Preparing your scalp before a transplant: the importance of DS & PSO care
A hair transplant will not work on a scalp in an inflammatory crisis.
This is why it is essential to treat certain pathologies such as seborrheic dermatitis (SD) and scalp psoriasis (PSO) in advance.
As a Doctor of Pharmacy and certified Trichologist, I have developed specific protocols to cleanse and soothe the scalp before any transplant.
Why treat DS and PSO before a transplant?
-
Seborrheic dermatitis causes oily scales, itching, and chronic inflammation.
-
Scalp psoriasis causes thick, inflamed plaques that prevent even implantation.

👉 Under these conditions, the grafts cannot anchor well, and the graft is doomed to failure.
The risks of a transplant without prior treatment
-
Poor healing
-
Persistent inflammation
-
Loss of implanted grafts
-
Compromised aesthetic result
A pre-transplant protocol helps reduce inflammation, eliminate scales and optimize the chances of success.
Our DS & PSO pre-transplant protocols
To prepare the scalp, we have designed two specific protocols:
-
DS protocol (seborrheic dermatitis): cleanses the scalp, reduces oily scales and limits inflammatory flare-ups.

-
PSO Protocol (scalp psoriasis): soothes plaques, promotes skin regeneration and rebalances the microbiome.

These treatments are already used in hair clinics to prepare patients before a transplant.
In short
-
DS and PSO must be treated before any transplant.
-
A healthy scalp is the foundation for the grafts to anchor properly.
-
