How to treat redness after FUE hair transplant in recipient area?

Dear shazamm,Thank you for posting this question. The redness following a hair transplant procedure is normal and expected. It will fade typically by 8 to 10 days. It may persist longer, and I've seen it persist up to 2-3 months in those with a very light shade of skin (eg: Fitzpatrick 1). If it persists the only thing I would suggest is some makeup to cover the redness. A little cover-up for a few weeks while the redness subsides often works very well. I hope this information is helpful to you.Kind Regards,Ken Anderson, MD, FISHRS, ABHRS

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.

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.

The redness remains after the "normal" 14 days is normal and it may stay up to 3-4 months . İt depends on your skin color/fitzpatrick classification .(Lighter your color, more red discolored skin after surgery) ....I recommend you to use nothing for that temporary situation .

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.
