Can I go running after a hair transplant?

The short answer

Usually from day 28, if your clinic agrees.

Day by day

  1. Days 0–6Not yet

    Not yet. Walking is good; running raises blood pressure and sweat in the first week.

  2. Days 7–13Careful

    Brisk walking is fine. Save running for the third week unless your clinic says otherwise.

  3. Days 14–27Careful

    Easy runs are usually OK. No tight headbands or caps on the grafts, and rinse sweat off gently.

  4. From day 28Yes

    Running is usually fine now. Wear a hat in strong sun.

Not yet reviewed by a doctor — verify with your clinic.
