Can I go to the gym after a hair transplant?

Day by day

1. Days 0–6Not yet

   Not yet. Exercise raises blood pressure and makes you sweat, which can cause bleeding and swelling and irritate the grafts. Gentle walking is good.

2. Days 7–13Careful

   Walking and very light activity only. No weights, straining, or exercises that put your head below your heart. Your clinic's own advice comes first.

3. Days 14–27Careful

   Light to moderate training is often OK now. Build up slowly, avoid heavy lifts and rinse sweat off gently afterwards. Your clinic's own advice comes first.

4. From day 28Yes

   Most people are back to normal training around a month after surgery. If anything hurts or bleeds, stop and check with your clinic.
