Regular Member maxgraft Posted March 23, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted March 23, 2020 I received a transplant about 3.5 months ago on the crown of my head. While doing some work outside for a few hours, my crown looks to ha w gotten sun burnt. Should I be worried? Will this impact hair growth in the area? My initial thought is it shouldn’t matter but would like to hear others opinions. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 23, 2020 Administrators Share Posted March 23, 2020 I wouldn't worry at 3.5 months. From this point forward wear SPF or a hat. If you keep getting sunburned it may impact the growth. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Senior Member pkipling Posted March 24, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 24, 2020 It's not ideal, but I don't think it's the end of the world for your grafts. We tell patients to avoid the sun for the first 6 months, but the guidelines for how long to avoid sun exposure varies greatly from clinic to clinic, suggesting that there's some wiggle room there in terms of the hard scientific data. Moving forward, be more cautious, but I wouldn't panic at all. I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA.
