Folliculitis is an inflammation of the hair follicles that usually appears in red or discolored pimples that look like acne. It frequently appears several weeks or months following surgery. We refer to the condition as bacterial folliculitis when we identify a bacteria as the underlying cause. However, the vast majority of cases do not identify any specific bacteria. We refer to this ailment as sterile folliculitis.

A hair transplant is a hair restoration operation in which a surgeon extracts follicles from one part of your scalp and implants them in balding areas. Hair transplants are most successful for addressing genetic hair loss, also known as male or female pattern baldness. While most people consider hair transplants to be relatively safe operations, all treatments carry some risk. Infections are one type of problem that can arise. However, they are relatively uncommon, affecting less than 1% of patients who had hair transplant Dubai, according to trustworthy sources.

When bacteria invade open wounds near donor hair follicles or at the reception site, infections can develop. Your scalp’s rich network of blood vessels enables your immune system to quickly target invaders. Signs of a hair transplant infection include a pus-filled abscess, seeping pus, redness or discoloration, swelling, pain, itching, burning, bleeding, and warmth. It is common to have some bleeding and swelling. However, if your symptoms worsen rather than improve, or if they continue for more than a week, you could have an infection. Infections can cause systemic symptoms such as fever, tiredness, swollen lymph nodes, headaches, nausea, and vomiting.

What are the potential causes of hair transplant infections?


Infections can develop when bacteria or pathogens invade your body during surgery or while you are healing. A medical issue that impairs your immune system increases your chances of becoming infected.

Infection Risks Following a Hair Transplant


If you catch an infection, you’re more likely to develop scarring, which might skew your results and create patchy regrowth around scars. If not treated, an infection might progress to deeper tissues. Septicemia is a blood infection. It can cause sepsis. The immune system’s release of inflammatory chemicals throughout the body can cause sepsis, a potentially fatal condition that can lead to organ failure.

Infection risks vary according to the procedure


Infections can arise at both the donor site, where hair follicles are harvested, and the receiving site, where the follicles are transplanted. Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is the most widely utilized hair transplanting procedure. During FUE, we harvest individual hair follicles for transplantation. Alborj Hair Clinic also gives information about the FUE procedure.
