Why winter is the best season for Hair transplant?

Hair transplant:

better in winter or summer? This a very common question asked by many people interested in a hair treatment

It is always believed that winters are the seasons that need more hair care and this probably true to some extent but often many myths are linked to hair care in winters. Among these common myths that people say about hair care in winters only few are true thus it is equally important that one must know the difference between the myths and the real hair care

You can choose to go for a hair transplant anytime at all. It doesn’t matter which season of the year it is. Though if you are conscious about your appearance just after you get your transplant done, you can consider going in for a transplant during winters as you can conveniently put on any headgear during winters with minimum discomfort. Also, care should be taken that you do not expose your freshly transplanted hair to the harmful rays of the sun.

After a hair transplant, it is necessary to avoid sun exposure after a hair transplant, at least during the first days; this is because sun exposure hinders the healing process and makes scars become more visible. Therefore, sun can damage your hair transplant.

You must note that exposing the transplanted area directly to the sun for long hours can have adverse effects on your healing and graft survival. For this reason, it is advised to wear a cap and use sunscreen whenever you stay in the sun for long hours. This should be applied also in spring and summer. In winter there is nothing much to worry about with regards to the sun. For aesthetic reasons, if you do not want your freshly transplanted hair to be noticeable in the early stages, winter is better for you because you can easily wear beanies and hats without question from outsiders

Our doctors at our Skin Image clinic in Faridabad also state that “Hair transplant operations can be performed in everyone of the 12 months of the year. This question is very common to us: what is the right time for hair transplant? Well, anyone who feels himself ready can have a hair transplant surgery at any time of the year, no matter if it’s summer or winter”.
