How long after FUE can I have SMP on donor area?

Question

I'm having a final FUE to thicken my scalp, how long after my procedure should I wait to have SMP to cover the scars?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

You can have SMP to cover the FUE scars when the redness is gone.  In general most people wait 1 to 3 months.

Thank you for your question. I would recommend waiting a minimum of 2 months following your FUE procedure to your donor area. This allows for resolution of inflammation and swelling from the harvesting procedure.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

Hello and thank you for your question. In my opinion you should wait a couple of months after your FUE before you go for a SMP procedure. Best wishes.Dr. T

There is no general rule to answer your question. We usually wait about 3 months before doing SMP after the last FUE, but sometimes it can be done sooner.
