Peeling skin treatment on recipient area after a FUE surgery? (photos)

Dear Zaid89,I am not familiar with the "peeling skin" treatment that you're referring to.  The tiny pieces of skin still attached to the follicles will slough off naturally in time, without any treatment.  What I have our patients do following an ARTAS robotic FUE hair restoration is the following:1) wait 9 days following your hair transplant2) put a generous amount of clean baby oil onto the transplanted area and leave for 30 minutes3) get in the shower and shampoo your hair twiceFollowing this procedure that you can do at home, most, if not all, of the scabs and dried skin should leave the transplanted area and reveal only the transplanted hairs.

You need to follow up with your doctor and his/her post operative plan.In general we see our patients back the next day and start the hair wash (next day).The Internet is not a place to receive personal medical care/ advise - especially post-surgical treatment plan.

If you have trusted a doctor to do your hair transplant surgery, it would make sense that you trust their advice on the follow up care routine they advocate after the surgery they have performed on you. After all, it is that doctor who will be responsible for the end result. Different hair transplant surgeons have different routines. One is not necessarily better than another and nor is there a 'right' or a 'wrong' regime.

Fue, especially with newer devices like neograft or artas, can produce great results if you let the natural course take action. You should also get more details on what the peeling skin treatment is just out of curiosity.

The first 5-7 days you have to be very gentle with the scabs and your washing routine.  After the 10 th day you can start rubbing the area with shampoo. Usually at ten day mark after washing the hair the scabs will become a bit softer and easier to fall off.  I would not do any peeling at this point since you may extract the follicles with the scabs as you are peeling. 

NO, NO, NO, that is the worst thing that you can do. I wrote an article about this and what I concluded was that people who pealed or pulled off the scabs from the recipient site, lost their hair forever. Don't do it, just wash it regularly and wait unitil they fall out on their own.
