Will taking cannabis in the form of edibles just after a hair transplant effect the growth/results?

Question

I have heard that you should not smoke cannabis for at least one month after a hair transplant but I was wondering is it okay to digest it via edibles, will this have any negative repercussions on my hair transplant?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.

Ben Talei, MD · Answer

While smoking in general is not advisable for your general healthy as it causes blood vessels to constrict and can reduce blood supply to the follicular unit grafts, THC does not damage the grafts.Therefore edibles will have no impact on the results of your hair transplant.I hope this answers your question.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

The use of THC after a hair transplant will not impact the growth of the hair transplant at all.
