Hair Restoration
🌺Before & Aftercare Instructions
Therapeutic Stem Cell Hair Restoration uses concentrated regenerative cells to stimulate dormant follicles, improve scalp health, and support stronger, fuller hair growth over time. The treatment enhances circulation, reduces inflammation, and helps reactivate thinning areas without surgery or downtime. Most patients begin noticing improvement within a few months, with continued gains after repeat sessions.
🩺 Universal Pre‑Treatment Guidelines
💊 Avoid Blood Thinners (5–7 Days Prior) Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Advil, Aleve, Motrin, and other NSAIDs increase bruising risk. If you take prescription anticoagulants (Coumadin, Dabigatran, Apixaban), please notify us.
🚭 Avoid Alcohol & Smoking (48 Hours Prior) Both increase bruising and slow healing.
🌿 Consider Arnica Montana Topical or oral Arnica can reduce bruising for patients prone to it.
🧴 Arrive With Clean Skin No makeup, sunscreen, moisturizer, or oils. We will cleanse again before treatment.
🧊 Optional: Numbing Cream Apply Lidocaine 30 minutes before your appointment. If you don’t have any, we can provide it in‑office at no charge.
Hair Restoration - Before Care
Avoid using hair products (gel, spray, wax, pomade, oils) on the day of treatment.
Wash your hair the night before the procedure; arrive with clean, dry hair.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting product on.
If you are using topical minoxidil, discontinue it 24 hours before treatment unless instructed otherwise.
Avoid scheduling hair coloring, chemical treatments, or tight braids within 48 hours before your appointment.
🌈 Universal Aftercare Guidelines
✨ Mild Redness or Swelling Is Normal This typically resolves within a few hours.
🙅 Avoid Rubbing or Massaging Treated Areas Unless specifically instructed for your procedure.
🏃 Avoid Exercise & Lying Flat (4–6 Hours) This prevents product migration and reduces swelling.
🍷 Avoid Alcohol for 24 Hours Alcohol increases fluid retention and bruising.
🌿 Continue Arnica if Needed Avoid applying directly to injection sites.
💊 Resume Blood Thinners After 24 Hours Unless otherwise directed by your physician.
Hair Restoration - Aftercare
Avoid washing your hair for 24 hours after treatment.
Avoid hair products (gel, spray, wax, mousse, oils) for 24 hours.
Avoid direct sun exposure to the scalp for 24 hours.
Avoid swimming, hot showers, steam rooms, and saunas for 24 hours.
Avoid scratching, rubbing, or picking at the scalp for 24 hours.
Mild tenderness or pinpoint bleeding is normal; you may use Tylenol for discomfort.
If signs of infection appear (increasing redness, swelling, pus), apply a topical antibiotic and contact us if symptoms persist.
You may resume topical minoxidil the next day unless instructed otherwise.
Results typically begin around 3 months, with best results after repeat treatments.
