After FUE Hair Transplants, what do a person need to know for aftercare?

Hi there. My aftercare is simple. Baby shampoo until the crusts have fallen off. This generally takes up to 2 weeks. Do not use baby shampoo after this period as it increases the risk of cyst formation. Regular spraying of the grafts every hour in the day with ATP solution for the first 72 hours. We provide flight pillows to help you sleep upright to minimise swelling and interference of the grafts. I do not recommend any large fluctuations in temperature. 

Every office will have their own protocols which work.  In our office, we utilize regenerative techniques and combine lactated ringers with liposomal ATP + proprietary ingredients during the rinse phase which is for the first week.  Gentle antimicrobial soap can be allowed to go over the grafts during the first several days with a normal gentle shampoo and minoxidil started at the one week mark.

My patients are given very specific post-transplant instructions. 
The head should remain elevated at all times for the first 10 days after surgery. No strenuous activity, lifting, straining, exercise, sun exposure, or getting overheated is allowed until all the scabs and crusts are gone, usually around ten days post-op. Patients may wear a loose-fitting hat starting two days after surgery and may also start gently washing the scalp at that time as well with the shampoos that I provide to them. They are also given specific sprays to help with itching and creams to help with healing that are applied to the donor area.
The hair should not be cut or brushed until all the scabs and crusts are gone due to risk of pulling out the grafts. Once the scalp is healed, normal activities can resume, usually around days 10-14.
All the best,
