How Can Redness Be Eliminated Following a Hair Transplant?
One thing I’ve read about online is that some people are suffering from long lasting redness in the donor area after a hair transplant. What should be done to eliminate the redness within a 2 week period before someone can go to work without being noticed he had HT?
I ask this question, because i tried your test for redness and my skin looks very sensitive.
If your skin is prone to redness, then there really is no way around it (just like if you’re born with the gene for balding, you really can’t stop the balding… it will happen). Typically, most doctors give a small dose of cortico-steroid to minimize the redness.
Otherwise, if you’re not a Norwood 6 or 7 and have some existing hair near the transplant area, you can try growing that hair out a little prior to the procedure so that you can use styling techniques to cover any redness that may be otherwise visible.
