Answer: Donor site after FUE takes a few months to heal From the picture, I think you donor site looks very good. It can take several months for the redness to fade completely but it will. I personally had the procedure done at my own office, and it took about 3-4 months for the redness to resolve. Most of it was hemosiderin staining (blood tatoo) from repeated needle sticks. None the less, you are going to be just fine. Thanks for the question. Enjoy your FUE results, Dr. Giordano

Answer: Redness at donor site after FUE The donor (and recipient) area can show inflammatory changes like redness or pigmentary changes for several months after a transplant. As the inflammation resolves and the areas heal completely, this color change generally resolves. Cutting the hair slightly longer can be helpful to disguise these colors changes as the area heals. Hair should continue to grow immediately in the donor area from the follicles that were left in place at the time of the FUE. Hair that is transplanted into the recipient site will often take at least 6 months to become noticeable, and at least 12 months to mature. As always, any specific post-procedure concerns should be discussed directly with your surgeon.Best,

Answer: Redness in donor area It is not uncommon to have mild redness in the donor area for up to several months after FUE.Native hair that was clipped down for the procedure should already be growing back-at the rate of approximately-1/2 inch per month.
