Is it possible to do sports after a hair transplant?
During the first month, we recommend that you avoid any sporting activity or do very light physical exercise.

If you start to engage in physical activity, be careful not to hit your head or expose your scalp to possible blows.
After 3 months you will be able to make the most of your physical activities. However, you should keep in mind that the recovery period is not completely over.

Hair growth cycle
The first 2 months after the hair transplant, you may go through a period commonly known as “shock loss” or “shock loss”. During this time, the implanted follicles are likely to fall out and some of your natural hair may fall out as well. This is a perfectly normal reaction of your body, so there is no need to worry.
This phenomenon is due to the stress that the operation causes on the scalp. Even if your hair is falling out, keep in mind that the root of the follicle is under the hair tissue and depending on the hair growth cycle, the hair will eventually come out and grow. This is the telogen cycle of the hair.
3 months after hair transplant- At first, it is very likely that the new hair will be thin and excessively fragile and this is normal. The hair is just starting to grow and it will take some time to grow strong and thick. Once all of your new follicles have reached this stage, you will have considerable density.

This follow-up allows the clinic to judge the evolution of your graft and, if necessary, to give you good advice to optimize the growth of new grafts.
