Scalp smoothness after hair transplant?

houssam23Nov 19, 2016
Are there ways to enhance the scalp smoothness after hair transplant After 16 months my scalp is not smooth, it is getting better than before but it is still not smooth under each hair there is like tiny shiny dot, it is like there is acne under each hair They are the same dots at time of doing the surgery looking to the whole area is like looking to a dirty pond under sun, Is there any type of laser or treatment can help in this ? If i remove the hair can the scalp become smooth again

If you have oily scalp after surgery, try washing your scalp more often.  If you are not sure, it is best to contact your doctor.

We tell our patients that using Toppik or other concealers 2 months after a hair transplant procedure is safe and should cause any problem with permanent hair growth.

If you read bad reviews from people that know about the clinic, then it would seem to be a more reliable source of information over people who have never heard of them.

If you don't have good donor hair, a hair transplant surgery would not work.  There is no such thing as stem cell therapy in hair transplant surgery.  (at least not in 2016)

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.  In general vitamins and supplements are not necessary.

Hair transplant surgery is basically relocating the hairs you have from one area to another.  If you have good donor hair, you can cover the area you want.  Scalp MicroPigmentation is used to diminish the contrast between hair and scalp color to make it look like you have more hair.
