Sleeping in a bed

Misting your grafts

Summary

What to expect

What you need to do

Carefully take off the bonnet cap (not the dressing) if we placed one during your procedure.
Eat food so the medications will not upset your empty stomach
Fill your spray bottle with water, set the stream to a light mist. Mist your grafts every few hours while you are awake. Keep the grafts hydrated enough to prevent them from drying out, but stop before they become wet or damp.
Take the antibiotic
Take the steroid if it was prescribed
Take the prescribed pain reliever when you begin to feel discomfort or before you go to bed. It’s best to take the prescription pain reliever as soon as you feel discomfort so you can stay ahead of any pain. If you do not feel discomfort, still take the pain medication before you go to bed. This will help you get a better night’s rest.
When you sleep, use the travel pillow and lay in a reclined position. Use the under pads so your bed/chair/travel pillow just in case there is some drainage from your dressing.
If you had grafts in the front, use an ice pack on your eyes and lower forehead, but away from any grafts. Repeat for 15 minutes every few hours to help reduce swelling.

If your dressing becomes loose and starts to move towards your new grafts, remove it. Please see the instructions for removing your dressing in the video library.

What not to do

Do not exert yourself
Do not remove your dressing
Do not touch your grafts
Don’t use NSAIDs for 2 days (Aspirin, Bayer, Bufferin, Naproxen, Aleve, Ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, etc)
Don’t use alcohol or drugs

I have been experiencing hair thinning since getting tape in extensions, no longer have those! I met with Dr. Vinay Rawlani to discuss my options and he created a whole plan for me! During the process, he has made me feel comfortable and heard. Sometimes talking about hair loss is an awkward topic making me feel insecure. I’ve been taking Nutrafol, and Minoxidil in combo with doing PRP every 4ish weeks! I can confidently and proudly say my hair is already thicker and healthier! Hair growth is an awkward and long, slow-seeming process BUT Vinay takes away the stress and worry! Also, need to mention his touch is very light so I could barely feel the numbing pre-PRP injections, almost painless! Cannot wait to share my results! Thank you, Dr. Vinay!

Almost 18 months out from my procedure and to say the least I’m very happy with the results. The entire team at Northwestern Hair including vinay kendall and carmen are the best. Everything was smooth. no hiccups. My entire procedure was hidden in 3 days. Highly recommend. I saw 3 consultants – this is the best team around.

Men’s Hair Restoration Patient

It’s been 1.5 years since my husband did a hair transplant. I couldn’t be happier with the amazing results. His hair texture is stronger and of the same length as the rest of the hair and continues to improve. Dr. Vinay and his staff did a great job making the entire restoration process seamless. Their customer service is excellent and really makes you feel like they care. I would definitely recommend this place for all your hair restoration needs.

Exceptional results! I received my hair transplant about 6 months ago and the results are just amazing. Dr.Vinay and the staff were very knowledgeable and professional. I did extensive research and consults before getting the procedure done, Northwestern Hair is by far the best in every aspect!

JAIME R.

When we look better, we feel better. We have a better attitude. We’re able to kind of look at life a little bit differently. I think this treatment plan is a great tool for people of all shapes and sizes.

KENDALL G.

Dr. Vinay transformed my thin, balding hair into a thick head of dream hair. It was my biggest insecurity, and now I am beyond confident with my new look. I will forever thank the team at Northwestern Hair!

I reached my goal weight in only 3 months. I feel healthier and more confident than ever. I cannot recommend Northwestern Weight Loss and Dr. Vinay enough for making me believe I could do it.

ALEX G.

Weight Loss Program Patient

I did the microfue procedure and am really happy with how it went. The procedure itself was surprisingly painless and relaxed and recovery wasn’t as bad as I expected. I had a not so great experience with another place and wish I discovered NW sooner.

BRIAN J.

Weight Loss Program Patient

I am a stylist and have worked with Dr. Vinay Rawlani. After seeing clients before and after the procedures, it’s truly an amazing transformation that I would recommend to all my clients. I am always impressed by his attention to detail and dedication to care with follow ups after. I would recommend his services and look forward to seeing the amazing transformations to come!
