Can I do a collagen powder supplement after ARTAS?

Thank you for posting this question. With few exceptions, nutritional supplements can be resumed the day following an ARTAS procedure. I hope this information is helpful to you.Ken Anderson, MD, FISHRS, ABHRSBoard Certified Hair Restoration Surgeon

Most protocols for hair restoration surgery recommend stopping many supplements for varied amounts of time prior to surgery and then resuming at a specified time afterward. You should refer to the documentation given by your hair restoration provider. All that being said, it is safe to resume your collagen powder at this point. It is unlikely there is any downside to resuming the collagen. You should continue to follow the instructions given to you including use of the sprays as indicated.

Collagen powder is not typically used after surgery.  These type of treatments are added hype with no proven benefits.That being said, it is best to follow your doctor's recommendations.

Hello and thank you for your question, Yes you can take collagen powder after an ARTAS procedure. Best wishes.Dr. T

A supplement such as collagen would not likely affect your transplants or healing process. Most supplements should be OK to resume by the 7th to 10th day after your grafts are placed. It is still best to check with your surgeon for specifics.

Resuming your nutritional supplements should be fine after your ARTAS procedure. It's always good to go over your medications and supplements with your surgeon before and after your procedure to discuss the possibility of ant of them having an effect on your procedure both before and after.

Yes, you can take collagen supplements after a hair transplant if that was what you were doing before the transplant
