Recommended post operation aftercare / timeframes / limitations - thoughts?

[SeanT1]

Hello everyone,
As this is an open forum I was wondering if we could discuss your thoughts on what you can and can't do with your hair weeks/months after a hair transplant.

This document was given to me from my clinic, what do you think of the timeframes?
Do you think the restrictions are accurate, too soon, or perhaps too long?

In addition to this, they also mentioned no derma rolling until 2 months post operation.
I'm personally looking forward to the 3 month mark so I can use clippers on my hair!
(Although I think 2 months may be safe)

Regardless, I hope others find this document helpful!

Solarium/sunrooms 6 weeks, more like 6 months

Other than that looks pretty true, but just use your common sense and it will be fine

I thought this too, can't imagine why anyone would want to expose a recipient area to such UV Rays so soon.

My personal take on this is to always follow your surgeon's advice to a tee! He/She may have specific advice as to their chosen follow up aftercare protocol due to the results that they get, etc.

Thanks sir, I agree.

Although, do you think I could get away with using an electric clippers to cut my hair after two months?
