Does Sweating Affect Hair Transplant?
Baldness is a common struggle, especially for aged people and for a few adults too due to many different reasons.
Hair transplant has been a successful solution for most of them. But mind it, the initial time just after you have undergone a transplant is not easy. You have to take utmost precautions for your newly implanted hair.
Even something as simple as sweat should be invigilated because sweating does affect hair transplants.
Hence, one must stay away from the sunlight and if your locality is too hot and humid, then it is best advised to stay indoors and keep your healing scalp dry, moist free and sweat-free.
Wearing something, like a hat, to cover your head would be very helpful to keep your scalp protected.
But don’t worry, it’s only for an initial couple of weeks after the transplant.
Thereafter, you may engage in light physical movements like brisk walking and eventually get back to your normal exercise routine, of course, if you ever had one.
The sweat can cause irritation, perhaps ruin your scalp arrangement, make the scalp swell up and increase the risk of infection.
Also, exercising or performing any kind of activity that can increase your heart rate by complicating the blood pressure can affect the donor area and the new implantation and can cause the grafts to dislodge.
| There are two types of surgical hair transplants. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). In FUE, singular hair follicles are removed from the back and sides of the scalp to transplant in the affected area. In FUT, hair follicles are extracted with the strip of skin, leaving a long linear scar at the back of the scalp. The FUE patients can resume their exercise routine within two and a half weeks maximum, while FUT patients should wait around a month or so to get to their normal routine. |
