A hair transplant is a simple procedure performed to treat hair loss. After trying every other form of hair fall solution, if hair loss is still going on, then a hair transplant is opted for. The latest techniques available in Hair Sure International give you the best natural-looking hair results. In techniques like FUE and Sapphire hair transplant, the recovery period is shorter with minimal scarring. Post hair transplant care is crucial for the best outcome and long-lasting results. Many people prefer hair transplants in the summers since they have a vacation and less work stress. This gives ample time to relax and recoup from the surgery. But sweat is one of the main concerns for many during summers. Hence we will address this issue in this blog.

Post – Hair Transplant care

There are many factors for long term hair loss. In women, hormones play a major role, whereas, in men, genetics play a major role. The basic principle in hair transplantation is that the surgeons take the hair tissue from the area in which hair grows faster and thicker, and then they place the tissue on the balding area. There are various techniques depending on how the hair is extracted from the donor area and placed in the recipient area. India, especially Hair Sure International, has become a popular medical tourist spot for patients worldwide. Our world-class treatment and cost-effectiveness make Hair Sure International a popular choice both domestically and internationally.

The hair loss journey does not end with the surgery. Post hair transplant care is the basis for the longevity of the results. The basic hair care is as follows:-

Do not wash the head thoroughly. Otherwise, the grafts will get loose.

Smoke or drinking alcoholic beverages slows down the healing process. Hence one should stop consuming them till the scars heal.

The sleeping position should be at an angle, and should not rub the scalp against the pillow.

Do not go swimming till the grafts are intact or until your surgeon permits you.

Effects of Sweat on Hair Transplant

In summer, sweat is a major factor in how great a hair transplant will be. 

• Sweat prevents the free flow of air to the scalp. Hence the grafts will not survive properly.
• Sweating also affects the growth of transplanted grafts. 
• Sweating causes infection in the transplanted grafts. Even if one graft catches an infection, it quickly spreads to other grafts. This is counter-productive to the purpose of the surgery.

Protect your Scalp from Sweat Post-Hair Transplant

• Lactic acid, in the sweat, has a bad effect on hair and might also lead to hair loss. One should avoid sweating after a hair transplant. Anxiety, stress, and paranoia result in sweating. During any of these conditions, the body naturally starts sweating from head to toe, and if this happens constantly, it can also lead to hair loss.
• To reduce sweating, do not lift heavy stuff and reduce physical activity. Suppose you are in a profession where you cannot avoid strenuous physical activity, consult your doctor. Hence, it is advisable to undergo surgery when you can at least take a couple of weeks’ rest. 
• Also, avoid heavy-duty workout plans like HIIT, Zumba, aerobics, etc. They aim to burn out calories, which will inevitably cause sweat. If you want to do some workouts, do some light walking. 
• Also, stay away from saunas, steam baths or staying in very hot places. These activities can cause more harm than workouts. Wait for 10 days following the hair transplant to resume any exercise. After 10 days, you can start with simple yoga and walking. Physical activities can be increased, under a doctor’s supervision, depending on how good is the healing process. Avoid scratching or touching the transplanted grafts after the transplant.

• Even if you sweat, you should carefully clean the grafted area as per the washing instructions given by your surgeon.
• Stay away from the sun and stay indoors as much as possible. Even if you have to go out, carry an umbrella. Do not wear tight hats or wrap tight scarves. Hats and scarves will cause sweating. You can gently wrap a bandana around your scalp or loose-fitting headgear.
• During summer, dehydration is more than in the other seasons, and the skin and scalp are more vulnerable to UV rays. 

In conclusion, sweating is bad for hair transplants, but you do not have to postpone your hair transplant in the summer. As long as you follow all the aforementioned care, summer is also a good time. It promotes healing, and you can take sufficient rest. Reach us today at HairSure International for all your hair related problems.
