RSS FeedTanning Salon After Hair TransplantPosted by doctorhasson on November 1st, 2010
If I went tanning in a high powered tanning bed for about 15 minutes without covering my head a few days after a hair transplant would that delay or restrict growth of the newly transplanted hair? — S.D.
There is not sufficient data on exactly what effects a tanning bed may have on the transplanted grafts soon after surgery. We advise our patients to limit sun or tanning bed exposure to the transplanted area for up to 6 months after surgery. Severe burning of the area can potentially cause damage to the grafts. Your 15 minute exposure probably would not have caused any harm. However, if you were a patient of ours we would recommend that you stay out of the tanning bed for several months post-op. If a patient of ours feels it necessary to go in the tanning bed, we advise they cover the recipient area to prevent exposure.
