Hair loss, hair loss or baldness is a problem for many people. This problem, which affects both women and men, can be easily treated with the technology that is developing today. The procedure is an invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia rather than surgery.

Patients generally prefer hair transplant treatment in the spring and winter months. However, there are also patients who prefer the summer months for this procedure for various reasons. There is a large concentration of foreign patients who come from abroad and want to undergo hair transplant treatment in our country and then go on a tourist trip.

There is no specific season for hair transplant treatments; the procedure can be done in four seasons. It is generally believed that hair transplantation in the summer months causes infection due to sweating, but because there are no incisions during the procedure, recovery is fast and there is no risk of infection. If the rules recommended by your doctor are followed in the first 15 days, the most important phase after application, there is no harm in performing the procedure during the summer season.

The benefits of the sun to our bodies are countless, but uncontrolled and unprotected exposure to ultraviolet rays negatively affects both hair and skin. Sunlight weakens healthy hair, dries and weakens hair strands and also affects color. People who have had a hair transplant can also be negatively affected by sunlight. It is recommended to protect them from sunlight and use a hat between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., especially within 15 days of treatment. After the hair transplant treatment, the scalp that is crusted in the treated area is adversely affected by sunlight.

For the first 3 days after the hair transplant, the transplanted area should not come into contact with water, so that the transplanted hair follicles become stronger. As many doctors recommend, swimming in the sea for the first 15 days after the procedure is not recommended. There is no harm in swimming after the first 15 days, but as we said before, it is necessary to use a hat to protect the treated hair area from ultraviolet rays, which can negatively affect the treated hair area, and to rest in the shade and in a cool place during the hours when the sun’s rays are strongest.

Other things to consider during the first 15 days after hair transplant treatment can be briefly listed as follows:

The sleeping position should be supine. During sleep, it is important not to touch the hair in the area where the hair transplant was performed and not to make any hard movements. Other things to consider during the first 15 days after hair transplant treatment can be briefly listed as follows:
