Will hair follicles be rubbed off ten days after hair transplantation?

Introduction
Under normal circumstances, hair follicles usually cannot be easily rubbed off ten days after hair transplantation; however, vigorous rubbing should still be avoided. Around ten days post-transplantation, the transplanted hair follicles are in the early survival stage and have started to establish blood circulation with the surrounding tissue, but their foundation is not yet stable. At this stage, gentle touching or normal cleansing generally will not cause the follicles to fall out.

Generally, ten days after hair transplantation, the hair follicles usually cannot be easily rubbed off, but vigorous rubbing should still be avoided. The detailed explanation is as follows:

About ten days after hair transplantation, the transplanted hair follicles are in the early survival stage and have started establishing blood circulation with surrounding tissues, but their foundations are not yet stable. At this stage, gentle touching or normal cleansing typically won't cause follicle loss; however, forceful rubbing or scratching the transplanted area may damage the connection between the follicles and surrounding tissues due to mechanical irritation, increasing the risk of shedding.

Between one to three months after hair transplantation, a "shock loss" phase usually occurs. This is a normal process as the follicles adapt to their new environment and is not caused by rubbing. There is no need for excessive anxiety during this phase. Hair care during this period should include gently massaging with fingertips when cleansing, avoiding scratching with fingernails; using mild shampoo; and avoiding strenuous exercise or high-temperature environments to minimize follicle irritation.

If hair transplantation is required, it is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician. Following postoperative medical advice carefully can help ensure follicle survival.

What medication can promote hair growth?
In general, medications such as finasteride tablets, spironolactone tablets, cystine tablets, Yangxue Shengfa Capsules, and compound vitamin B tablets may be used for hair regrowth under medical guidance. Finasteride tablets work by inhibiting the activity of 5α-reductase, reducing the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, thereby decreasing damage to hair follicles caused by dihydrotestosterone and promoting hair growth. Long-term use is required, and the medication is contraindicated for women and children.

Is the Qingzhen acne removal treatment effective?
"Qing Zhen Qu Dou" refers to needle-based acne extraction. Under standardized procedures, needle extraction demonstrates clear efficacy for specific types of acne. Using specialized instruments, needle extraction removes keratin plugs, sebum plugs, and purulent secretions within the hair follicles, rapidly relieving the blocked condition of whiteheads, blackheads, and superficial pustules. This process reduces bacterial proliferation inside the follicles, thereby shortening the inflammatory cycle and lowering the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and scarring.

Can underarm hair removal cause body odor?
Underarm hair removal only affects the hair and hair follicles, and does not damage or alter the structure or secretory function of the apocrine sweat glands in the underarm area. The development of body odor (bromhidrosis) is related to the bacterial breakdown of the unique sweat secreted by the apocrine sweat glands. As long as the apocrine sweat glands are functioning normally, the process of sweat secretion and bacterial decomposition will not be affected by hair removal alone, and therefore will not cause body odor.
