Can I have a hair transplant in summer?

Summer is synonymous with disconnection, rest and also implies free time that we do not always have. If you suffer from alopecia and your hair loss is irreversible, you probably know that the most effective solution is to have a hair transplant. Perhaps you can take advantage of the time you are on vacation to have the procedure done, since it is totally compatible with the hottest months of the year.

What are the advantages of having a hair transplant in summer?

The procedure has the same medical guarantees as if you have it done in winter or any other time of the year.

In summer our mood is reinforced and favors the recovery process and our self-esteem.

It is the most advisable time of the year since this period facilitates the recovery process and a more bearable postoperative period.

Hair grafting is an intervention for which you are not granted medical leave from work. By having the operation in summer you do not have to request days off work.

The definitive results of the hair transplant, whatever the time of year in which you have it done, are visible one year after the intervention. The advantage of having the graft in summer is that, the following summer, you will have hair with the desired hair density. In addition, the hair begins to grow 3 months after the intervention, therefore, the return to work will coincide with the growth phase of your hair.

What are the precautions I should follow if I have a hair transplant in summer?

• Avoid sun exposure: in summer the sun's radiation is very strong and can damage the hair graft. You should be very careful and protect yourself well, especially during the first weeks after the operation. From the tenth day you should wear a cap or hat.

• Avoid swimming in swimming pools or at the beach: the chemical substances that are introduced into the water of swimming pools can irritate both the donor and recipient areas of your head.

• Control your sweating: you should keep in mind that if your body temperature rises and you sweat excessively, the healing process could be altered. It is very important, therefore, that you avoid doing sports that involve great effort until the first month after the intervention. After this period you can exercise, but with great caution, protecting the operated area.
