Can I tan 2 months after a FUE hair transplant?

jf1985Jul 14, 2018
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?

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.

If you know the extent of balding you will have, as you age, you can consider a well planned out surgery.  There is nothing wrong with having hair transplant surgery on the crown.  However, if you continue to lose hair, it may not look natural. If you are certain you will come back for more s...

Photos cannot determine if you would be a good candidate for surgery.  You need an examination and the doctor needs to understand your goals and expectations.
