Scabs after hair transplantation are part of the healing process as the scalp adjusts to the new hair grafts. During this time, scabs will form in the area where the hair was transplanted, so knowing about them can help you take better care of yourself. Here’s what you should know about scabs after hair transplantation
1. Scabs are caused by the hair transplant process.
Hair transplantation involves the use of a needle or instrument to make small incisions to insert the hair grafts into the scalp. This process may cause scabs to form around the transplanted area, but these scabs are a natural process that reflects the healing and proper placement of the hair grafts.
2. The scab will fall off on its own within 7-14 days.
After the hair transplant, the scab will start to fall off in 7-14 days, depending on the individual and the wound care during that time. Scab shedding is normal and should not be a cause for concern, as it is a process that shows that the wound is healing and the hair grafts are starting to implant in the scalp.
3. Do not scratch or scratch the wound.
Scratching or scratching the wound may cause the transplanted hair grafts to fall out or may cause infection in the wound area. Therefore, avoid touching the wound unnecessarily and do not use your hands to scratch or scratch the wound even if it feels itchy at times.
4. Maintaining cleanliness is important.
After hair transplantation, it is very important to clean the wound. You should use gentle products such as soap or shampoo recommended by your doctor to clean the transplanted area to reduce infection and help the wound heal faster.
5. Avoid exposure to sunlight and hot water.
While the scab has not yet fallen off, avoid direct sunlight or hot water exposure, as this can irritate the wound or cause infection. The wound should be kept clean carefully.
6. Scabs are a good sign.
Scabs forming after a hair transplant is a good sign that the wound is healing properly and the new hair is growing naturally. Therefore, it is expected that there will be some scabs and nothing to worry about.
7. You should consult a doctor if you experience any unusual symptoms.
If you experience any unusual symptoms, such as swelling, redness, or pus, you should see a doctor immediately, as these could be signs of infection or other problems that require immediate treatment.
If you have any further questions or would like to consult a doctor for advice that is specifically tailored to your hair type 😊
