Dust exposure after FUE Beard Transplant. Should I be concerned?

abd00hFeb 23, 2016
One day after my FUE Beard Transplant, I went outside during the night and there was a dust wave and the air was dusty. I covered the transplanted area with my scarf. Should I be concered? Would this have any affect on the growth of the transplanted grafts?
