Regular Member andrew11 Posted August 29, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) hello everyone , i heard that chemicals can cause damage to a hair transplant. I smelt an open bottle of hertel thinking that it was filled up with water (we use to use it as a push push for water) i was also around the smell of vinegar. Can smell hurt hair grafts ? I am 2 months post op. Thank you everyone Edited August 29, 2020 by andrew11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Al - Moderator Posted August 29, 2020 Moderators Share Posted August 29, 2020 No. It's not going to matter. You are fine. I don't know what hertel is, but anything that can do damage would have to be spilled onto the grafts for any chance of doing any damage and even then it probably wouldn't matter unless you kept it on the grafts for an extended time or if the grafts were touching some chemicals somewhat regularly. It would have to be something very strong to damage your grafts with a one time spill on them. Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Nothing of scent can harm hair grafts that are relatively new ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as your doc and his assistants weren't bathing your grafts in chemicals before they put them under your skin your fine. But even at 2 months ...smells can still hurt your chance with the ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member gillenator Posted August 30, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted August 30, 2020 Applying hair color that is peroxide based can harm newly implanted grafts but not smelling it...😉 Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.
