PROTECT YOUR HEAD AFTER YOUR HAIR TRANSPLANT

Covering your head from direct sunlight after a hair transplant is essential for several reasons:

1. Protection from UV rays: Direct sunlight contains harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays that can damage the sensitive skin on your scalp. This can lead to sunburn, skin irritation, and potential damage to the newly transplanted hair follicles.

2. Minimising swelling and discomfort: Exposing your scalp to direct sunlight after a hair transplant can increase the risk of swelling and discomfort. Covering your head helps to protect the sensitive area and promote healing.

3. Preventing discolouration: Sun exposure can cause discolouration of the skin on your scalp, especially during the initial healing period after a hair transplant. Covering your head helps maintain the scalp's natural colour and appearance.

4. Promoting proper healing: By keeping your head covered, you create a protective barrier that allows the transplanted hair follicles to heal correctly without interference from external factors like sunlight, dust, or pollutants.

Overall, covering your head from direct sunlight after a hair transplant is essential to ensure the procedure's success and promote optimal healing and growth of the transplanted hair. Be Safe Health - UK Ltd
