Direct sunlight exposure vs indirect sunlight exposure after a hair transplant?

March 13, 2017
Asked By:Sony pictures in Vancouver, BC

I was wondering if one could lets say, drive a car without wearing a hat on a cloudy or even sunny day without direct sunlight exposure. I understand the complications of direct sunlight exposure after a hair traspant but can I for example be in the shade without wearing a hat on a cloudy or sunny day. Thanks four your response doctors!!

Answer: The reason why doctors tell you to avoid sun light is because of the ultraviolet light which can cause discoloration.
