How long after a FUE procedure can I visit a tanning bed?

January 11, 2018
Asked By:a2258 in Chicago, IL

I recently underwent a 1,500 graft FUE procedure. How soon can visit a tanning bed? The artificial sunlight will not be directly at the top of my head. This will be a mild session of 15 minutes in a standard tanning bed. Thank you!

Using the blow dryer on the transplanted hair after 24 days of surgery on the hot setting!
Sean Behnam, MD says:

Yes, that should be fine. After a month your grafts are considering fully healed and as strong as regular hairs, so at 24 days blow drying should be fine. Always check with your doctor though in case there are specific factors of your case that may change this.
