@rootmd: Thinking About a Hair Transplant? Here’s What You Must Know First 💡🧑⚕️ As a hair surgeon, here’s my go-to advice for recovery: 🕒 Your new hair will shed after 3 weeks — totally normal! ⏳ Regrowth takes 6–9 months, so patience is everything 🚿 No scalp washing for the first 3 days post-op 🧼 Then gently rinse with soapy water + pat dry for 5 days 🧢 Wait 5 days to wear a brand new, clean hat — no bacteria allowed 💊 Start thinking about hair loss meds like finasteride or oral minoxidil 🧴 Use a DHT-blocking shampoo to protect your investment 📆 Final results? Expect to see them around 12 months 🔥 Hair transplants are just the start — recovery is the real key 🧠 Follow RootMD for expert tips from a dermatologist + hair surgeon team #hairtransformation #hairtransplant #rootmd #hairsurgeon #hairtok
