Diabetes



Diabetes is a serious disease which is caused by the pancreas not properly using sugar - resulting in a number of issues, including slow healing of wounds. Therefore, patients with diabetes may experience slowed healing of their hair transplants. This is one of the pre-exising conditions you should be sure to tell your doctor about if you are planning hair transplant surgery.
