Can I tan 2 months after a FUE hair transplant?

July 14, 2018
Asked By:jf1985 in Maplewood, NJ

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 says:

Light bulbs, no matter how big they are, will not harm your grafts.  UV light will not harm the grafts, but it may discolor your skin while it is still red/ healing.
