Those who suffer from hair loss Hair transplant you can maximize the results of your procedure by performing scalp laxity exercises in the month before surgery. Scalp laxity exercises increase the elasticity of your scalp. An increase in scalp laxity allows more grafts to be transplanted because the scalp area has been stretched providing more space to accommodate hair transplants. Increased scalp laxity also results in better closure of the donor area.
Scalp laxity exercises
When: in the month or even months before surgery.
Duration: 5 minutes twice a day.
Exercise 1: Stretching the back of the scalp
Bring your hands together and place them on the back of your skull, palms facing down. Find the area of your skull that has the ridge along the back. Place the palms of your hands slightly above this ridge.
Pull your hands up to your forehead and lower yourself back down at an even rate (about one cycle of up and down motion per second). Repeat the up and down motion without allowing your hands to slide. The palms should only move the scalp tissue rather than glide across the top of the head.
Exercise 2: Lateral scalp lift
Although the lateral scalp is not as important as the scalp on the back of the head, good surgeons will define a donor area that extends slightly to the sides.
To stretch the lateral scalp, place the palms on the sides of the head with the bottom of the palm (where it meets the wrist) just above the ears. Move your palms up and down as much as possible without allowing them to glide over your scalp. Again, the palms should be mounted on the moving scalp tissue rather than sliding over the head.
