Sun Exposure After Eyebrow Transplant?

I don't know of specific studies regarding this, but intuitively I would recommend nurturing the skin as much as possible.Whether you have eyebrow or scalp hair transplant, you will have tiny crusts for the first several days. It would be good to avoid sun exposure while they are still there.

After that, a good sunscreen and avoidance of excess sun exposure is good practice for everyone - not only for the new hairs, but also to help keep the skin from premature aging, and developing skin cancers.

There is really no standardized answer to this, but we usually recommend staying out of the sun until the "scabs" from the transplant are healed. Following that, and until the hair is strong and growing, we recommend sunscreen to protect the area.  However, we recommend using sunscreen daily to protect your skin, so you should be applying SPF protection to the face daily anyway.
