Typically by 9 days following a procedure the grafts are well incorporated into the scalp and cannot be dislodged.

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

You may start to gym, heavy exercises and swimming 2 weeks after the FUE operation. Jogging, running, sauna, cycling etc don't give any harm after 2 weeks of operation . You can start to use minoxidil and other hair growth supportive drugs or food supplaments  (those contains biotin, zinc, folic acid, methionine, saw palmetto etc) 2 weeks after surgery.
