After 1 month of hair transplant, it is common and normal to experience certain symptoms.
Shock loss occurs one month after hair transplant surgery. During this stage, the transplanted hair falls out due to the stress the scalp endures during the procedure. Although the hair falls out, the follicles remain, so the hair will grow back stronger and thicker. Shock loss typically lasts around two weeks, although it varies depending on the patient.
Scalp redness and swelling usually reduce significantly within the first 15 days. If these symptoms persist after a month, it is advisable to visit a hair clinic to assess the condition of the area and begin treatment if necessary.
Between two weeks and a month after the hair transplant, we can resume certain activities that were previously restricted.
During the first month, it's important to avoid sports and physical activities that involve excessive sweating to prevent infection, inflammation, and damage to the grafted area. After two weeks, we can resume light activities, but we can gradually resume our exercise routine after a month.
Another important aspect is the possibility of covering the head. After one month, patients can resume wearing caps, hats, and helmets without risk of affecting the graft. However, it is advisable to choose breathable materials to avoid excessive sweating and to avoid excessive pressure or rubbing against the graft area.
