Regular Member mikematters Posted October 17, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted October 17, 2009 I went in the sun for about 1 month every day on holiday 3 weeks post op. I wore a hat sometimes, but most of the time i was in the sun most day, I used 70+sunblock for UVA and UVB, and didnt have any red or burning during the whole time... Im now 3 month post op, but not seeing many new hairs growin. Now I am worried I have damaged thru the the too early sun exposure.....does the sunlight really affect the grafts this much. All i can read on here is that it does slow down growth but not damage or kill the follicle.... Any thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Stimpson Posted October 17, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted October 17, 2009 Most people do not see growth 3 months post op anyway. It's too early to be jumping to conclusions about the sun exposure. Regards, Stimpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Forrest Gump Posted October 17, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted October 17, 2009 If you don't see any growth at all after 4 months or so, talk to your doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MikeTheDane Posted October 18, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted October 18, 2009 i would say 5-6 months... 4 months without any growth can just mean slow growing.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 11/04-07 - 800-1600 ish grafts - danish clinic - poor results 12/02-08 - 2764 grafts - Dr. Devroye - good result but needs hairline density 03/12-10 - 1429 grafts - Dr. Mohmand - result pending Feel free to visit my picture thread My Hair Transplant Photos - Surgery with Dr. Devroye Young lads below 25 unite!
