Massage treatment for donor area?

September 21, 2017
Asked By:Donal290 in Dubai, AE

I had a FUE procedure with 4,500 to 5,000 grafts transplanted just three days ago. My doctor recommended that I must massage the donor area with a strong massage when washing to improve the circulation and healing process. (The recipitant areas should not be massaged or even touched.) But my donor area is very tender and red, and the massage treatment is very pain full. Is it necessary to massage the donor area after FUE surgery?

I got a FUE hair transplant 21 days ago (4500 follicles). About 70% of transplanted hairs have shedded and others are shedding
William Rassman, MD (retired) says:

These hairs will sooner or later shed. They are never a problem for new hairs that start to grow. Usually, there is a lag time between the time the hairs shed (2-8 weeks) and the time the new hair grows (3-8 months). IF for any reason, there is an overlap between the two, pay no attention to it...
