Maintaining Results After Hair Restoration: Tips and Tricks

Hair restoration treatments can restore more than your hair - they can bring you confidence and restore your self-image. For best results, you need to take care of yourself during and after your treatment timeline. This is important for any kind of hair loss treatment, from in-clinic PRP procedures to oral medications that you can take at home.

Luckily, you can promote good hair regrowth through straightforward lifestyle changes and communicating with your medical team. At The Hair Clinic, we always stay available and communicative with our valued patients so that you always have the support you need.

Maintaining Your Results After Your Hair Restoration Treatment

The aftercare methods you should take will depend on the treatment you choose. You could select a minimally-invasive option like Platelet-Rich Plasma or Regenera Activa, or you could choose topical and oral medications.

We will have an in-depth consultation with you before you make your decision to go over the treatment itself, potential results, aftercare and more.

Your plan and suggestions may include the following:

Reevaluate Your Hair Washing Routine

Excessively touching your hair can irritate your scalp and pull out hair. We can discuss your washing routine with you to create a newer, more beneficial routine for you. Our team will suggest products, methods and schedules that could help with your hair restoration. When washing your hair, be gentle and avoid pulling at your scalp.

Consider Your Medications

Are you taking any medications? Please let us know what medications you’re taking because certain types may be counterintuitive for your progress. 

For example, if you choose PRP, you should avoid anti-inflammatory NSAIDs like ibuprofen because these can disrupt the natural inflammatory processes. Platelet-rich plasma treatments rely on your body’s natural inflammatory responses for healing and rejuvenation. 

Avoid Excessive Hair Styling

Hair heat treatments and harsh hair products could harm your hair and your scalp, hindering your hair restoration progress. We welcome you to tell us about the kinds of treatments and products you use for your hair care routine so we can recommend what you should and shouldn’t use. 

Aside from hair care, avoid too-tight hairstyles that put stress on your scalp. 

Avoid Smoking And Alcohol Consumption

Both of these habits have been linked to negative health side effects, including reduced hair health. Smoking can cause oxidative stress and reduced blood flow to your hair follicles, potentially hurting your hair restoration results. [External Link - Does smoking cause hair loss?] Alcohol can lead to dehydration, drying out your hair and lead to hair thinning. 

Practice Stress-Reduction Techniques

Stress is associated with hair loss and many other negative mental and physical symptoms, such as agitation and headaches. Regardless of what hair restoration treatment you choose, we encourage you to manage your stress as best as you can. 

Try to incorporate new activities in your life to manage your stress, such as:

• Yoga. A quick yoga session every day can do wonders for your body and your mind. You can look up easy tutorials on sites like YouTube to find guides for your skill level. 

• Meditation. If you’re not sure how to meditate, look up guides online. Remember that there are many ways to meditate, so explore different styles and find what works for you. 

• Light Exercise. Simple exercises like calm walks can soothe your mind and give your body an easy workout. 

• Hobbies. What kind of hobbies do you like? Indulge in your favourite hobbies or try to pick up some new ones. 

Drink Water And Eat Well

Just like stress levels, managing your diet is also extremely important for everyone. Stay hydrated to promote healthy hair, enhance digestion, keep joints lubricated, etc. 

Stick to a healthy diet with protein, fruits and vegetables. Nutritional deficiencies can hurt your hair, including deficiencies for the following:

• Iron.

• Zinc.

• Fatty Acids.

• Selenium.

• Vitamin D.

• Vitamin E.

• Vitamin A.

• Folic Acid. 

You can resolve these deficiencies with supplements or diet changes. 

Follow Our Instructions And Stay In Touch. We will provide you with detailed instructions and we’ll be happy to discuss any of the above-mentioned tips or anything else you’re curious about. If needed, we can conduct follow up treatments to check in on your progress. 

Minimally invasive treatments that involve injections or micrografts may require more detailed aftercare than simpler topical or oral medications. Unlike in-clinic treatments like PRP, topical and oral medications can be taken at home, and we will work out a schedule that you should follow for how often you should apply or take your medication.
