Preparing For Your Hair Transplant

A hair transplant can be a very effective way to solve many embarrassing problems for people where no other solution is available. Your doctor or professional should give you strict advice on what to do before you start your procedure. Following these guidelines is extremely important and could mean the success or failure of your treatment. Preparing for your treatment program is not difficult, but may require some lifestyle changes on your behalf. A look at these issues.

• Scalp Exercises. There are particular exercises that will prove beneficial for new growth of hair after your transplant. These exercises are not normal head and scalp massage. They include special methods where you cup your hands together on the top of your head to stretch and compress your scalp. These exercises should be done daily for a month before you start your treatment. Getting shown how from a hair replacement professional is essential.
• Diet. A diet rich in fibre and vegetable is essential for your normal health and your hair. Your general health is indicated by your hair. Diet will affect your general condition and how well your treatment takes hold. Establishing a good diet before, and maintaining it after the procedure, is good for more than just your hair regrowth.
• Smoking. Many professionals will not want to start the procedure on people who smoke. Smoking drastically reduces the effectiveness of your body to heal and greatly damages your immune system. If you smoke, and you want your hair back, you need to quit.
• Exercise. Yes, you will need to start exercising if you don’t already. Exercise improves your general health and will have much influence on the effectiveness of your treatment. It is important to note that you should exercise with care, and over-exercising is just as dangerous.
• Medications. Some medications may be very detrimental to the effectiveness of your procedure. This may also include many food additives or so-called health supplements. You should consult your professional or doctor on what these are, and consider discontinuing use where possible.
• Water. As always, drinking the right amount of water is important. Avoiding unhealthy fizzy drinks is more important than ever.
• Head Preparation. You will need to wash your head thoroughly, but it will be done again before your procedure. Standard hygiene and respect. Do not bother with cutting or styling your hair for the weeks leading up to the procedure. You can worry about that when it is done.
• Sleep. Sleep is the time when our body heals, and lack of sleep is one of the biggest causes of illness in our society. Sleep that you miss accumulates as a sleep-debt. It is important to be sleeping regularly, and getting into the habit long before your procedure.
• Life and Work. You should prepare a day off after your treatment. And you should definitely not be driving home. Make all the arrangements in advance.

Many people live with balding and hair loss when they do not have to. Costs are reducing, and techniques are improving greatly. Sometimes it is worth spending a little money on yourself. The difference it will make to the rest of your life is invaluable.
