How to treat redness after FUE hair transplant in recipient area?
Doctor Answers 8
No need to worry. Be patient the redness will dissipate within the next week in the recipient area. I don't recommend applying anything for the next two weeks.

The redness after hair transplant is a result of increased blood supply to the area which at this point is a good thing for you. It should improve on its own in a few days.

You reported redness in FUE donor area one day after a hair transplant. I would expect that this will go away in the next 4-5 days.

Post-op redness will occur both in the recipient area and the donor area. The degree and length of time in which both areas will remain pink or red, will largely depend on the individual's skin tone. Redness in the recipient area occurs due to the presence of newly formed blood vessels and inflammation from the placement of the new grafts. Some patients are lucky and either don't experience it at all, or it goes away quickly. It appears that those with fairer skin may be more vulnerable to extended redness. It is better to consult with your surgeon before using any kind of shampoo or medication. All the best

Ask your doctor if you would like to apply some sort of cream/gel to help with the redness. At two weeks those should be fine but it's better to be safe. Generally I would expect redness to dissipate within a month, not two weeks, so I don't think you should be too concerned about it yet.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen. This includes addressing redness. Some doctors may give you a steroid pill or a shot.
