What are Hair Transplant scabs? How to remove scabs after a hair transplant? How long before scabs fall off after hair transplant?

It seems that you have undergone hair transplant surgery, and the same question is striking in your mind. Don’t worry. I’m glad to guide you and solve all your queries about hair transplants. 

First of all, congratulations on having your Hair Transplant. It’s very important to get a hair transplant done by a good surgeon and at the right clinic. Similarly, aftercare and precautions are also important. Most of the patients are very much confused about hair transplant scabs, how to remove them, etc. This guide will ease your mind and put your questions to rest.

What are hair transplant scabs?

  • Hair Transplant scabs are born out of the trauma inflicted on the scalp due to the small incisions while grafting.
  • It takes a few days for this wound to heal completely.
  • The scabs start forming on the 3rd day itself but at this point, it is tightly attached to the scalp.
  • Normally, these scabs fall off in a matter of 7-14 days and depend on the number of hair grafts and the density and size of the incisions.
  • Scabs help to protect the grafts hence it is important not to pick at it.

Hair falling with scabs after Hair Transplant

When scabs fall, short hairs(grafts) that were implanted also generally fall out. This is the expected phase. You don’t have to worry about your grafts. Your follicles are alive under the skin and new hairs will start to grow in about 3-4 months. If there are any hair follicles that don’t fall off with the scabs, they will grow for 3-6 weeks and generally get shed.
