Hair transplantation is not just a procedure performed on the day of the operation; correct preparation and effective care play a major role in the success of the process. In this article, we present the 7 critical steps you must know before and after hair transplantation.
1. Professional Consultation
Analyzing the hair structure, examining the degree of hair loss, and determining the required number of grafts is the first step.
CTN Clinic performs personalized planning by analyzing each patient’s hair and donor area in detail.
2. Pre-Operation Preparation
-
Reducing alcohol and cigarette consumption
-
Discontinuing blood-thinning medications
-
A healthy sleep routine
These steps ensure the operation proceeds more safely.
3. Operation Day Process
First, local anesthesia is applied at the clinic. Then, the graft harvesting and transplantation stages begin.
CTN Clinic makes the process stress-free with a comfortable operation environment.
4. The First 48 Hours are Vital
During this process:
-
Sleeping position must be carefully maintained
-
The head area must be protected from impacts
-
No washing should be done
5. First Wash and Aftercare
The first wash is generally performed 48–72 hours later.
CTN Clinic applies the correct method by providing professional washing services to its patients.
6. Shock Loss Period
Temporary shock loss may be seen in the first month. This is a normal process. Hair follicles do not fall out; only the hair strands are renewed.
