How to remove Scabs and Crust from Scalp

White scabs and crusts begin to form on the 3rd day of hair transplantation, but they do not fall off immediately because they are very tightly attached to the skin. From the eighth day, when the scalp is wet, a gentle massage should be started, since from the tenth day all these shells must have been shed.
Since the follicles are not fully seated yet, massage should be performed without applying too much pressure. Avoid massages with oil until the tenth day. Send your photos to your hair transplant specialist to make sure all the shells are shed.

Hair Wash

Three steps hair washing process:

The following 3 steps should be repeated daily for 10 days until the white scabs, and blood remains are removed.

Leave spray for 45 Minutes

Step 1

Spray is sprayed to cover donor area and hair transplantation area.

Leave spray for 45 Minutes

Step 2

After 45 minutes, rinse the foam with warm water at normal pressure. While rinsing, massage from inside to outside and from outside to inside.

Step 3

Pour shampoo into the palm of your hand and froth with water. Then apply the foam using the same massage movements.

Step 4

Rinse the shampoo in warm water and dry your hair with a normal cotton towel.

Step 5

If all scabs are not removed at the end of the wash, try the same procedure again the next day instead of removing with more pressure. You can return to your normal hair wash routine after all scabs have been removed.

Important All scabs must be removed 12 days after hair transplantation!

Most frequent questions and answers about Hair Transplant

What is the cost of a hair transplant?

The cost depends on the type of hair and the procedures to be used; hence, the price can be calculated only after the examination of the doctor.

Is hair transplantation a painful process? If so, how can the pain be reduced?

Hair transplantation is no longer a painful process because of the way it is performed today. Nonetheless, the doctor decides what a patient should use in the event of any discomfort because otherwise, it is not felt as it is applied under anaesthesia during the procedure.

How do I look like after a hair transplant, and when can I get back to my healthy life?

The hair is washed during the first two days after transplantation, and bandages are made on the donor area. There is no discomfort, swelling or bleeding after the procedure, but in the transplant area, there will be crapping around the grafts. You will return to your healthy life after a few days of rest determined by your doctor.

Should I stay at the hospital after a hair transplant?

You don’t have to stay at the hospital after hair transplant operation

How could you support me if my donor region can not provide enough grafts, and I still want a hair transplant?

We can take from other body parts, such as the hair if more grafts are required.

How long should I wait to shave my head after a FUE hair transplant?

The head is often shaved in preparation for the FUE procedure. It’s possible to shave your head immediately after the procedure, but it’s probably best to wait for three weeks. The appearance of the shaved donor region can depend on a procedure’s total number of FUE grafts. FUE removes intact follicular from the donor region. This will result in less follicular units. When 25% of the follicular units are withdrawn from the donor area, this will leave gaps in the donor area where follicular units have been removed in an attempt to transfer them to the top. However, the number 1 guard will hide these gaps. You can clip to number one at any time after the FUE procedure.

Do you provide a hair transplant guarantee certificate

Indeed, our institution issues a guarantee certificate after hair transplantation.

Can I go back to my professional life immediately after the surgery?

Sure, patients will return immediately after the procedure to their daily lives.

Can a woman be treated with a hair transplant?

Yes, hair transplantation can be performed in women as well as in men. After some tests, it can be performed using precise techniques, because the surgery is performed differently and depending on the type and shape of the hair.

I can highly recommend the clinic. The staff and Ms. Sule herself are friendly and helpful. Questions are always answered in advance and during the treatment days. It is always asked whether you still have any. You will be informed promptly from arrival to departure. Only the anesthetic injections weren't a personal highlight 🙂 In any case, I always felt that I was in good hands.

When it comes to hair transplant there are so many options available in the market that makes the decision making very difficult. However, people’s reviews and their experience helped me make that final decision easily. Therefore, I am writing my personal opinion to help someone else who is exploring the market. The whole process, from the airport pickup to clinic drop off and the transplant process couldn’t be any better. Sule hair is a team of very professional and experienced individuals . From the time you walk in to the clinic until the whole process is done, they make you feel very welcome and make you feel you are in good hands throughout the process. I highly recommend this place for whoever is looking to do hair transplant. Good luck
