Scalp stretching!

[NEWHAIRPLEASE]

For those of you who did it, could you actually feel for scalp getting looser?

[Dr. Glenn Charles]

There have been a few studies that have used different devices to measure scalp laxity that have shown scalp exercises can make a difference. I am sure that they may work or be effective in some patients when compared to others.

I have been doing my exercises for over 2.5 months as I have my HT surgery next week...and I am not sure if I truly feel I have improved my laxity. I gather it had to have helped it but can't really be sure though. I'm having 3k grafts and was told that my laxity is good for this so I'm hoping it really is come surgery time next week!

I also did them a bit before my last surgery but I wasn't consistent enough to expect much of a difference. Severn has a great story with scalp exercises. He had poor laxity and was a repair patient. He did them religiously, sometimes surpassing two hours a day. He nearly doubled the amount of grafts that SMG anticipated getting from him. I'm sure in the future I'll have to do more of 'em after three procedures already.

I've been doing at least 5 minutes each day for the past 2 months and I have noticed maybe a very little more movement in the scalp, but it's hardly noticeable and mostly in the sides, not so much in the back. I also wondered if people actually felt more movement as they practiced these. I always worry I'm not doing enough but as strange as this may sound find it hard to find time to do them in my crazy busy life.

I think I can actually tell a difference. I've been doing them for about 15-20 min a day for the last 3 months. It seems as if it has helped. I guess I'll find out next month! Maybe it's just a mental thing!
