You know I am clumsy so I think it is better to not to rinse or wash recipient area for 7 days.
Answer: Washing grafts after an ARTAS procedure? Dear jhkansas,Post-operative regimens are important to follow as they can most definitely affect graft survival. Your surgeon should have provided you with a lengthy post-operative care package of information and day-by-day instructions, irrigation solutions, wound ointment, gauze, etc. I would follow the directions as provided by your surgeon. At my office I have our patients start to irrigate their grafts on the evening of surgery with a solution consisting of lactated ringer’s solution with liposomal ATP added to it. Bioenhanced hair restoration has arrived. This solution helps to feed the grafts in the days following surgery as the follicles receive their new blood supply from the scalp. The patients irrigate their grafts frequently following the surgery, and this helps to wash away serum and scabs so that your grafts can heal without the burden of a scab over top impairing healing. Bottom line is that it’s helpful to rinse your grafts often following your procedure with solutions that help the new hairs take root in their new location. I hope this information is helpful to you.

Answer: Washing the recipient site after a hair transplant. At the time of your procedure the surgeon should have given you detailed instructions on how to care for your new grafts. I would get in touch with them if you have any questions. In my practice we instruct the patient to spray their grafts with a nutrient solution the evening of their procedure. This continues for up to a week after the surgery. On the day after the procedure they begin to gently wash and rinse the area by pouring a soapy solution over the grafts. This helps to remove any scabs that form. Thus the grafts are kept moist for a large part of the time while they heal. After two weeks the patient can care for their scalp as they wish, washing it and using products as they desire.

Answer: Washing Hair after Transplant Procedure Thank you for your question. You should approach your doctor with this question, but we tell patients to wash their hair the day after the procedure to remove scabs and dried blood. Doing this will allow for quicker healing, less inflammation (redness), and a reduced chance of infection. Washing will also shorten the time post-op where the procedure might be detectable. Patients are urged to start gently washing the recipient area the day after the surgery. When showering, patients can clean the transplanted area with a sulfate free shampoo, gentle on grafts. The grafts are made to fit snugly into the recipient sites and will not be dislodged in the shower, as long as the patient washes gently.
