Proper preparation is essential for ensuring a successful hair transplant procedure. At Oak Brook Hair Transplant, we provide detailed pre-procedure guidelines to help you prepare physically and mentally for your treatment. Following these guidelines will help minimize risks and enhance your overall experience and results.
Follow these general preparation steps to ensure you are ready for your hair transplant procedure:
Medical Consultation: Complete any required medical consultations and provide us with your full medical history.
Medications:Â Inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you are currently taking. Certain medications may need to be paused or adjusted.
Hair Length: Do not cut your hair before the procedure. The existing hair will help guide the transplant process.
Begin these preparations one week before your scheduled hair transplant:
Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: Refrain from consuming alcohol and smoking as they can interfere with the healing process.
Medications and Supplements: Stop taking any blood thinners or anti-inflammatory medications unless otherwise advised by your doctor.
Vitamins and Herbal Supplements: Discontinue the use of vitamins and herbal supplements as they can increase the risk of bleeding.
Three days prior to your hair transplant, follow these additional guidelines:
Scalp Massage: Begin gently massaging your scalp for a few minutes each day to improve blood circulation.
Avoid Caffeine: Reduce your intake of caffeinated beverages to minimize potential swelling and bleeding.
The day before your hair transplant, take these final steps to prepare:
Wash Your Hair: Wash your hair thoroughly with a mild shampoo. Do not apply any styling products or conditioners.
Get Plenty of Rest: Ensure you get a goodnight’s sleep to be well-rested for the procedure.
Prepare Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing that can be easily removed without pulling over your head.
On the day of your hair transplant, keep these guidelines in mind:
Have a Light Breakfast: Eat a light meal before arriving at the clinic. Avoid caffeinated beverages.
Arrive Early: Plan to arrive at the clinic early to complete any necessary paper work and settle in comfortably.
Bring a Companion: If possible, bring a friend or family member to drive you home after the procedure.
Proper post-procedure care is crucial for optimal results. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions to follow after your hair transplant. This includes guidelines on washing your hair, avoiding certain activities, and managing any discomfort.
Avoid alcohol, smoking, blood thinners, and certain supplements to minimize risks during and after the procedure.
It is recommended to have someone drive you home as you may feel drowsy from any medications used during the procedure.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that can be easily removed without pulling over your head.
