At our Harley Street clinic we’re able to get you back to your normal routine in under 1 week after your procedure with our special in clinic hair washes come day 5 – 7 post op. We can remove up to 90% of the visual effects of surgery in under one week, leaving you ready to face the world again.
The “back to work” hair wash aims to:
-
Remove Crusting and Scabs: This is the primary goal. As the tiny incisions heal, they form small crusts or scabs around the newly implanted follicles. While natural, these are what make the transplant noticeable. Removing them cleanly makes the scalp look much more normal.
-
Normalize Scalp Appearance: Once the crusts are gone, you are left with short stubble. The scalp looks much less irritated, allowing you to return to work or social settings without the procedure being visually obvious.
-
Introduce Normal Shampoos (Gradually): While early washes use gentle cleansers, the “back to work” wash incorporates a mild, doctor-approved shampoo and conditioner to help remove the crusts.
-
Teach Long-Term Care: This wash often serves as a training session for how to wash your hair moving forward, ensuring you are confident and safe in your technique.
