Answer: Post- transplant scabbing Be sure to see your team for how they would like you to deal with scabbing AT 4 weeks post FUE your surgeon may ask you to let the shower head stream beat right down on your grafts. To loosen the crust up a bit, you may also be asked to put baby oil on the scalp for 10-15 minutes to help soften and loosen things up.Getting rid of scabbing is a very important goal - be sure to speak to your team.As far as smoking goes, there's one thing which is for sure: 5 weeks stopping is better than 4 weeks and 7 weeks is better than 5. Post transplant hair follicle healing and regeneration is enhanced greatly by stopping smoking. Check with your surgeon. If you can do 3-4 months, that would likely very helpful. Of course, many patients do return 1-2 months after their transplant and have nice results. But the longer the better, no doubt.
