Microneedling pre-op for FUE transplant?

Loving699714Feb 29, 2024
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.

Hello, before making any decisions about a second procedure, I would also recommend to wait around 12 months after the initial surgery (as recommended). Before any additional procedures, it is important to allow the time for maximum growth and maturation of the transplanted hair.

Great question! When you have an FUE hair transplant, each graft can contain multiple hair follicles—typically anywhere from 1 to 4 hairs. In general, the hair follicles within a single graft tend to grow back at the same time because they share the same blood supply and healing process....

Noticeable growth and thickening of the transplanted hair begins after 6 months. This period is also called the hair busting stage. At this time your new hair grows normally at the same rate as your old hair, about 1-2 cm per month.
