Can skull X-Rays cause damage 10 days post FUE procedure?

Thank you for your query. The amount of radiation after routine skull x-Ray should not cause damage to your grafted hair as long as common sense precautions were taken. Please let your Physician know who can help you with your concerns. All the best!

Hello I'm Dr. Wipawan Vathananai, a co-worker of Dr. Kulakarn Amonpattana, from BHI Clinic, Bangkok, Thailand. One session of skull X-ray will unlikely to damage the grafts.

Having a skull X-ray 10 days post-FUE procedure might raise concerns, but the potential for significant damage to your grafts is generally low. X-rays emit lower levels of radiation compared to MRI scans. However, it's advisable to inform your surgeon about the X-ray and seek their professional input.

The immediate post-FUE period is crucial for graft survival, so any precautionary measures are reasonable. Your surgeon can assess the situation and provide guidance based on their expertise. While it's unlikely to cause substantial damage, maintaining open communication with the medical team is key for peace of mind.
