Regular Member ytoday Posted March 7, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'm very very curious ff my scalp, post procedure, is exposed to sunlight through a glass window, can this be bad for the implanted area? its perhaps for like an hour a day, but only through a glass window and a thin curtain.

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Technically you can get a sun burn through a window. To much sun exposure after a hair transplant is not recommended. The recipient area is usually red and irritated already and sun exposure can only make it worse. Sunlight through a window and a curtain will not likely cause any damage depending on the thickness of the curtain and the angle at which the sunlight hits the scalp.

Senior Member mmhce Posted March 8, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted March 8, 2010 Dr. Charles is right. Have you heard about the green house effect? UV radiation can penetrate glass. take care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member mmhce Posted March 11, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted March 11, 2010 what is the first indicationn or sympton that ones implanted area has begun to be effected by sun exposure? All "burns", chemical, radiation, etc. result in some form of blistering and peeling of the epithelial tissue resulting in "redness" or "soreness". Don't worry about it. If you have a thin curtain on your office window, you should be fine. take care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the sunlight coming through glass windows (plus curtain) had any adverse effects on your results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
