Pre-Hair Transplant Period
It is the preparation and analysis process before hair transplantation.
Estecapelli Hair Transplant Pre-Procedure Preparation Guide
1. Your Health Condition And Medications Used
Share your existing health conditions with us
- Conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, hormonal disorders, or other chronic illnesses are critical for proper operation planning.
- List all medications you regularly use
- Blood thinners, antidepressants, hormonal medications, or vitamin supplements may affect the procedure and its outcome.
- Do not discontinue any medication without doctor approval
- Blood thinners (e.g., Aspirin) must only be stopped prior to the procedure under medical supervision.
2. Alcohol, Smoking And Harmful Substance Use
Stop drinking alcohol at least 24 hours before the procedure
Alcohol affects blood flow and can increase the risk of bleeding during the operation.
Quit smoking at least 1 day before the procedure
Smoking significantly reduces blood flow to the scalp and lowers graft survival rates.
At Estecapelli, we also recommend avoiding smoking for at least 1 week after the operation.
Avoid all recreational drugs
For the safety of the procedure, the use of any illicit substances must be strictly avoided.
3. Pre-Operative Tests And Examination
- Blood tests and health evaluation are performed
With a personalized analysis, infection risk, anemia, blood sugar levels, and coagulation factors are checked.
- Graft count and hair analysis are conducted
Using the Estecapelli AI-supported Tricholab hair analysis device, hair density, donor area capacity, and hair transplant design are determined.
- The operation plan is prepared individually
At Estecapelli, the hairline design is planned according to facial proportions and aesthetic expectations.
4. Nutrition And Sleep Routine
Make sure to have a light breakfast on the day of the operation
Coming in on an empty stomach can disrupt blood pressure balance; avoid heavy or greasy foods.
Get a good night's sleep the night before
Quality sleep strengthens the immune system and supports a faster, smoother recovery process.
5. Operation Day Preparation
- Choose comfortable clothing that can be opened from the front
Wear a shirt or a top with a wide neckline.
➡ This is very important to prevent damage to the grafts when removing clothing after the hair transplant.
- Do not wear jewelry, chains, or accessories
Unnecessary items should be avoided for hygiene and safety reasons.
- Do not apply products to the scalp
On the day of the operation, your hair should be free of:
Gel
Wax
Spray
Shampoo residue
and similar products.
- Reduce caffeine consumption
Excessive coffee consumption may increase blood pressure.
6. Things To Avoid Before The Operation
- Aspirin and blood thinners (without doctor approval)
- Energy drinks
- Certain herbal teas (green tea, ginseng, ginkgo, etc.)
These substances may have blood-thinning effects that can increase bleeding during the procedure and affect the overall outcome.
7. Estecapelli Special Recommendations – For The Best Results
- Increase water consumption before the operation
Skin and scalp hydration levels affect the healing process.
- Supportive supplements may be recommended for patients with vitamin deficiencies
Deficiencies in vitamins B6, B12, D, and zinc may affect hair loss.
- Try to manage your stress level
Preoperative stress hormones may negatively affect the body’s balance.
