One week before your procedure, stop taking:
If you’re using Finasteride (Propecia), you can continue taking it. However, avoid using Minoxidil (Rogaine) starting one week before the procedure and resume it two weeks after.
Always consult your doctor before stopping or starting any medication.
Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia and increase the risk of bleeding. Stop consuming alcohol at least 5–7 days before your procedure and avoid it for 10–14 days afterward.
Nicotine restricts blood flow to the scalp and slows the healing process. For the best results, stop smoking at least one week before and two weeks after your procedure.
Skip the use of hair oils, gels, or creams on the days leading up to your surgery. Also, avoid wearing hats to prevent any microbial buildup on your scalp.
