Resuming Normal Activities after Hair Transplant Surgery
Category: FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) , Hair Transplant Surgery , Post Operative ConcernsYou may have heard the expression, “if you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen”. Similarly, for the first few weeks after hair transplant surgery, it’s important to minimize certain “normal” activities such as physical exercise or doing anything that will negatively impact your hair transplant. But which activities are safe and which aren’t? How long do you have to wait after hair restoration surgery to resume some of these activities?
Hair loss forum member “Matt-Sydney” recently had undergone hair restoration surgery and wants to know when he can resume using a sauna. Visit this hair loss forum thread to learn when it’s safe to resume this and other activities and offer your experiences and input.

. Micrografting is one of the most advanced techniques in hair transplants and continues to provide the best results. Finding an experienced surgeon in LA who specializes in this technique can be challenging, but Beverly Hills Hair Restoration currently uses this technique for hair restoration. Dr. Kahen has been performing hair restoration surgery with this technique for several years, and he’s become one of the top surgeons in Beverly Hills with many satisfied patients.

new-hair,
Thanks for your comments.
The term “micrografting” is often misused and often associated with older and outdated technology like “minigrafts”. A “micrograft” is simply a one or two haired graft.
Today’s state of the art hair transplants involve follicular unit grafting – harvesting and transplanting hairs as they occur naturally in groups of 1, 2, 3, and 4 hairs.
Since you mentioned Dr. Kahen, how are you affiliated with him? Are you a patient, do you work for him?, or are you him?
As you may be aware, we often have a number of clinics coming to our sites to try to plug their doctor in an attempt to drum up business. But educated patients of this community know that it takes a lot more than name-dropping to give a surgeon credibility.
Surgeons recommended by our community must go through a transparent review process and be evaluated privately by the publishers (myself and Pat Hennessey) and publicly by our large patient and physician community. See how we recommend surgeons: http://hair-restoration-info.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/7466060861/m/6531083973.
If your doctor is up to the challenge of being reviewed by educated patients and leading physicians, you are welcome to post examples of his work on our hair loss forum at http://hair-restoraiton-info.com/eve.
All the Best,
