Very high pressure water bad for transplant? 🚿


Recommended Posts

  • Senior Member

I have dandruff and get scaly scalp buildup. I notice when I shampoo and use the highest pressure setting (massage) On my shower head it helps remove some of this. Can this very high pressure water stream be bad for transplanted or native hair? Roughly 5 months post op right now

thanks all

Nope. Not in the slightest, particularly at 5 months out. The only time you need to be concerned about water pressure when washing your hair is immediately post-op. Depending on your surgeon and their post-op care instructions, this is usually anywhere from 5-10 days.

No danger in dislodging transplanted follicles at this stage.

Thanks Dr Khokhar. I guess I’m more worried about damaging or pulling on the newly sprouted hairs that are growing?

NP. You'll be fine, no need to worry about this.

My advice does not constitute a patient-physician relationship nor as medical advice and all medical questions/concerns should be addressed to your medical provider.
