Is It True That Stress Could Hamper the Result of a Hair Transplant?

Stress can have all kinds of effects on the human body from panic attacks to weight loss and, sometimes hair loss as well. Hence it is common to worry about your hair transplant and whether its result will be affected by stress or not.

Stress can affect your hair transplant particularly if you are struggling with stress in your daily life. Most leading hair transplant surgeons agree that stress does not affect transplanted hair, whilst some initial loss of hair is a normal part of the transplant process.

Stress and hair loss

Stress very rarely affects the result of a hair transplant however it can affect your mental well-being and your physical health as well. A definite amount of stress can help you get through a busy day or complete a complex task but too much stress can damage the body’s ability to heal itself. Also, if you are undergoing a hair loss treatment, then you should try to avoid stressful situations if possible, in the two weeks prior to your procedure.

Stress can lead to physical symptoms such as upset stomach, headaches, increased blood pressure, chest pain etc.

Stress also becomes harmful when people use tobacco, alcohol or drugs to try to alleviate their stress. However, instead of relieving the stress, these things tend to keep the body in a stressed state and cause more problems.

It's also important to note that not all hair loss is stress related, but the two may happen at a similar period of time. Some people that start to suffer from hair loss are at an age with many other stresses, like work, family or finances. They are technically different conditions, only because they happen at the same age they may seem related.
