Can Scalp Stretching Exercises Aid in Hair Transplant Scar Revision?

Can [tag]scalp stretching[/tag] exercises add enough laxity to the scalp to aid in hair transplant [tag]scar revision surgery[/tag]?

This insightful information was posted on our hair restoration forum by Dr. James E. Vogel of Owings Mills, MD who is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.

Yes! Scalp stretching exercises help loosen tight scalps and I recommend this maneuver to many [tag]hair transplant[/tag] and repair patients. However, in the case of an individual who has undergone one or more [tag]follicular unit[/tag] harvests from the same site there is considerable scalp tissue already missing and scalp exercises in this situation are unlikely to produce enough added laxity to make a real difference.
