Sun Burn 10 Days After Hair Transplant

July 6 2006, 11:31 am PT | Posted in: Post-Operative

I had sun burn for one day about 10 days post op. I am currently 5.5 months and have weak growth. Could I have damaged the grafts. Don’t think I dislodged them.

Do you think I damaged the collegen? would this cause them grafts not to grow, grow slow, grow thin or what? thanks

At 5 months, do not panic and wait out the full 8 months. The sunburn should not have impacted your grafts or significantly damaged your collagen.
