Using a Slant Board to Increase Blood Circulation in Scalp
Dear Dr.Rassman
Thank you firstly for your assistance and for answering previous question. My question, I have read that using a slant board is good for increasing blood circulation to scalp, 15 mins a day etc. Seems logical,is this okay to do after FUE surgery, I am nearly 2 weeks post-op. Many thanks again.
I had a patient who had gone to Brazil and amongst his many treatments for hair loss, he hung upside down for 20 minutes four times a day. He was told that it would increase his blood flow to his balding scalp. Bats are not bald so maybe that is where the people in Brazil got the idea. He continued to bald even after 6 months of upside-down treatment. Maybe it would work better in the Northern Hemisphere.
If you like the slant board, I do not see a problem using it. Just make sure the tilt does not distort your perspective. And yes, at 2 weeks post-op you are fine to hang upside down.
