After a hair transplant there are a specific set of instructions that we give our patients to help ensure that the new grafts get off to a healthy start. One of these steps include keeping the grafts moist for the first few days after the surgery. We have our patients spray the recipient sites every one to two hours during the day. I don't feel that a steam room/sauna will be beneficial to your newly placed grafts as the heat will not be good for them and actually slow down the healing process. After two weeks you can do any activity you want, including using a sauna.
After your hair transplant operation you should stay away from the activities that will make you sweat for one month.
Hello. A steam room or sauna will not hurt or help your transplant. However I wouldn’t go into one for the first 2 weeks after a transplant. At 2 weeks post op you can resume your normal activities including a steam room or sauna.
although there are some things you can do to help transplanted hair, steam room and sauna do not have any effect on hair growth.
A steam room will not help your hair transplants to grow nor will it probably hurt them provided it is not done in the first week after the hair transplant

First, make a follow up visit with your surgeon. I do not feel that there is much to be worried about, since it is typical to have hair shedding and not uncommon to have some dry skin following the procedure. I would refrain from pressure on the recipient area and continue to lightly...
The biggest questions that I have - how may grafts we're extracted and what was your donor site hair density prior to the procedure. If the number of grafts extracted was greater than 3000 and your original donor density was low, then there is a higher possibility for...
Typically people do not start seeing growth for 3 to 5 months post op. Sometimes even up to a year. PRP treatments can speed up the follicle cycle and promote growth. I have had much success with this method. Just be a patient patient and let nature take it course.
The ridge on the picture you show is called the temporal line. It is palpable but in the pocket where the ridge starts is a muscle called the temporalis so it gives everyone a rounded appearance and not a big step off like in the skull. When you loose hair in this region is it likely because of...
