Senior Member MazAB Posted July 30, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Wanted to see if anyone has had positive results with infrared light therapy like the iRestore device after a hair transplant. I know that most clinics will tell you to stay off topical minoxidil, and even durmarolling right after transplant, but have not heard anything about infrared light as another option during this critical period after the transplant. There are definitely studies that back the healing properties of red light therapy and if it could reduce the inflammation that ultimately causes the shedding and shock loss, as well promote new growth, I honestly can't think of a better product to sub in during recovery. Thoughts? Edited July 30, 2021 by MazAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? LaserCap can help. This promotes blood flow to the area. More nutrients, etc. And, in combination with PRP, can help with rapid growth and reversal of thinning hair.

Senior Member MazAB Posted July 30, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2021 Thanks @LaserCaps, but do you know if it is safe to use directly after a hair transplant? Just don't want to experiment with my newly planted grafts if it could have a detrimental effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member gillenator Posted July 30, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2021 For me, I just would not use it at all...on all four of my procedures I simply just waited for the regrowth of my grafts and allowed my own auto-immune system to do the healing. 2 2 Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.
