Can I tan 2 months after a FUE hair transplant?

Question

When I got the FUE 2 months ago it was only for 1,600 grafts, I still have a lot of coverage on my head. Plus I plan on wearing a bandana and baseball cap on top of that. From what I hear the sun wont effect graft growth unless it has direct contact with grafts. Is this true?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.

After two months you can do what ever you like. There is no restrictions if you have already healed

You should be fine as long as you protect the area from the sun exposure. A sunburn in this area will kill the grafts so it is important that you protect the transplanted area.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

The exposure to any intense sun is never a good idea after a hair transplant particularly in the first 90 days when wound healing occurs
