    @jj51702 I’ve also read in a number of places that side windows don’t block UVA. However, the only real study I’ve seen on the topic indicates there is at least partial UVA protection in the side windows of most cars these days. 

    An ophthalmologist tested 29 different car models 5 years ago and published a study with the results. The average side window UVA blockage was 71% (range 44-96%). The average windshield UVA blockage was 96%.

    Good info! Do both uva and uvb harm grafts? I thought uvb is the main issue as it causes sunburn?

  2. I've never seen the Chinese brought up in most conversations in regards to excelling in traditional western medicine. I think hair transplantation is such a niche field that it will be difficult to really try and expand into places like China.


    I agree though that if a good surgeon could set up a similar business model as what they do in the multiple patients per day/tech run clinics it would be even more affordable than turkey.

     

    The other issue is with the cultural differences that would spill into the aftercare. I just dont think China would cut it with western patients expecting the similar type of aftercare they receive with doctors in other countries like the US.

     

    All just my opinion

    I still get a slight all over itchyness in both my donor and recipient area years after my hair transplants. I've heard some others mention this as well, so it's not completely unusual. It really doesn't bother me anymore. It's just normal to me now.

     

    Did u have this itching before surgery? Do u think the itching can affect survival of the grafts? About a month after surgery I’ve been having itching in in the recipient since one month postop.

  4. You can easily search this forum for several repair cases, it’s not hard. Research around and get as many consults as you can from reputable doctors. Maybe reach out to joe Tillmann either thru his YouTube or website and he might be able to help direct u as he was a repair patient himself. Don’t lose hope it’s not the end. Good luck
