If you are unsure about any instruction, please contact our medical team before your procedure.
Please begin the following steps 14 days before your hair transplant:
Discontinue any medications or supplements that may increase bleeding, including:
Aspirin
Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Aleve, etc.)
Vitamin E
Herbal supplements that increase blood flow, such as:
Garlic
Gingko Biloba
Echinacea
⚠️ These substances can cause excessive bleeding during the procedure and negatively affect graft survival.
✅ Allowed: Tylenol (Paracetamol)
Many over-the-counter cold, flu, pain, and allergy medications contain aspirin or ibuprofen.
Always check with a pharmacist before use.
Begin Vitamin C supplementation only if advised by your doctor
Stop using topical hair products that stimulate blood circulation on the scalp
Fever
Cough
Shortness of breath
Body aches or flu-like symptoms
