Pre Treatment Advice

- Alcohol consumption 24 hours before treatment, after and on the day of the treatment
- Taking Aspirin unless medically prescribed. Increased bleeding risk must be accepted by the patient
- Avoid the use of vitamin E and products containing gingko extracts or garlic tablets 7-10 days prior to the appointment.
- Allow 2 weeks since any other scalp treatments
Post Treatment Expectations & Possible Side Effects
