Microneedling pre-op for FUE transplant?

February 29, 2024
Asked By:Loving699714

If you microneedle, could that hinder a future hair transplant? I read somewhere it could, but I have also read experiences of patient saying they were doing microneedling before their surgery, but did not mention any complications during, nor after the operation. I recently started doing microneedling, but now questioning if I should stop or not.
