Hello doctors! 23 days ago I had FUE (3500 grafts). My donor area is still very red. Also sometimes it is itching a lot. My doctor told me that this is completely normal and it will take some time to disappear. However, I think that it is unusual. Should I use some ointments which can help me to reduce this redness? Or maybe some other medications? Thanks for your help!

Answer: Hair Shock and Redness after Hair Transplant Hi and thank you for the questions. Since we have switched over to using Laser Cap treatments after the SmartGraft hair restoration procedure, I am not seeing a lot of this because of the rapid healing and hair regrowth that these two techniques help us and the patients enjoy. I would suggest reaching out to the MD or office that performed the hair transplant to help suggest an option to help relieve this.

Answer: Hair Transplant Dear SamWeedThanks for the question. There is nothing to worry about. As far as I can see even there are some new hair coming up in the area in which you request surgery. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Redness in the donor area Hello there. Thank you for your question. We see this commonly in some skin types. The redness usually disappears at month 3. We see this less and less now as we use PRP after the surgery to speed up healing. Don't bother with any lotions and potions they will probably make it worse. Your body knows how to heal itself.
