From day 15, back to normal life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why wait 15 days<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the first two weeks the recipient area is healing. Exercise causes sweat, heat and strain, which increases the risk of infection. Waiting protects your grafts and your result.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From day 15<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can go back to your routine as normal. There are no restrictions on swimming. However, two precautions remain:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Contact sports:<\/strong> avoid them for 1 month after the transplant.<\/li><li><strong>Sun:<\/strong> avoid direct sun for 3 months. If you will be in the sun for more than 10 or 15 minutes, always wear a cap.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to call the clinic<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact us if you notice increasing redness, pain, discharge or fever.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I exercise a week after the transplant?<\/strong><br>No. Wait 15 days.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why so much caution?<\/strong><br>To avoid an infection.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I swim?<\/strong><br>Yes, from day 15 there are no restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How long should I protect myself from the sun?<\/strong><br>3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More information about <a href=\"https:\/\/lisettepappaterra.com\/en\/servicios\/hair-transplant\/\">hair transplant in Santiago<\/a>.
