Post Hair Transplant Surgery Scabs

Hair loss can be a stressful and confidence-sapping experience, but the good news is that hair transplant surgery can be a highly effective solution. At Elite Hair Restoration Ltd, we are one of the UK's leading hair loss clinics, with a team of experienced surgeons who specialise in FUT and FUE procedures for male, female, and trans patients. 

 

If you are considering hair transplant surgery, it is important to be aware of the recovery process and what to expect. One aspect of this is scabbing, which is a normal and expected part of the healing process. 

 

Scabbing occurs when the small incisions made during the procedure start to heal, and a scab forms over the area. This is a natural part of the process and helps to protect the newly transplanted hair follicles as they settle into their new location. 

 

It is important to resist the urge to scratch or pick at the scabs, as this can damage the follicles and potentially affect the outcome of the procedure. Instead, it is recommended to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your surgeon, which will typically include gentle washing of the scalp with a special shampoo and avoiding exposure to direct sunlight. 

 

The scabs will typically start to fall off naturally between 7-14 days after the procedure, and this is nothing to worry about. It is important to allow them to fall off naturally, rather than picking at them, as this can cause scarring or damage to the newly transplanted hair follicles. 

 

At Elite Hair Restoration Ltd, we offer comprehensive aftercare for all of our surgery patients, including a 24-hour aftercare line that you can call if you have any concerns or questions during your recovery. Our team of experienced surgeons and hair loss specialists are committed to ensuring that you have the best possible outcome from your procedure.
