What Precautions Should Be Taken Before Hair Transplantation?

In the first stage, you must stop using alcohol and smoking a week in advance if you use them. Although the appropriate period for this situation is stated as one week, even if you have not completely stopped using cigarettes and alcohol with a full week remaining, you must ensure that you absolutely do not use them for the last three days at the very least. In addition to smoking and alcohol use, you must also stop using aspirin-based drugs, especially those that will reduce blood fluidity and directly affect the blood, about a week in advance after consulting your doctor.

Discontinuation of Medication Use

If you have a condition that requires continuous medication, you should decide on this with both your doctor and the healthcare institution where you will have hair transplantation, and make a clear decision regarding medication use and discontinuation for hair transplant in Turkey. In addition to alcohol, smoking, and medication use, you should also stop using lotions, shampoos, and medications that affect the scalp if you are using them externally for a different treatment to prevent or slow down hair loss. Furthermore, since hair washing will be monitored for three days after the treatment, taking a general shower is also recommended.
