. However, if there is a specific area where you may have developed a hematoma (accumulation of blood beneath the skin) or break in the skin, have the doctor who performed the procedure check out the site. Good luck.
