Regular Member D_Matt_I Posted June 1, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted June 1, 2022 Does anyone have any experience or opinion about using Base Labs Piercing Aftercare Spray to help reduce redness after an FUE transplant? It's a saline-based spray that also contains aloe vera, rosemary, tea tree oil, allantoin, Vitamin B4, sodium hyaluronate, and benzalkonium chloride. I used it after a skin laser resurfacing on my face and it seems to have kept the redness down. I'm wondering if it might work for redness after a transplant too? I'm scheduled to have my 2nd FUE transplant at the end of June. I had a lot of redness that persisted for about 3 months after my first 3900 FUE transplant 2.5 years ago. So I'm trying to figure out what I can do to reduce the redness this time... Thanks in advance for any feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 2, 2022 Administrators Share Posted June 2, 2022 I don’t believe there’s any spray that could reduce redness. Time is the best solution.

Absolute miracle stuff for me reducing redness Thank you. Melvin's probably right about just being patient, but I'll ask my doctor about the aloe vera too. If he says it's OK, I'll give it a shot. I figure, as long as the doc thinks it's OK, it won't hurt to try... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member pkipling Posted June 5, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2022 I would run this by your doctor, but witch hazel has been suggested in threads in the past as a natural way to help reduce redness as well. I can't speak to how effective it is, as I just let mine run its course and time do its thing, but it's something to look into if you feel so inclined. I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA. My views/opinions are my own and don't necessarily reflect the opinions of Dr. Mohebi and his staff.

Senior Member A Fue Good Men Posted June 5, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2022 As stated previously aloe Vera is a great option that aids in healing and calms down inflammation. It may also help with redness. with that being said, there are clinics out there that have patients use topical steroids to address post op redness. However, I’d speak to your clinic/doctor before even considering this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
