SWIMMING AFTER HAIR TRANSPLANTATION
There’s nothing like taking a quick walk in the river, the sea or the ocean or a dip in a pool. However, if you make a new plantation in Turkey, you should avoid branches. Swimming after hair transplant can pose a danger to your newly transplanted hair follicles. That’s why you should wait until you’re fully healed before swimming. However, after a period of 30 days, you can swim without fear.
It is highly recommended to wear a bonnet while swimming in the pool.
In this article, we highlighted some of the most important reasons why wearing a cap after a hair transplant helps protect your hair and head from potential dangers you may encounter while swimming after a transplant.
It is also recommended to wear a bonnet while swimming in salty water after hair transplantation.
THE IMPORTANCE OF BATH BONES AFTER HAIR TRANSPLANTATION
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM CHLORINATED WATER DANGERS
Of course, chlorinated water helps control viruses and bacteria in the water. However, they can have a potentially devastating effect on hair transplantation. Studies show that chlorinated water damages postoperative hair transplantation. Therefore, instead of risking the results of the surgery, you should avoid swimming after hair transplantation or wear a bath cap every time you dive.
4 months after the hair transplant, you can swim freely without wearing a cap if you wish.
If you want to swim without wearing a bonnet, you will have to wait for about 4 months to be able to swim safely without exposing your hair transplants to the dangers of chlorinated water. After 4 months, the donor scalp and hair transplant will likely be healed.
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM OCEAN WATER
Years ago, many surgeons recommended swimming in the ocean right after hair transplant surgery because salt water was believed to stimulate the healing process. But today the ocean is no longer the cleanest place it was years ago. It contains several contaminants that can potentially damage your scalp and donor areas if they haven’t healed properly. Wearing a bath cap keeps the scalp, donor area and head dry while swimming and thus protects against the dangers of seawater. The same goes for scuba diving.
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM FRESH WATER HAZARDS
Freshwater also contains several potential contaminants. This means exposing your head to the body of fresh water increases the risk of post-surgical infection.
Salt water will not improve hair growth.
PROTECT THE HAIR SKIN FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE
When you swim, the water rubs your scalp and donor areas. This could potentially cause damage and prolong the healing process. Wearing bonnets while swimming prevents water from physically damaging the scalp and donor area.
