Smoking, baldness and graying

smoking can reduce the blood supply to the scalp skin and thereby destroy the follicle or stem cells of the follicles by reducing the blood and hormone reaching to these follicles. This may lead to more and early hair loss and graying as well. Smoking not only speeds up hair loss but can also makes hair loss prevention medications ineffective. More over in the early post operative period after Hair Transplant surgery healing and hair growth of the transplanted hairs can be affected and smoking should be avoided for 10 months. There are 4000 poisonous chemicals in cigarette e.g. tar, nicotine, carbon Monoxide. Carbon monoxide reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of blood and Nicotine reduces the blood supply to skin by constricting the blood vessels.

Can I use the wig for some time after transplant? I will quit once the hair grows.

You may use hair piece after 15 days of transplant with some care when the wound have healed and then remove it once the transplanted hair grows. You must know that transplant will never give you as much density as the hair piece or wig can give and there for it is better that you get the hair piece trimmed to lighter density serially before you finally quit it . But still better method s shave the head completely during the transplant and maintained like that for 4-6 months and after that and let the transplants grow with other hair thereafter.
