Hello, I had a hair transplant two weeks ago. On day 1 post op, I took 500mg of caffeine (two caffeine pills and a redbull, which is normal for me). Only after taking it did I think to look up if it would have an effect on blood flow, and I panicked when I saw that apparently caffeine is a vasoconstrictor. I am worried that it could have an adverse effect on the outcome. Are there any users out there who took caffeine in the first three days after a hair transplant who could verify if it affected the results?

Truthfully, I have several options for which surgeon I could possibly go to, and I have not completely made up my mind yet. Another user gave me some information about Lorenzo, which I am thankful to know. In fact, I will go a step further and say that I'm not going to Lorenzo anymore. lol. If I need to make a separate thread about surgeons, I will. However, I would still like to stick to the question about microneedling for this thread as much as possible. Thanks.

I don't have the ability to pm. It looks like you have to have a certain level of membership or something to send pm's. This is my first post ever so it says I can send "0 messages per day". I clicked on the "message" button. Am I doing something wrong here?

Hello, I am scheduled for a hair transplant next year. The one thing that I am really paranoid about is the potential that I ruined the tissue in my recipient area by microneedling it two years ago. I used the Dr. Pen dermapen at 1.5mm depth once a week. I only did somewhere between 4-8 sessions in total, but my head was very red afterwards, and the needles did puncture my skin all over the entire recipient area. I stopped microneedling, but I'm worried that I ruined my recipient area before I've even started by creating scar tissue. Has anyone had a successful hair transplant after they had done microneedling beforehand? If there are other people who could post their successful hair transplant result after having done microneedling before, it would really help put my mind at ease.
