If you exercise regularly, you may be eager to return to your regular fitness routine after your hair transplant procedure. However, it is vital that you limit your exercise during the first 14 days following surgery. We recommend resting and relaxing for the first 5 days following your hair transplant Dubai. You might be surprised to learn that you can typically resume your normal workout routine two weeks after FUE surgery. After one week, you can make small steps to reintroduce a gentle activity that does not make you sweat back into your daily routine.
The risks of exercising after hair transplant surgery are significant.
You should do everything possible following your hair transplant Dubai surgery to promote healthy hair growth and reduce your risk of infection. It is critical to understand that exercise after a hair transplant may have a negative impact on your recovery since it might cause perspiration, dislodge hair transplants, straining, and infection.
Sweating When we exercise, we sweat. Sweating may jeopardize your hair transplant's healing. Sweating may irritate your scalp during a period when it is extremely sensitive following surgery, which we will discuss further later. You should also avoid sitting in the sun for at least two weeks after your hair transplant procedure.
Displacing hair grafts The first five days after your procedure are essential because you can easily remove hair transplants as they heal without straining or tugging the grafts. With movement, you increase your chances of this happening. Avoid heavy exercise for the first 14 days to prevent scalp irritation.
Straining It may seem unusual, but straining during exercise may increase the likelihood of hair transplants occurring. This is because straining causes increased pressure on your scalp.
Infection Gyms are not the cleanest environments, and it will be tempting to touch the transplanted region while exercising. This could introduce dirt, debris, and possibly an infection into the area where your newly transplanted grafts were inserted. This is not ideal, especially during the first 14 days when the scalp is healing quickly. As a result, we recommend avoiding gyms for the first 14 days after a hair transplant.
When Can I Resume Normal Exercise After a Hair Transplant?
After 7 days, patients can engage in modest workouts that do not produce sweat, such as walking. After 14 days, patients may engage in intense exercise that causes them to strain and sweat. Patients who swim or participate in contact sports, such as boxing, must wait one month before returning to their usual activities.
