What can I do for low hair density in donor area 10 weeks after FUE? (photos)

Medico di base
Hello, I am a doctor, I have done FUE technique 10 weeks ago, with 5100 hair follicles in one set under 8 hours.After the operation, had severe redness continued for 8 wks. Now the low density in the donor area continues without improvement. I use Minoxidil, Haarex multivitamins and serum regularly.I do not want to use Finasteride tablets because of possible side effects. What can I do to improve the donor area?Just to wait?When should I move for a correction of the donor area? Thanks in advance.
