The transplanted hair will permanently remain in the scalp. You might experience future hair loss on other areas of the scalp but not the treated area.

Once the surgery is completed, patients should not wash or touch the recipient area the first night. We provide a cap to protect the scalp. We also show our patients how to properly wash their hair during a follow-up appointment the following day. They should also sleep with their head elevated in order to avoid rubbing off or detaching any of the grafts while they sleep.

While patients should avoid touching, scratching, or rubbing the hair grafts for the first four days, the grafts will be stronger in their "new home" by the fifth day to the point they won't be able to be accidently dislodged anymore.
