Can we use derma roll on the recipient area?

[braun453]

I see some people using a derma roll on their recipient area to stimulate hair growth, reduce discoloration, improve texture etc. Do you guys know if we can do that safely, if yes, after how many days post op can one start?

I was also wondering how soon can you derma rolling after a hair transplant?

i see some people say 6 months at least. the discoloration on your recipient area is different, it's reddish due to the fact it's healing.

the discoloration people mention on dermarolling are usually for old scars where the color is different to it's neighbouring area. it might be fine but i think it's best to be prudent and just let it heal before doing it.
