    Default Increasing Graft Survivabilty Through Cold Therapy?

    Wondering if anyone thought about using some sort of cryo cap post FUE in order to help with healing, swelling, increased blood flow and any discomfort? It seems that there are 2 companies out there making them.

    One seems to be for chemo treatments https://penguincoldcaps.com/us/

    Then there is the one that is more concussion and sports oriented. Click image for larger version

    Every knee/shoulder operation I was required to use something like this post op.

    Since I put down a deposit on 1500 graft ARTAS Im looking to keep what gets transplanted.

    Cryo caps sound bogus but they are in fact legitimate means of helping patients undergoing chemotherapy keep their hair. The principle, in brief, is that in the peri-chemo administration period you cool the scalp, reduce scalp blood flow, and reduce follicular exposure to chemo thus allowing less hair loss. People still lose hair, but usually less than they would without scalp cooling.

    To the best of my knowledge these have not been used following HT surgery.

    Sounds like I should give it the old N=1 college try.
