Remove Scabs After Hair Transplant (WHEN and HOW) 

It is very odd how clinics have different guidelines for the exact same thing. My clinic told me that I should start gently washing my transplanted area at day 3-7 with panthenol spray and baby oil and start rubbing gently at day 8-9 and that all scabs preferable should be rubbed off completely by day 10-11. My scabs started crumbling off at day 6-7 so I had no problem but it is just very confusing when you are having your first transplant when the information is not mutual between clinics/experts. My tip would be to let the scabs be on your head for at least 8 days without putting any effort in towards trying to get it off since your whole scalp will be covered by a big layer of scab for healing, the scab will start to split and shed a little when it is ready to come off and you can pour water on to your head to make the scab dry up in between your daily wash. I had 4000 grafts done so I had a lot of scab and it was a little painful by the day 5-6 as it started to split but pouring a little water on top of my head made it more manageable as the tight scab loosened up a little. The scab might also create the illusion of your graphs being divided but it is normal because it stretches the skin as i hardens in weird ways, also, you will lose some hair when the scab falls off since they are stuck together but not the follicle itself which will grow new hair when it is time. Do not scratch your head with nails or try to pull scab straight off your head since it might cause some damage if you are unlucky. When it is time; Soak your scabs and gently rub in a circular motion with your fingertips after at least 8 days and it should be fine, you do not need to get rid of it all at once, do a little rubbing on your head every day and the scab will slowly come off, you can rub harder at day 10-11 to get all scab off when your head has healed a little more, still, do not pull on scab that seems to be stuck since it can cause damage if unlucky, just soak and rub and you can do this multiple times a day if needed at this point.

Thank you for answering the question on wether you have to remove all the scabs in one go or over a few days!! My clinic wasn't clear on that

As far as I know it takes 72 hours for the grafts to settle in after that time it will take a tool to remove it from your head, hence some clinics allow you to start working on your scabs on day 6-14.

My clinic instructions is to have them all removed by week two and we are starting at Day 6

Mine said 11 days

Excellent and clear instructions. Thank you so much.

My clinic said 13-15 days I need to remove them

Please anyone, reply ASAP , Today's day 9 and my scabs are dry af , and it seems like they are developing mild, narrow cracks or lines something, so does that mean , Scab Removal is ready ?

Question: after removing your scabs did your baby hairs look different at different areas? Different lengths and some even without any? Let me know please :) have a nice day

Some clinics said can remove the scabs on Day 10. Is that ok?

Why do you have to remove scabs by week 3?

I enjoyed his attitude 😂 @ 2:30

Took a month before they were all gone!

I have some hair in my crust when they are falling is this natural?

my scabs are falling out and i brushed some off is that ok?

Is it advisable to apply betadine solution daily to the donor region using a sterile gauze to remove the scabs ? It is painful but my doctor recommended to do daily it for 7 days after the transplant. Because of the increasing pain, I am wondering if it's needed at all (today is day 4)

Is it normal when doing the washing of the scabs that bits of hair fall out with the scabs after a few days of the transplant.

My implemented hair are temp growth so. My transplant success or not
