Hair transplant surgery is an effective way to provide natural hair regrowth for people suffering from thinning or balding hair. However, care of the donor area (the area from which hair is harvested) is also very important to maintain the health of the transplanted hair. This article details how to care for the donor area and maintain its long-term health after hair transplant surgery.
Basic care of the donor area after hair transplant surgery
1. Immediate Postoperative Care
Early care of the donor area is important for a successful surgery and a quick recovery.
Keep it clean: Keeping the donor area clean will reduce the risk of infection. Follow the cleaning instructions given to you by your doctor.
Avoid excessive friction: Be careful to avoid excessive touching or rubbing of the donor area. This is especially important in the weeks following surgery.
Proper Moisturization: To prevent the donor area from drying out, you need to keep it properly moisturized. Use a moisturizer prescribed by your doctor.
2. Daily care
Care of the donor area will continue for several weeks after surgery.
Gentle Shampoo: Use a gentle shampoo on the donor area to avoid over-irritation.
Activities to avoid: It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise or activities that cause excessive sweating as they may put strain on the donor area.
Long-term health care
1. Regular check-ups
Regular check-ups with your doctor will allow us to monitor the health of the donor area and provide any necessary care.
Annual check-ups: See a specialist once a year to check the condition of the donor area and the transplant site.
2. Use the right hair care products
The use of proper hair care products is important to maintain the health of the donor area and the transplanted hair.
Non-irritating shampoo: Choose a fragrance-free, mild shampoo that is gentle on your scalp.
Conditioner: Use a good conditioner to keep your scalp and hair moisturized.
3. Healthy lifestyle
Hair health is closely related to the health of the whole body. Try to follow these lifestyle habits:
Eat a balanced diet: Eat a diet rich in vitamins, minerals and proteins to provide the nutrients your hair needs for healthy hair.
B Vitamins: Promote hair growth. Found in eggs, nuts and whole grains.
Iron: Promotes blood circulation and keeps hair healthy. Found in red meat, spinach and legumes.

Scalp massage increases blood circulation and aids in hair growth.
Massage regularly: Use the pads of your fingers to gently massage your scalp. Doing this a few times a week will improve blood circulation and promote healthy hair.
