Derma roller after hair transplant

[Alex Grey]

How soon I should be considering a derma roller after hair transplant 

 

is it really really necessary 

 

my hair is growing a bit slow (but still growing) with minoxidil 5% once a day and finasteride 1mg/day

 

my surgeon has suggested me to start derma rolling at home 

 

I am not very confident about it

im worried that I might end up doing more harm than good if by chance native hair gets damaged or any transplanted hair which are so new in the region 

 

is derma roller necessary after transplant 

 

Isn’t minoxidil enough to promote blood circulation 

 

I am not looking for fast results 

I just want something steady and stable 

 

please guide if derma roller after transplant is necessary 

 

thank you

Hi @Alex Grey. Who performed your surgery? I've seen your multiple threads and you have scars in the transplanted areas, do you know what caused this? Have you seen a dermatologist to inspect your scalp?

Can you please point out where exactly is the scar you are mentioning 

 

if it is the front forehead 

 

then it’s because after scabs formation 

the front scab there fell out after me having shower and doing regular light motion shampoo 

 

I understand the grafts are lost there 

that I have to manage because it was an accident 

 

it just fell out and blood was there 

 

nothing I did to it 

.

the other red dots around are probably from small acne I am getting which I think is called 

Follicultis 

.

the acne is not a lot 

One or two here and there which gets healed over time 

I’m not doing anything special for them 

.

rest could be just red spots which aren’t healed yet and would be in time as redness after transplant can stay for a while .

im 4 months into transplant .

 

it’s done in a India clinic 

 

and I’m not disclosing the doctor’s name because I am still in touch with them for post op care 

 

.

also if you can guide me

if derma roller is necessarily after a transplant or it can be skipped as I don’t feel confident using it

 

thank you

Go and visit Eugenix since you live in India. Easier and they can quide you and check your scalp since this doesn’t look good
