Guidelines for Hair Transplant Candidates from the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS)
The ISHRS has issued recommendations for individuals interested in hair transplantation or other hair restoration procedures. These guidelines focus on protecting patients from COVID-19 infection and informing them of possible modifications to clinic procedures during this period. In cases where government directives specifically addressing hair transplantation have been issued, those take precedence over these recommendations.
- Know Your Health Status
Candidates should be aware of their health condition, recognize possible signs of infection, understand how to act if they suspect they are infected, and know how to protect those around them.
- Follow Personal Protection Measures
Strictly adhere to all government-issued instructions: stay home, avoid social gatherings, frequently sanitize hands, and wear masks or appropriate face coverings in all areas mandated by public health authorities.

Choose a “COVID-Protected Facility” Hair Transplant Clinic
Select a clinic that has implemented comprehensive safety measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Such clinics will:
- Request detailed medical histories from patients and their close contacts regarding COVID-19. Providing accurate information is critical.
- Enforce social distancing protocols between patients, whether for consultations or procedures, by rearranging spaces and seating accordingly.
- Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) or other relevant health authorities.
- Maintain strict health monitoring practices for staff and patients, including daily temperature checks and medical history screenings, as part of virus transmission prevention strategies. Where possible, staff undergo regular testing and monitoring according to government guidelines.
- Implement thorough cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization procedures across all clinic areas (offices, operating rooms, waiting areas). They also employ proper waste collection and disposal methods for potentially contaminated materials.
- Educate patients on proper handwashing and sanitization protocols within the clinic, as well as correct mask and glove usage and disposal.
- Ensure that all staff receive additional training on COVID-19 infection control and management.
- Most importantly, guarantee that the surgeon you select will personally perform your procedure rather than delegating it to unlicensed personnel or staff.
These recommendations are designed to ensure your safety and peace of mind when considering or undergoing hair restoration during the ongoing pandemic.
