An FUE is treated justlike a regular hair transplant with regard to the recipient area, but the donorarea has open wounds which require daily washing with soap and water. Within 3days of surgery, you can resume full activities, heavy exercises if you wish.The recipient area requires daily washes as well to keep the recipient areafree of crusts. I generally recommend the use of a sponge and supply my patientwith a surgical sponge to fill with soapy water and press on the recipient areadaily. By repeating this daily, all crusts can be washed off without any fearof losing grafts. IF any crust are present, use a Q tip and dip it into soapywater, and roll it on the crusts and that will lift them off without dislodgingthem, but never rub them, just roll the Q tip on the recipient crust. I like tosee no evidence of any crusting in the recipient area and the crusts from thedonor area gone in 7-10 days with daily washing. Nothing that you add will accelerate the healing
