cardio after hair transplant

 Cardio after a hair transplant requires waiting for sufficient healing time to avoid dislodging the grafts. Here's a breakdown of the recommended timeline:

• First 1-2 weeks:Avoid strenuous exercise altogether. This is a crucial time for the transplanted hair follicles to establish blood supply and begin to heal. Strenuous activity raises your blood pressure and heart rate, which can dislodge the grafts.

• Weeks 2-4: Light cardio, such as walking or light yoga, is permissible. Avoid any activity that causes sweating as sweat can irritate the scalp and hinder healing.

• After 4 weeks: You can gradually resume most forms of exercise, including cardio. By this time, the grafts should be firmly established, and the risk of dislodgement is significantly reduced. It's still advisable to ease back into your routine and avoid overly strenuous activity for a few more weeks.

Here are some additional tips for resuming cardio after a hair transplant:

• Wear a loose-fitting hat or headband to absorb sweat and minimize friction on the scalp.
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids before, during, and after your workout.
• Listen to your body and take rest days when needed.
• If you experience any pain, swelling, or bleeding, stop exercising and consult your doctor.

It's important to remember that these are general guidelines. The best course of action is to follow the specific instructions provided by your hair transplant surgeon. They will consider your individual healing process and advise you on the appropriate timing for resuming cardio and other activities.
