Mucha gente se pregunta cuales son las razones y que efectos negativos puede tener la exposicion al sol prematura o durante los primeros 4-6 meses de la operacion.
Mucha gente en internet incluso afirma que los rayos ultra violeta pueden daniar la supervivencia de los foliculos y otros solo dicen que afecta la pigmentacion de la piel. El hecho es que la piel al ser cortada se vuelve mas sensible a la luz y los rayos ultra violetas y no es capaz de protegerse de los rayos a diferencia del resto de la piel que rodea nuestro pelo nativo, pero cuales son las consecuencias ? .. bueno, me puse a investigar un poco y les dejo esta opinion de Feller, en el mismo thread otros 4 doctores reconocidos confirman esta posicion.

There are a few reasons why you should avoid sunlight on your scalp for the first 4 to 6 months after HT
1. The first is that ANYTIME the skin is cut it may become more sensitive to light, particularly ultraviolet.
2. The second is that while the native skin around the transplant is capable of protecting itself from over-exposure to sunlight in the first few months after surgery, the newly implanted transplants are NOT.
I had a patient who received a sunburn within a month after his transplant. He visited the office because of the swelling and asked me to treat it. What I noticed was that while the skin around the transplants became VERY red, the sites where the grafts were implanted were totally WHITE. This meant that the skin could darken to somewhat protect itself, but the skin of the grafts had not regained this protective ability yet.
The skin contains chromatophores that will darken the skin when exposed to too much sun as a form of protection. However, these chromatophores either become inactive or die during transplantation and it takes time for them to either recover or regenerate within the grafts.
I treated this pateint with steroids successfully and he made a full recovery. Eight months later he visited for a follow up and experience thick growth as if nothing had happened. I wrote the case up and it was published in our industry journal around 1995.
In the end, the scalp is VERY resilient, but it is best NOT to test it. I can think of no vacation venue that takes place in the sun where a hat or bandana couldn't be worn to protect your new hair.
