Step 01
First wash
Done at the clinic on the day after the transplant; the washing technique is demonstrated to you in person.
Aftercare and follow-up
Post-Transplant Care
Written instructions, an aftercare kit and online follow-up consultations, from the first wash to the 12-month check-up.
The days after a transplant are a delicate period in which the implanted grafts settle in. This is why aftercare matters as much as the procedure itself. At Linvara, the first wash is done at the clinic and you receive an aftercare kit with written instructions in your language; once you are back home, your patient coordinator schedules your follow-up consultations.
