The grafts are in place, the hairline is designed, and the hard part is over. Now begins the most critical phase: Recovery.
At Liv Hospital, we tell our patients that a successful result is 50% surgery and 50% aftercare. The first 10 days are biologically crucial; the newly implanted follicles are like fresh seeds in the ground—they are fragile and have not yet taken root. A bump on the head, scratching an itch, or sleeping flat can dislodge a graft permanently.
Unlike “hair mills” that send you home with a generic brochure, Liv Hospital provides a medically supervised Recovery Program. From your first wash performed by our nurses to advanced wound-healing therapies like Hyperbaric Oxygen, we ensure your investment is protected every step of the way.
The first 72 hours are when the grafts are most vulnerable. They are held in place only by a blood clot (fibrin).
You may feel mild throbbing or burning in the donor area once the anesthesia wears off. This is normal.
We do not want you to wash your hair alone for the first time. You will return to Liv Hospital for the Clinical First Wash.
The Procedure:
Note: After this session, you will perform this wash daily at your hotel/home for the next 7 days.
This is the milestone you are waiting for. By Day 10, the grafts are anchored (the root has connected to the blood supply). The scabs on top are now just dead skin and need to go.
The “Massage Wash”:

This is the period that panics most patients. Just as you are enjoying your new look, the hair falls out.
What is Shock Loss?
Hair growth is slow. Patience is your only option.
Timeline | What You See | What is Happening |
Month 0–1 | Scabs fall off; Shock Loss begins. | Roots are anchoring and entering rest phase. |
Month 2–3 | “The Silent Period.” You look bald. | Follicles are resting underground. |
Month 4 | “The Awakening.” Tiny pimples may appear. | New, thin hairs push through the skin. This can cause ingrown hairs (folliculitis). |
Month 6 | 50% Growth. Thin, wispy coverage. | Hair shafts thicken. You see a visible change. |
Month 8–10 | 80% Growth. Density increases. | Texture improves. Hair becomes style-able. |
Month 12 | Final Result. | The full density and thickness are revealed. |
Month 18 | Final Result (Crown). | The crown (vertex) has less blood flow, so it takes longer to grow. |
We don’t just wait for nature; we help it. To speed up healing and reduce Shock Loss, we offer advanced adjunctive therapies.
Oxygen is fuel for healing.
To protect your investment, strictly avoid the following:
Complications are rare in a hospital setting, but you must be vigilant. Contact your Liv Patient Coordinator immediately if you see:
Uncontrolled Bleeding: If gentle pressure doesn’t stop bleeding after 10 minutes.
You can usually wear a loose-fitting hat after 3 to 5 days once the risk of dislodging grafts has passed, but avoid tight caps for at least two weeks.
You should wait until all scabs have fallen off and the incisions are fully healed, typically after two weeks, before using concealers or fibers.
Yes, the scalp is numb and can burn easily, and sun exposure can cause pigmentation of the healing scars; wear a hat or use sunscreen after the first two weeks.
You can cut the donor area after 2 weeks, but wait at least 1 month before using scissors on the recipient area and 3 months before using clippers.
If you bump your head in the first few days, check for bleeding; if a graft is dislodged, there will be blood; contact your clinic immediately for advice.
