Hot hair dryer/blower
Hi Guys,
I had a hair transplant a couple of months ago and today in hurry I used hair dryer/blower to the maximum setting.
I was planning for the day and didn’t realise that I over used the dryer to the point where pain(due to burning of scalp) was unbearable.
I quickly washed my hair with cold water however I realised that my scalp turned pink in colour.
I dont feel any sting or pain on my scalp anymore. However, I would like to know if over heating has destroyed the transplanted hair folliculars?
Any way to find out? Or I am just being paranoid?
Doctor's advice would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

At 2 months post op you'll be ok. My advice is - ease off the hairdryer heat

At 2 months post-op it would really be a skin issue more than a hair growing issue. You should be more careful when using higher heat setting. Either lower the heat or increase the distance from the scalp. I am sure that the redness will subside and everything will turn out ok.

At this point post-op, it is extremely unlikely that you hurt the transplanted follicles.
