What you have to pay attention to before you start your journey

Before departure, please make sure to pack your suitcase accordingly. Bring outer clothing that is easy to put on (shirt, top with zipper).
It is essential not to take any blood-thinning medication such as "Aspirin" before the operation. If you have to take one for health reasons, please inform your surgeon before leaving and before the procedure!

If you are taking other medications, please let us know before leaving and telling your surgeon again before the operation. On the day of the treatment, the hair must be at least 4-5 mm long to be able to determine the direction of growth of your hair optimally. For this reason, please do not cut your hair just before the operation. After the consultation, your hair will be shorn by our experts.

The surgeon can recommend applying the products containing the active ingredients finasteride and minoxidil to you on-site based on your hair structure. However, a purchase is not mandatory; it is only a recommendation.
Note: A doctor in Germany must prescribe the substance finasteride!

Smoking and drinking behavior before and after hair transplantation

Regardless of whether it is cigarettes, e-cigarettes, shisha, or alcoholic beverages - 14 days before and 7 days after the hair transplant, you should NEVER smoke OR drink alcohol. Please follow these instructions so that the hair transplant result is not affected. After the transplantation, the good blood supply is essential. If the patient smokes after the procedure, the tissue's oxygen tension will decrease, and wound healing will be impaired. As a result, the recovery of the inflammatory processes wound contraction, fibroblast proliferation, collagen synthesis, and the lowering of vitamin C levels are disturbed. This increases the risk of infection because the wounds are not adequately supplied with healing enzymes.
