(Newswire.net — August 5, 2020) — If you plan on getting a hair transplant in Turkey, then you should think about what you need to do to prepare and increase your chances of a good result.
It is a good idea to plan a couple of months ahead of time and ensure you take steps to be as healthy as possible. You need to remember that people in poor health do not qualify for hair transplants and even though it is a minor medical procedure compared to major surgery, you still face risks.
Risks can be minimized by making sure you are in peak physical condition. Furthermore, the tips we will give you will help in the recovery process and increase the chances of success in the long term as well.
What not to do –
There are some unhealthy lifestyle choices that many people make. One of these is drinking alcohol to excess or abusing drugs. Alcohol can actually increase the rate at which you lose hair, which is the very last thing you need while preparing for a hair transplant. This is because alcohol interferes with hormones in the body, which in turn affects the hair growth cycle.
Besides alcohol, cigarette smoking is to be avoided at all costs. The nicotine in cigarettes limits the blood supply to cells because it actually causes vasoconstriction. This is a narrowing of the blood vessels of the body, and your new hair follicles will need a good blood supply if you are to have a successful outcome from your hair transplant.
What you should do –
Keep yourself healthy
It is important to ensure you are in top physical condition, which means that you need to reduce stress in your life, eat healthy, and exercise.
Stress causes excess cortisol to be released over time, which is harmful for many organ systems in the body. In fact, scientists have found that too much cortisol decreases hair growth because it also negatively affects hormones in the body that impact your hair.
The significance of eating a healthy diet should not be underestimated; after all, you will need to have the nutrients to stay healthy and to help your new hair to grow. Eating enough protein in the form of fish or lean meats is a good idea and also adding in eggs. These foods provide protein and the eggs also give you biotin which helps stimulate hair growth.
Make sure your diet includes a source of iron, vitamins A, D and C and additional minerals. If you do not eat a balanced diet you may need to take supplements, but always check with your doctor before doing so.
Ensure the logistics of the trip are prepared
For your Turkey hair transplant trip, you need your passport, probably a visa, and a plan for accommodation and travel within the country. A reputable clinic often can help with the logistics of your trip, but this is something you need to confirm. Make sure that you have the correct paperwork so that there is no issue when you arrive in Turkey.
By quitting your bad habits, making healthy lifestyle choices and ensuring everything is planned for your trip, you can rest and be ready for your hair transplant.
