Will Brushing After Hair Transplant Damage The Grafts?

Hair Transplant is a surgical procedure that is done to restore the natural hairs that were lost of early hair fall. In this process, hair follicles from the baldness resistance area called as “Donor Area” are removed and are implanted onto the balding area called as “Recipient Area.” The hair grafts that are removed from donor area are usually hair follicles that have resistance to balding.

Hair Transplant is a daylong procedure and needs some necessary pre and post cautions to be taken into consideration. In the initial consultation, surgeon assesses the patient’s scalp, listens to the desires of patients and advises him the proper procedure that will produce maximum results for him/her.

Hair Transplant may not be suitable for everyone as it needs a good number of hair follicles to be available at the “Donor Area.” Anyone with early stages of hair fall is more suitable than the one who has lost a lesser amount of natural hairs from the scalp. So it is recommended to consult an expert surgeon before going into any hair transplant procedure.
