Trim hair under 1 mm, several months after FUE: will white dots be visible?

March 20, 2016
Asked By:koolkid82 in Italy, IT

I should undergo 2 sessions of FUE (3500 grafts +2000 more or less later). I currently shave my head and I am comfortable with it. However, since I have to undergo 2 mega sessions of FUE, I don't know how the results will be. That's why I want to keep the option of shaving my end just in case, but this won't be possible if FUE leaves visible scars , if I trim my hair at 0.3-0.5 mm. Can this be the case? What do you suggest?

Answer: If your hair length is under 1mm, your FUE scar will likely be visible. FUE is not a scar-less surgery. This is a misconceptio
