Alcohol

No alcohol 48 hours before the hair transplant since alcohol is blood thinning and you can end up bleeding more during the transplant.

Tobacco

Tobacco is bad for the body’s healing process and it significantly affects the result of the hair transplant. Therefore, it is important that you start lowering the amount of smoking and using snus a week before and do not smoke or use snus 48 hours before your surgery.

Coffee

Caffeine acts as a blood thinner in the same way that tobacco does. Therefore, coffee should not be consumed up to 48 hours before surgery.

Blood-thinning medication

Do not take blood-thinning medication, such as Ibuprofen, Omega 3 or products containing acetylsalicylic acid before the hair transplant. It will cause you to bleed much more than usual.

Shave

Do not shave before you come to us. We would love to see how your hair grows naturally, if you have any swirls and so on, in that way we can create as much of a natural result as possible for you and your hair.
