Home·Aftercare
The surgery takes a day. We stay for a year.
Your next four appointments are booked before you leave the building — because the result you’re paying for is grown over twelve months, not twelve hours.
The recovery calendar
What happens when.
Days 1–3 · Saline, little and often
Mist the grafts through the waking day, sleep elevated, let the swelling do its unglamorous work. Your kit has everything; the 24-hour line has the rest.
Day 2 · Your first wash — done by us
You come back in and we wash your hair for you, showing you the technique your scalp needs for the week ahead.
Days 4–7 · Washing at home
The provided shampoo, warm water, no pressure. Redness settles for most patients across this week.
Days 8–14 · The scabs lift
Gentle massage at wash softens them away. Your two-week review falls here — your surgeon checks the grafts, not a photograph.
Weeks 3–4 · Back to normal
Haircuts, training and pools come back in stages — your exact windows are confirmed at review rather than guessed from a leaflet.
Months 2–4 · The quiet phase
Transplanted hairs commonly shed before they regrow. It looks like a step backwards; it’s the cycle working.
Months 4–6 · First real growth
Density starts to build — your three- and six-month reviews measure it against the plan.
Months 12–18 · The result matures
Hairlines arrive first, crowns take longest. The twelve-month review closes your year; the result keeps refining after it.
Every scalp runs its own clock — your milestones are set, and reset, at your four surgeon reviews.
Included, not extra
The year after surgery, accounted for in advance.
Elsewhere the year that follows is sold back to you in pieces — the reviews, the medication, the treatments that support growth, each with its own invoice. Here it is settled before you agree to anything, and it starts the moment you leave the building.

Your kit — medication, washes, sleep support and written instructions, yours on the day.
After your surgery
The result is grown over a year.
Most clinics wave goodbye at the door. Your price includes a twelve-month aftercare programme — because the surgery is only the beginning.
Scheduled follow-ups with your surgeon — the same doctor every time — at 2 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months.
Platelet-rich plasma treatments through the year to support graft growth.
A direct number to the clinical team for the moments questions can't wait.
Bandage removal, washing routine and sleep guidance — set out for you day by day.
All of it, inside every price.
Plan yours with your surgeon →The first 48 hours
Precise, calm, and done for you.

Day two, at the clinic
Your first wash is our job.
The most nerve-racking moment of recovery — touching your grafts for the first time — doesn’t happen alone at home. You come back to us: bandage off, first wash done by the team, technique shown to you hands-on, so every wash after it feels routine.
- Bandage removal and graft check by the clinical team
- Washing technique demonstrated on your own hair
- A day-by-day washing and sleeping routine to follow at home
Medication, handled properly
Prescribed by your surgeon. Included in your price.
Everything your recovery needs — and, where it forms part of your longer-term plan, prescription medication is discussed and prescribed by your surgeon personally at consultation. Nothing promoted, nothing sold: prescribed, explained, and included.
The year of reviews
Four appointments, already yours.
Booked before you leave on surgery day — with the same surgeon who performed your procedure, every time. Each review pairs with a PRP session to support the growing result.
What the year looks like →- 1Two weeks — healing check, washing routine review, early questions answered
- 2Three months — shedding phase complete, first regrowth assessed + PRP
- 3Six months — density building; progress photographed against your baseline + PRP
- 4Twelve months — the result judged properly, with your surgeon + final PRP
