Regular Member Carbon Posted March 26, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted March 26, 2021 Hey All, just did 1500 FUE procedure yesterday and was given saline spray. I’ve been reading the saline spray is suppose to keep the grafts moist, but the solution drys up really quick after spraying (probably within a minute). Never used saline spray before, so just figuring out what the right technique is to keeping the grafts moist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spray onto your grafts every hour you’re awake for the first week, spray every couple of hours in the second week. That’s it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Carbon Posted March 26, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 26, 2021 Yeah I’ve been doing it every hour, but as I mentioned the solution drys up really quick. Lol I even tasted it, tastes like water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member bricvic Posted March 27, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted March 27, 2021 If you think your grafts are drying too soon at an hour, then spray every 15-30 minutes. You're right, it is important to keep the grafts moist in the beginning. You can buy more saline wound spray at the drug store if you run out.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 27, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 27, 2021 To be perfectly honest, the spray isn’t necessary. Some clinics still tell you to spray, but once an hour is enough. Don’t get OCD about it. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Regular Member GaryJ Posted March 27, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted March 27, 2021 Dr. Bicer also says no water or spray first three days. So every doc has a different protocol. Best of luck in your final journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Al - Moderator Posted March 28, 2021 Moderators Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Don't worry too much about it. There's no way to keep them wet all the time. Just spray every hour or two the first few days to make sure they don't get too dried out for too long. As Melvin said it's not even required to actually get growth, but it may help and it certainly helps with the scab removal later if you've been keeping them wet the first few days. It also keeps the area clean. Edited March 28, 2021 by BeHappy Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Senior Member JohnCasper Posted March 31, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 31, 2021 Moist grafts are probably not a big deal. It's what's under the skin that's most important. Those grafts seeking and finding a quick blood supply is key. I am an online representative for Carolina Hair Surgery & Dr. Mike Vories (Recommended on the Hair Transplant Network).
