Sara Salas, MD · Answer

It is doubtful that you will damage your grafts at two months let alone the bulbs at your work. This is because the bulbs are not intense as actual sunlight.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Light bulbs, no matter how big they are, will not harm your grafts.  UV light will not harm the grafts, but it may discolor your skin while it is still red/ healing.

A giant compact fluorescent ( 300 w) bulb will not harm your hair transplant grafts, dont worry and keep going to work .

Robert Jones, MD, FISHRS · Answer

There is no evidence that being under a fluorescent light will have any affect on your new follicles.I would suggest continuing to work and wait for your hair to start growing at 3 months,Dr. Robert Jones

Cory Torgerson, MD, PhD, FRCSC - Account Suspended · Answer

Sitting under fluorescent lighting for any period of time will not affect your hair transplant. Direct exposure to sunlight may cause harm and therefore it is important to protect your head from sunlight but you are okay to leave it ex[posed to fluorescent lighting.
