(Your Clinic’s Post-Operative Instructions in the Capila App)

A complete guide for clinics on how to manage, customize, and import post-operative protocols.

Recovery instructions in Capila are the actions or restrictions your patients should follow after their hair transplant. These instructions appear directly in the Capila mobile app and help guide patients throughout the healing process — clearly, consistently, and day-by-day.

This page explains how the protocol works, how to edit it, how the timing logic appears to patients, and how to use our PDF → Protocol AI tool.

🧭 What Recovery Instructions Are

Recovery instructions are individual items that tell patients what to do or what to avoid, and for how long.

Examples include: “Sleep Elevated,” “Avoid Smoking,” “Wash Gently,” “Take Antibiotics,” etc.

Each instruction contains:

• A title
• Whether it’s something to do or to avoid
• A start time (relative to the operation date)
• A duration (how long it applies)
• “Why this matters” — a simple explanation written for patients
• Optional tips or step-by-step guidance
• Visibility toggle (show/hide)

These items combine to form the patient’s recovery checklist in the mobile app.
