How soon after FUE can I use my laser band? 4 days post-op.

Question

I had an FUE procedure on the 30th January 2018 and was wondering when I can start using my hairmax laserband 82 again? I feel I can get best coverage when my hair is this short but worried it might be too much for the new Hair. Many Thanks

Try not to rush thing up after your hair transplant operation. Give yourself some time to heal. I would suggest you to wait for 3-4 months for your lazer band.

It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.

I tell my patients to wait a week, mostly because I'm concerned they'll bump the grafts when getting the band settled in place.  Check with your surgeon for his/her personal preference.

I have been involved with laser therapy for the past 13-15 years, I have been part of three research studies and two of them: the use of laser therapy following hair transplantation. Some of the benefits of laser therapy after hair surgery are: decrease redness, swollen and scab formation of the recipient area, decrease pain or discomfort of the donor and recipient areas. So, I will recommend you to start laser therapy immediately after the hair transplantation BUT you need to contact your hair surgeon for his approval. Good luck.

Once all of the crusts are off and you have a normal recipient area, you can then use your laser band
