Hair transplant and UV protection: How to protect your scalp after surgery
この記事の概要
Hair transplantation is an effective treatment for AGA (male pattern baldness), but the scalp is in a very delicate state after surgery. It is especially important to protect the scalp from ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light can damage the skin and interfere with the success of the hair transplant. This article details how to protect the scalp from UV rays after hair transplantation.
Condition of the scalp after hair transplant and the effects of ultraviolet rays
Scalp condition after hair transplant
Delicate condition: The scalp after hair transplant is very delicate until the transplanted hair follicles settle in. It takes several weeks to several months for the wounds from the surgery to heal completely .
Risk of infection: When UV rays damage the skin, the risk of infection increases.
Effects of UV rays
DNA Damage: UV rays damage the DNA of skin cells, preventing them from regenerating.
Inflammation: UV rays can cause inflammation on the scalp, which can inhibit the transplanted hair follicles from taking root .
Pigmentation: Exposure to ultraviolet rays can cause pigmentation, resulting in uneven coloring of the scalp.
Post-operative UV protection
1. Protection on the go
Wear a hat: A hat is the most effective way to protect your scalp from UV rays, especially if you choose a wide-brimmed hat, which will cover more of your scalp.
Material: Choose a material that is breathable and keeps your scalp from getting sweaty. Cotton or linen are good choices.
Timing: Always wear a hat when going out, especially during the sun’s strongest hours (10am-4pm).
Use a parasol: A parasol is also an effective way to protect against UV rays. When you go out, use a parasol to protect your scalp from UV rays.
SPF value: Choose an SPF of 30 or higher and a broad spectrum sunscreen that provides both UVA and UVB protection.
How and when to use: Apply evenly to scalp 30 minutes before going outside, and reapply every 2 hours. Reapplication is also required after sweating or going into water.
3. Protect yourself from UV rays indoors
Use window film: It is also necessary to take measures against ultraviolet rays entering through windows. By sticking UV-blocking film on windows, you can prevent ultraviolet rays even when you are indoors.
Use blackout curtains: Use blackout curtains to reduce the amount of UV rays that enter your home.
Additional measures in everyday life
1. Post-surgery hair washing and scalp care
Timing of hair washing: After your hair transplant surgery, start washing your hair at the appropriate time as instructed by your doctor. Usually, you will be instructed to avoid washing your hair for a few days to a week after the surgery.
How to wash your hair gently: Wash your hair by gently massaging it with the pads of your fingers, being careful not to use your nails. After washing, gently pat your hair dry with a towel, but do not rub it too hard.
2. Moisturizing and scalp care
Use a moisturizer: After hair transplant, the scalp is prone to dryness, so use a moisturizer to keep the scalp moist. We recommend a fragrance-free moisturizer for sensitive skin.
Choose the right hair care products: After hair transplant , it is important to use gentle shampoos and conditioners. Sulfate-free and paraben-free products are good choices.

Mental care and mental health
Psychological support: Psychological support is also important during the recovery period after hair transplant . It is recommended that you seek counselling or join a support group to reduce anxiety and stress.
Practice relaxation techniques: Practice relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation and deep breathing exercises to maintain mental stability.
Summary
The scalp after hair transplant is in a very delicate state, so it is extremely important to protect it from ultraviolet rays. Practice comprehensive UV protection measures, such as using a hat or parasol, choosing and applying an appropriate sunscreen, and taking measures against ultraviolet rays indoors. In addition, by not forgetting to wash your hair properly and take care of your scalp and mind in your daily life, you can maximize the effect of the hair transplant and maintain healthy hair.
Hiro Clinic recommends Natural Pro FUE treatment, which can be used on hairless areas where oral medication or injection therapy is ineffective, and leaves barely noticeable scars. Hair roots are harvested from the back of the head and partially shaved, making post-operative care easier, and only the required number of hairs are transplanted with a natural finish. It is a same-day procedure using local anesthesia, and provides gentle, gradual hair growth at an affordable price, making it a safe option in Japan.
