Regular Member mansons Posted June 16, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted June 16, 2016 It's been 2 weeks since the HT, is there supposed to be redness on the recipient area? What do you guys think on using witch hazel at this point, i've heard it brings down the redness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Dr. Scott Alexander MD Posted June 16, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2016 Redness can still be apparent after 3, 4 -8+ weeks on some patients so do not be too concerned at the 2 week stage as it is very common to still have redness. There are a number of posts on products to help with healing witch hazel being one of them.

Senior Member pkipling Posted June 16, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2016 The redness of the recipient area is totally normal, and for some people, the most problematic/annoying part of the whole process, as it can be difficult to conceal if it's being stubborn and doesn't wanna go away. As Dr. Alexander said, it can last for a couple weeks or a couple months. It varies person to person. Spex made a fantastic post providing various tips on how to minimize the redness. I suggest you check it out and see if that helps guide you in the right direction. I've attached the link to his post here. Best of luck!

Senior Member MrGio-WHTCClinic Posted June 16, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2016 Redness in the recipient is normal, you will see it dissipate. You may even have pinkness for up to three to six months. Remember to stay out of the sun and avoid sunburn. My opinions are my own. I am one representative of MyWHTC Clinic's European branch.
