Can I Touch My Head After Hair Transplant?

After a hair transplant procedure, it is generally recommended to avoid touching or rubbing the transplanted area for a certain period. This is to allow the newly transplanted hair follicles to establish themselves in their new location and minimize the risk of dislodging them.

The specific instructions regarding when you can touch your head will vary depending on the surgical technique used and the recommendations of your hair transplant surgeon. In most cases, you will be advised to avoid touching or washing the transplanted area for the first few days after the procedure.

Once the initial healing phase is complete, which typically takes around 10 to 14 days, you may be able to gently touch your head. However, it is important to be cautious and avoid applying excessive pressure or scratching the transplanted area. Vigorous rubbing or scratching can still potentially damage the delicate newly transplanted follicles.

It is always best to follow the post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon. They will provide you with specific guidelines tailored to your individual case to ensure the best possible outcome for your FUE hair transplant in Peshawar.
