Important Things to Know Before Hair Transplant

Congratulations on your decision to undergo a hair transplant at PHAEYDE Hair Transplant Clinic! To ensure a smooth and successful procedure, it's crucial to be well-prepared. In this guide, we'll outline the essential things you need to know and do before your hair transplant.

Preparing for Your Hair Transplant: What You Need to Do

At PHAEYDE Clinic, we are committed to providing the best care for our patients. To optimize your experience, here are the key preparations to keep in mind.

Eating Before the Procedure

Yes, we recommend that you have a meal before the procedure. This is essential to maintain stable blood sugar levels during the transplantation and to ensure proper absorption of the anesthetic.

Skip Caffeine and Diuretics

Avoid coffee, tea, energy drinks, and other caffeinated beverages on the day of your procedure. Caffeine acts as a diuretic and can raise blood pressure, which is not conducive to the surgery.

Choosing Comfortable Attire

During the procedure, you'll be in various positions. You'll start by lying on your stomach and later be on your back or sitting up. Dress comfortably, and consider wearing a top with buttons or a zipper to avoid pulling it over your head. This precaution helps preserve the integrity of the grafts.

Pre-Procedure Days

In the days leading up to your transplantation, there's no need for special preparations. Simply focus on maintaining a healthy diet, avoiding overly spicy and salty foods, and limiting coffee, energy drinks, and psychoactive substances. Refrain from alcohol for at least three days before the procedure.

Medication and Hair Care

Do not take any hair-strengthening or hair-growth-promoting vitamins or medications without prior discussion with your doctor. PHAEYDE Clinic will provide all necessary medications on the morning of the transplantation.

Hair Washing

On the night before your procedure, make sure to wash your hair thoroughly. You don't need to cut it; just arrive at the clinic with a natural hair length, but not shorter than 1-2 cm. The doctor will trim your hair to the appropriate length in the necessary areas before starting the procedure.

FAQ Before Hair Transplant

Can I Have Coffee or Tea with My Breakfast?

We advise against coffee, tea, and caffeinated beverages on the day of the procedure because they are diuretics and can raise blood pressure. It's best to stick to a balanced meal.

What Should I Do in the Days Leading Up to the Transplantation?

Maintain a healthy diet, avoiding overly spicy and salty foods. Limit coffee, energy drinks, and psychoactive substances. Abstain from alcohol for three days before the procedure. Wash your hair thoroughly the night before.

Do I Need to Cut My Hair Before the Procedure?

No, you don't need to cut your hair. Arrive with a natural hair length, but ensure it's not shorter than 1-2 cm. The doctor will trim it to the right length in the necessary areas.

Should I Smoke Before a Hair Transplant?

Smoking can have adverse effects on your blood circulation and overall health, which can hinder the success of a hair transplant. It's strongly recommended that you avoid smoking for at least one week before the procedure. Quitting or reducing smoking can significantly improve your chances of achieving optimal results.
