Question

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Massage your head after asking your doctor if it is ok.  There is nothing wrong with massaging your head, but make sure your scalp has healed.  Always check with your doctor.

Roy A. David, MD · Answer

Until your scabs have come off, your transplanted hairs are easily injured. Two weeks after a hair transplant is generally safe, but most patients are advised to be gentle with the area for up to a  month.

Grant Stevens, MD · Answer

You should probably wait at least 3 weeks after having grafts to have a scalp massage.  Massage the scalp but try to avoid things or techniques that scratch or abrade the scalp and newly grafted areas.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

If you like head massages, you can have them done after about 4 weeks following a hair transplant. They do feel good

Michael Meshkin, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

you need to wait until you are completely healed before getting head massage. I recommend waiting at least six weeks and follow up with your doctor before.
