What to Expect After Your ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant

Immediately following your procedure

Your physician will provide you post-procedure instructions after your ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant, including directions for sleeping, activity modification, sun protection of your scalp and any medications, creams or ointments you may require. Most patients experience little pain after hair transplantation. If discomfort does occur, it usually can be controlled with non-aspirin pain relievers such as acetaminophen.

The day and the week following your procedure

You may use baby shampoo or other mild shampoo on your hair the first day following your procedure using a low pressure shower head or the “Pour Cup Shampooing” technique.

The important thing when washing your hair is to be very gentle. Rinse your head with cool to lukewarm water using a low running water pressure on an adjustable showerhead. Alternatively, you may use a cup to rinse the area. Lather a dime-sized amount of mild shampoo or baby shampoo onto your palms and lightly pat the shampoo onto the grafted areas. To avoid manipulating the area, lather the surrounding hair and allow the lather foam to cover the transplanted area. This allows the suds and the water to gradually wash over the grafts. Rinse the suds either using the low pressure showerhead or a cup filled with water.

Hair Care Tips

  • Do not aggressively manipulate the transplanted area with fingertips or fingernails for the first 3 days following the procedure. You may shampoo softly in a circular motion on the 4th day following surgery.
  • Allow your hair to air dry. Do not blow dry, flat iron or use hair styling products the day after surgery or per your physician’s instructions. Hair combing may resume the day after surgery; however the comb should not touch the grafts themselves.
  • You may resume your normal shampooing routine after 7 days, or as instructed by your physician.
  • Follow your physician’s instructions regarding when you can resume use of a blow dryer, hairspray, mousse, gel, chemical hair treatments, perms, hair color, minoxidil (Rogaine) and finasteride (Propecia). Your physician will discuss the shedding of any crusts that may form.
