How transplanted follicles restore blood supply
When a follicle is extracted, its blood supply is severed. It must survive on stored nutrients until revascularisation occurs in the recipient zone. This process happens in two stages: plasmatic imbibition (Days 1–3) — passive nutrient absorption from surrounding tissue fluid; and angiogenesis (Days 4–14) — new capillaries grow into the implanted graft. By Day 10–14, the graft has a functional new blood supply.
Why the first 10 days are clinically critical
Mechanical displacement: A dislodged graft before capillary integration is permanently lost. It cannot be reinserted.
Dehydration: The follicle requires a moist environment for plasmatic imbibition. The isotonic misting spray in the Hairmedico aftercare kit maintains this environment.
Vasoconstriction from nicotine: Smoking reduces blood vessel diameter, slowing capillary ingrowth and measurably reducing graft survival. Stop 2 weeks before, no smoking for 4 weeks after surgery.
How Hairmedico optimises microvascular healing
The Hairmedico post-operative protocol addresses each factor: isotonic misting, elevated sleeping, anti-inflammatory medication, LOREW Paris healing protocol, and the sapphire blade sizing that produces precise channels matching graft diameter — maximising graft stability during the critical revascularisation window.
