Senior Member gillenator Posted November 8, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted November 8, 2011 Scalp elasticity is not an issue with FUE because extractions are being done instead of a long strip of tissue being excised horizontally throughout the occipital zone.

Senior Member Sean Posted November 8, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted November 8, 2011 I was told they are not needed for FUE. I had that very same question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I agree. In fact, to much laxity may actually be a negative with fUE. Dr. Glenn Charles is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member SugarHighs Posted November 9, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) Outstanding - I wanted nothing to do with them. Upon asking, I was advised to do 5 minutes of scalp exercises the week prior to my FUE for circulation. That sounds a whole lot better than 30 minutes a day for months.

Senior Member gillenator Posted November 18, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted November 18, 2011 That's the first that I heard of scalp excercises for FUE for circulation?

Senior Member SugarHighs Posted November 18, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 18, 2011 That's the first that I heard of scalp excercises for FUE for circulation? The exercises were not specifically recommended for the purposes of circulation - rather when I asked about the exercises, the clinic (Dr. Rahal's) mentioned that I *can* do them for the benefit of circulation, if I want to.

Senior Member Jotronic Posted November 18, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted November 18, 2011 Time to nip this one in the bud. Scalp exercises are not designed with the intent to increase blood flow nor is an increase in blood flow needed. In fact, I would imagine that an increase in blood flow would be a negative since the last thing a surgeon wants is for the patient to be bleeding more than average.
