Hair transplant in spring: Is it a good time?

Hair loss is a problem that affects many people today and tends to be the reason for lack of self-esteem in most cases. This is why more and more people are turning to hair transplantation to put an end to baldness. With the arrival of the flower season, the number of consultations about hair transplants in spring increases: Is it a good time to have a hair transplant?

En Hospital Capilar, experts in capillary graft in Madrid, also with hair clinic in Murcia and in Pontevedra, we tell you everything you need to know if you are thinking of having a hair transplant in spring.

Is it advisable to have a hair transplant in spring?

The hair transplant can be done at any time of the year, as long as the postoperative care is adapted to the chosen dates and we strictly comply with them. However, having a hair transplant in spring is a very good option, mainly due to the weather that accompanies this season.

After a hair implant, it is essential to comply with some postoperative rules to guarantee the correct evolution of the graft and, thus, achieve an optimal result. Some of these indications have to do with specific weather conditions such as the incidence of the sun or heat, among others. If we opt for the hair graft in spring, there will be favorable weather conditions for a correct postoperative period. Therefore, It is highly recommended to perform the hair graft in spring.

Advantages of a hair graft in spring

The truth is that opting for a hair graft in spring has its advantages. From Hospital Capilar We will tell you about some of the benefits of choosing this spring period to undergo a hair transplant.

Good temperature

During the spring better temperatures are enjoyed, neither excessive cold nor heat. This makes the postoperative period more bearable, since excessive sweating caused by heat can cause scalp infections, such as a folliculitis, being able to compromise the aesthetics of the results.

Before the summer holidays

In relation to the above, if we opt for hair grafting in the spring, we perform the first weeks of the postoperative period, which are the most important, before the summer months. During the summer season we go out more to the street, the incidence of the sun is more harmful and we go to beaches and swimming pools, which is detrimental to the implant. In other words, hair grafting in summer is also viable, but we must be more strict with the postoperative indications.

Arrives with hair in September

The results of a hair transplant are definitively given once the first year has elapsed after the intervention. However, at 6 months you can already see the first changes and the hair is already in the growth phase. In case of performing the hair transplant in spring, you would arrive with hair at the beginning of the new course in September.

What to take into account after a hair transplant in spring

The hair transplant results they not only depend on the skill and experience of the medical team in charge, but also on the good practices carried out by the patient during the postoperative period. If we carry out the hair graft in spring, it is essential to take into account a series of aspects to avoid possible complications that compromise the health of the grafts.   

Avoid direct sun exposure

As we have previously commented, direct sun exposure is detrimental to grafts. It is key to protect ourselves from the sun during the first weeks after the intervention.

not practice sport

We will not be able to practice sports until the first month. Exercise could be resumed after 15 days if it is light and does not involve excessive sweating.

Do not wear hats and caps

It is important do not touch or manipulate the recipient area during the first weeks. This is why the use of hats, caps, helmets or caps is completely discouraged. After 10 days, its use can be resumed only if the hat or cap is loose and does not rub against the grafts.

Protect us from rain and wind

Rain and strong gusts of wind can carry dirt that accumulates in the area of ​​the grafts, causing infections. This is why on days with rainfall or intense wind try to stay at home as much as possible, at least during the first weeks after the hair transplant.

Avoid sexual intercourse the first few weeks

As with the sport after hair transplant, it will not be possible to resume active sexual relations until after the first month. After 15 days it can be practiced again if it is passive and does not cause sweating or sudden movements.
