Senior Member SpaceBetween Posted May 26, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 26, 2009 I've seen conflicting feedback on whether it is okay to tan before HT? I want to tan as much as possible before HT to help with the appearance of the redness. Any input would be great. I want to make sure it won't affect the outcome Current Regimen: .5mg Fin ED Minox 2x daily Nizoral 1% 2-3 times a week Fish Oil capsules w/ Omega-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Eman Posted May 26, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 26, 2009 I was tan going into the weekend before my surgery and the weekend before heading up to Ottawa I spent three straight days at the beach and got even more tan. You just don't want to burn your scalp or anything like that. My results turned out great. I have never heard of it being an issue prior to a HT, only after... My initial HT thread: done and done!!

Senior Member FacelessMan Posted May 29, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 29, 2009 From what I've read here, tanning and even a mild burn won't prevent a procedure; I remember a post by Dr. Feller about him performing a procedure on someone with a mild sunburn without a problem. That said...having had skin cancer -- granted, the most mild kind of it -- I'm now 100% sold on avoiding burns or even tanning, ever. My dermatologist made the point pretty clearly when she explained that tanning, even without a burn or in any discomfort, is literally the result of the destruction of skin cells.
