We strongly recommend that you avoid smoking or using other tobacco products such as cigarettes, cigars, e-cigarettes (electronic cigarettes), shisha and water pipes or similar. The direct consumption of tobacco products after the operation means that your body is not supplied with sufficient oxygen and therefore slows down the healing process. This also means that you will not get the best results from your hair transplant. Keep in mind that nicotine in any form causes excessive bleeding and the toxins in tobacco products affect the growth of hair follicles. If you cannot give up smoking just before the procedure, make sure that you reduce your consumption to a minimum.
